Job description

Description:

We are seeking an organized, level-headed, and experienced individual to join our team as Haunt Lead 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 Haunt Lead, you will serve as the on-site leader during operating hours — coordinating cast and crew, keeping every attraction running smoothly, and stepping in wherever you're needed most.


This is a temporary, seasonal leadership position ideal for someone with prior haunted attraction, live event, or theatrical production experience who thrives on keeping a fast-paced operation organized and safe.

Requirements:

Responsibilities and Duties

  • Serve as the on-site leader for haunted attraction operations during each shift
  • Oversee and coordinate Haunted Actors, Narrators, and other haunt staff throughout the evening
  • Conduct pre-shift briefings, costume and makeup checks, and safety walkthroughs before doors open
  • Monitor scene pacing, guest flow, and overall show quality across all attractions
  • Serve as the first point of contact for staff concerns, injuries, or equipment issues during a shift
  • Step into any performer, narrator, or staff role as needed to cover call-offs or gaps
  • Enforce all safety protocols, guest-interaction boundaries, and emergency procedures
  • Communicate real-time updates and issues to the Haunt Manager
  • Assist with opening and closing procedures for haunted attraction zones
  • Support the training of new cast and crew members alongside the Haunt Manager
  • Complete shift reports and incident documentation as needed

Education, Skills & Knowledge

  • Must be 18 years of age or older
  • Prior experience in a haunted attraction, live event, or theatrical production setting preferred
  • Demonstrated leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to remain calm and make quick decisions in a high-energy, fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication skills to coordinate across cast, crew, and management
  • Comfortable providing direction and feedback to staff
  • Ability to commit to the full September–October season, including all Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, plus pre-season setup and training days
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional — attendance is critical to our team's success
  • Physically able to walk extensively across the property and remain on your feet for the full shift duration

Working Conditions

  • Ability to work outdoors and in indoor haunted environments in varying weather conditions
  • Ability to move continuously between attractions and remain on your feet for multiple hours per shift
  • Tolerance for strobe lights, fog machines, loud sound effects, and other special effects
  • Comfort resolving issues and making decisions in high-energy, fast-paced, guest-facing situations

Availability Requirements

Candidates must be available to work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening throughout the entire September and October season, and should expect shifts to run from early evening through late-night hours. In addition to event nights, this role requires availability for pre-season setup, staff training, and periodic weekday planning meetings leading up to and during the season. Specific shift times will be communicated prior to the season start.
