Haunted House Decor Specialists focus on decorating entire haunted spaces, combining props with overall design themes. While their skills overlap, props are individual items, whereas decor specialists handle comprehensive design projects.

What are Haunted Props?

Haunted props are items and decorations designed to create a spooky or frightening atmosphere, often used in haunted houses, Halloween events, theater productions, or horror-themed attractions. These props can include animatronics, fake body parts, sound effects, fog machines, and other special effects that enhance the eerie experience. Haunted props are popular with both professional event organizers and individuals decorating their homes for Halloween. They range from simple DIY items to elaborate, high-tech creations. Using haunted props is an effective way to set the mood and thrill guests or audiences.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in the haunted props industry, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in the haunted props industry often face challenges such as tight deadlines during peak seasons (like Halloween), the need for creative problem-solving when designing or repairing props, and ensuring safety standards are met for both users and guests. Collaboration with scenic designers, electricians, and performers is crucial to create immersive experiences. Staying current with new materials and technology also helps in crafting more durable and realistic props, which can set you apart in the industry.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Haunted Props Specialist, and why are they important?

To excel as a Haunted Props Specialist, a strong background in theatrical design, special effects, and hands-on craftsmanship is essential, often supported by experience in set construction or prop fabrication. Familiarity with tools such as power saws, airbrushes, animatronic systems, and knowledge of safety standards is typically required. Creativity, problem-solving, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills for creating immersive and safe haunted attractions. These abilities ensure the production of high-quality, realistic props that enhance the overall guest experience and operational safety.

Fear Farm is now hiring General Labor Crew members to support our 2026 build, preparation, and event season. This is a hands-on, temporary role ideal for individuals who enjoy physical work, collaborative environments, and being part of a large-scale live event.

Position: General Labor – Event Setup, Build & Preparation
Location: Fear Farm (on-site)
Season Dates: May 15 – August 30
Schedule: Monday – Friday, typically 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM (with flexibility on extremely hot days)


Position Summary
This role supports the build, preparation, and ongoing development of our haunted attraction and event site. Work is fast-paced, collaborative, and physically demanding, involving manual labor, scenic construction, custom fabrication, and the safe use of tools and equipment. Hours are project-based and may vary depending on timelines, operational needs, and weather conditions.

We’re building a versatile team—you do not need experience in every area to apply. If you’re reliable, safety-minded, and willing to learn, we want you on board.


Key Responsibilities

Event Build & Setup (Primary Focus):

  • Assist with construction, assembly, and installation of scenic elements, props, and event infrastructure.

  • Build and install immersive environments and themed attractions.

  • Load, unload, move, and organize materials, tools, and equipment.

Manual Labor & Site Operations:

  • Perform physical labor including lifting, carrying, staging, and positioning materials (up to 50 lbs).

  • Maintain clean, organized, and hazard-free work areas.

  • Support daily site readiness and operational setup needs.

Tools, Equipment & Safety:

  • Safely operate hand tools, power tools, and basic equipment as trained.

  • Follow all safety procedures and supervisor direction.

  • Contribute to a culture of safety and accountability on site.

Collaboration & Execution:

  • Work closely with supervisors, carpenters, scenic artists, and operations teams.

  • Execute tasks efficiently under tight deadlines and evolving priorities.

Off-Season Preparation & Maintenance:

  • Clean, inspect, repair, and organize event equipment (tents, tables, AV, props, signage, etc.).

  • Assist with storage organization, inventory tracking, and trailer loading/unloading.

  • Perform basic groundskeeping (mowing, debris clearing, light landscaping).

  • Support minor repairs and touch-up work on site infrastructure.

What We’re Looking For

  • Must be 18 years or older.

  • Reliable, punctual, and strong work ethic.

  • Comfortable performing physical labor and working outdoors in varying weather conditions.

  • Ability to follow instructions and work effectively on a team.

  • Willingness to learn tools, equipment, and build techniques.

  • Previous experience in construction, general labor, events, or haunted attractions is a plus, but not required.

Position Details

  • Temporary/seasonal role with project-based hours.

  • Consistent weekday schedule during primary build season (May–August).

  • Additional hours, weekends, or seasonal work may be available based on event needs.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay.

  • Consistent daytime schedule with heat-related flexibility.

  • Hands-on experience in large-scale event production.

  • A unique, creative, and fast-paced work environment.
