What if I am shy, don’t feel like I can scare, or have no acting experience?

Don’t worry, people come to the haunted house ready to be scared, and we place volunteers in positions and costumes to easily scare someone. Some people are a little nervous at first but quickly pick up on scaring and are easily able to scare others. We use many different styles and techniques to scare people and we’ll find the one that fits your personality best. We also have experienced actors who regularly encourage and assist volunteers in their new roles at the haunted house so we can help you become a monster and have fun!

Will I be placed in a room by myself?

No. New volunteers work together within a scare zone with other actors, and are not left alone by themselves during the show. You will be paired off with someone that you can partner well with to help us deliver a great show.

Is volunteering safe?

Yes, we work very hard and comply with all safety requirements from both building and fire inspectors. We have invested heavily in special mechanical systems to keep everyone safe in case of an emergency. We also have security onsite at all times we are open for business. During our shows, no patron is allowed to touch an actor and no actor may touch a patron.
