A place for Everyone

Actor? Parking Lot? Event Staff? We have a role for you! Just let us know what most interests you on your application!

With our short season, we may not fit the needs of everyone. We typically operate from September through October on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in addition to a few off-season events throughout the year. Due to our short season, availability dates are very important and have strong bearing on consideration for hire. In addition, we are unable to guarantee a minimum number of hours each week. Reliable transportation is also very important; everyday we are open the show must go on and we need our crew here!

We make our selections from those applicants who most closely meet our standards. Applicant evaluations are based on the following factors: attitude, availability, enthusiasm, communication skills, courtesy, and of course, the ability to show our guests a scary good time!
