ACTING ROLES
13th Floor Haunted House is a world-famous haunted attraction and therefore we need talented scare actors to entertain our guests every show night!
Actors and actresses work in and around the haunted house performing for visitors. The acting departments include the scare actors inside the haunted house attractions and the Lot Monster team that entertains visitors white they wait in line to enter the show.
Interested performers must apply online! No experience required; however, acting roles require a very high level of energy, stamina, and a positive attitude.
Candidates with full availability or close to it are more likely to be selected due to our busy schedule. Positions will be filled on a first-come, first-considered basis – meaning that you have a better chance of getting a role by applying earlier. Video auditions and interviews may be held to maintain social distancing.
YOU MUST APPLY ONLINE: WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY WALKUP AUDITIONS OR INTERVIEWS. Positions will be filled on a first-come, first-considered basis – meaning that you have a better chance of getting a role by applying earlier on.
