Katie Leclerc: Haunted Hayride with Francia Raisa!

Katie Leclerc, Francia Raisa and Taylor Spreitler all stepped out for a night of scare at the 2011 Los Angeles Haunted Hayride VIP opening night held at Griffith Park on Sunday night (October 9).

The ABC Family stars stepped into the nightmare of the Clifton Twins, the daughters of Zoo Keeper Ferdinand Clifton who were rumored for years to suffer from violent nightmares so uncontrollable they were treated for sleep disorders.

Their journals, which documented these ghastly visions, were found in their entirety and the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride has recreated their contents for a 25-minute experience through the woods that left guests as prey. Eek!

Katie, who recently guest starred on The Big Bang Theory, chatted with TVLine about her departure from sweet Daphne to conniving Emily.

“This is such a departure from the character I play on Switched at Birth, who’s a shining example of sweetness, the doe-eyed 16-year-old. It was cool to play someone who really is unapologetic and just sort of goes for what she wants,” Katie shared.
