Job description

Description:

Position Overview


We are seeking enthusiastic, energetic, and creative individuals to join our team as Haunted Actors for our fall haunted attractions season. Each year during September and October, our cider mill transforms into a hub of thrilling, spine-chilling entertainment, hosting a variety of haunted experiences for guests of all ages. As a Haunted Actor, you will be at the heart of the excitement — bringing characters to life, delivering unforgettable scares, and creating lasting memories for our guests.


This is a temporary, seasonal position ideal for performers, thrill-seekers, and anyone who loves Halloween and the art of scare entertainment.


Responsibilities and Duties

  • Perform as a scare actor within assigned haunted attraction scenes and zones
  • Portray designated characters using provided costumes, makeup, and props
  • Engage guests in character throughout each performance shift
  • Follow all directed cues to deliver a consistent, high-quality guest experience
  • Maintain character integrity and energy level throughout the entire shift
  • Collaborate with fellow actors, directors, and crew to ensure smooth attraction operations
  • Attend mandatory pre-season orientation, training, and rehearsals
  • Adhere to all safety protocols and guidelines for both guests and fellow cast members
  • Report to your designated scene or zone on time and in full costume and makeup
  • Communicate promptly with supervisors regarding any costume, makeup, or safety concerns


Education, Skills & Knowledge

  • Must be 16 years of age or older
  • Ability to commit to the full September–October season, including all Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings
  • Comfortable working in dark, loud, and enclosed environments
  • Physically able to stand, crouch, walk, and move in costume for extended periods
  • Strong performance energy with the ability to maintain character for full shift duration
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional — attendance is critical to our team's success
  • Comfortably wear full costumes, masks, and theatrical makeup
  • A positive, team-player attitude and willingness to take direction
  • Prior acting, theatre, or performance experience is a plus, but not required


Working Conditions

  • Ability to work outdoors and in indoor haunted environments in varying weather conditions
  • Ability to remain in character and on your feet for multiple hours per shift
  • Tolerance for strobe lights, fog machines, loud sound effects, and other special effects
  • Comfort with close-proximity guest interaction in high-energy, fast-paced situations


Availability Requirements

Candidates must be available to work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening throughout the entire September and October season. Shifts will run from early evening through late-night hours. Specific shift times will be communicated prior to the season start. Attendance at mandatory pre-season training (typically held in late August or early September) is also required.


Be a team player and adhere to the Blake Family Mission Statement “Growing Good Times and Memories for Every Generation” and embody our core values:

W- Whatever it takes

H- Help each other be successful

A- Accountable to one another

T- Treat customers like guests in our homes and employees like family
