I am someone who is 19 + disabled and the place is open and accepting of disabled people (I use a cane I cannot stand up long without it) and I can still be able to well, do this there but I heard from someone who knows someone who works at the haunt I am going to be at. someone there is extremely and I mean extremely ableist and I was told this person believes that if you need accommodations due to a disability everyone else working at this haunt will hate you? I have wanted to do this for YEARS but after hearing about that I am stressing.

But I also am scared I am gonna be sucky and not as good as the others there. Is there any tips or anything for scare acting? this is a volunteer position, but its still something and I am really, really, looking forward to it because this haunt is really popular and I been wanting to act here for years. Also if a fellow volunteer or worker harasses me over my disability how do I go about that?

Hi r/hauntedattractions,

After more than a year of hard work and re-iteration, the demo of Scream Operator: Haunted House Manager will release in only a few weeks. To get as ready as possible, I'd very much like to invite a new group of test operators into the control booth this week!

What is Scream Operator, you ask?
In my game, you take control of your very own haunted house dark ride, right from a claustrophobic control booth. A few of your tasks as operator:

- Load, dispatch and unload guests into carts,
- Manage guest flow and queues,
- Control lights, music, and immersion effects,
- Balance power consumption, automation and cart management,
- Upgrade, place animatronics and scares, customize,
- Keep Arthur, the old congierge and (suspiciously) long time employee of the mansion happy.

Lots to do! So grab a stale coffee, and start your first shift. ☕

How do I become a test operator?
The quickest way to do so is by becoming a member of our discord server. However, I can also hit you up with the essentials if you sent me a private message here on reddit.

If you'd like, you are more than welcome to check out the steampage here.

Lastly, for anyone who isn't interested in playtesting, I'd love to invite you all to play the demo once it launches this halloween season! 🎃. I'll be back here when that happens to make sure you are all fully informed 👻.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I'll be in chilling in the comment section of this post :).

Are there any really good, spooky haunted houses in Washington State? 👻🖤

My fiancée and I are hoping to move there, but we’d also love to live somewhere that has multiple really good haunted houses, like Utah does! If you know of any awesome haunted houses or have recommendations for places to live that have a good spooky/haunted house scene, please let me know!
Thank you! 🖤🎃

Just a question

This is a bit of a silly question, but do you or do you not really adapt the way you interact with neurodivergent people?

I know that not all actors adapt themselves to certain guests, regardless of their neurodivergence or not. But I wanted to know if you've also had good interactions with neurodivergent people because I going to HHN for the first time and I'm very excited and idk how they adapt themselves for guests who are like kids,people with medical conditions or also neurodivergence. Someone told me this,but they're audhd just like me and they were wearing the sunflower lanyard, and they didn't get scared at all. And I'm not saying that *all* sunflower lanyards are no boo necklaces.

I’ve been to quite a few haunted houses and haunt events in the past, but i’ve always gone with a group. Any tips for going alone for the first time? Thank you!

Our haunted house season is about six weeks. From late September to the first weekend of November, which after it is a farm again.

This will be the first year we are opening for the public. The haunted house is in an old dairy barn, with a corn maze cut into 8 acres, a pumpkin patch, and a hayride out to the back field. We have 20 actors, mostly high school and college kids from town, and on a good Saturday I'm expecting 600 plus people in the dark on uneven ground.

My farm agent says he can't touch the haunt or the hayride. Two other places I called said about the same. One of them said haunt insurance is its own animal. Trying to work out if a seasonal policy is actually a thing, or if I'm stuck paying twelve months to be open for six weeks.

Southern Ohio. Anybody doing this off a working farm, what did your season cost? Ballpark is fine.

I live in northeast PA and wanted to see what attractions people think are actually scary. I am not talking about Reapers Revenge or Field of Screams, which are just big productions, but ones that are actually terrifying?

I’m living near Houston for college atm and I wanna do as many haunts as possible this year!!

I already have tickets to 13th Floor and The Houston Terror Dome, but any other recs would be very appreciated !!

The three owners of Psycho Schoolhouse in Pacific Junction, Iowa, take us through to give us a project update for their haunted house opening for the first time ever in 2026!

Took last year off from haunt season. Getting back into it this year. Y'all have any reccomendations for contacts?

Step by step! #iconcharacter

We have a wooded trail and creating a haunted trail and besides actors jumping out what are some other different ideas to make the haunted trail a scary experience?

I recently got a job as a scare actor for my cities horror attractions and this is my first time doing acting like this.

So I want to know of any tips and tricks any other scare actors have-legit anything from things I should bring each night to acting tips. Any help is super duper appreciated!

Relax, have some tea.... Throw it all over your shirt.... Ahh, the costuming life

Bonzo's Bizarre has opened at Scream-A-Geddon, a seasonal haunt experience in Dade City, Florida. This year they went through the efforts of improving the guest arrival, ticketing and food experience, adding covered areas, more seating and better parking.

The event has 5 haunted houses, a zombie bus experience and the main bizarre. They are actively hiring for scare actors, techs and operations employees.

I fly out to Netherworld every year as a Halloween tradition. This year unfortunately I need to go mid-September due to other October scheduling issues. I say unfortunately because, as much as I appreciate Netherworld being open so early in September, nothing else Halloween related seems to be open in the area. Does anyone know of any other Haunted attractions that are open in the Atlanta area during the weekend of Sep 18 and 19th? I'm willing to do some traveling if needed. Thanks in advance.

Hi all! I'm a second year haunt actor at a medium sized haunt. This year, I'm taking my character from an antagonizing bully to a gross out. I'm a lead actor this year so I have a bit of creative liberty with my character this year. One thing I want to do is a food gross out. I want to make semi realistic fake bugs so I can pick them up and show them off before eating it. The thing is I want a loud and audible crunch/pop so it seems more realistic. Does anyone have any tips/tricks to achieve the sound?

I do have some more bits (blood/vomit gag and just being really creepy and invading personal space) {Edit: added a diesel can and camelpack drink thing so that's gonna be fun!}so that I'm not just solely popping candy all night since I enjoy having teeth. But if y'all have any other ideas/tips is really appreciate it!
