Become a Part of the Madness

July. That's when auditions are. Because ex Howl-O-Scream workers can't stand to wait any longer.

July is actually the auditions for those who have worked Howl-O-Scream before, but anyone can go. The early dates are only advertised to us, so we get first dibs on what positions we want to work. FYI- I'll be in Masters and Monsters again next year.

The regular auditions run from August through the beginning of October.

Now, I know you're thinking, "Audition? I don't know if I can do that."



Trust me. You can.

Here's what it entails:
- Doing bullshit paperwork
- Signing more papers, yaddayadda
- ACTING LIKE A FOOL

You audition in groups of ten in this large, spacious room. There is a panel of people at one end watching and taking notes.

What do you have to do you ask?

Walk like a zombie. Dig a grave. Turn into a werewolf. Pretend like someone is following you. Pretend that half of your body is limp.

Everyone does it together. People are screaming, falling on the ground foaming at the mouths. You know, this is normal for them.

I generally am not quite SO open about being a freak. So, it may feel a little weird, but once you watch the crazy guy next to you rolling around on the ground ripping off his shirt, you feel a lot better about yourself.



The next part of the audition is working with a wall. The wall looks like one you would find in a haunted house. There are drop doors to open, holes to poke out from and more hidden spaces meant to scare from.

Everyone is assigned a spot and must scare the guy that walks by.

After you are done with that, you find out what position you will be in.

Basically everyone who auditions gets a part. You just have to loosen up a little. Just a little.

It'll be good for you.

I'll see you there!
