Q. What is the audition process?
You will have our basic setting and expectations explained, then given an opportunity to show us your best interpretation.
When you arrive you’ll sign in and fill out some brief paperwork. Then groups of about 2-6 people will be taken back into the show to perform three types of scares.
We will show you the basic types of scares and then give you the opportunity to try them. An overview of the types of scares and how to perform them will be given.
You will then be informed when call backs will happen. When you are done, you are free to ask any questions and we will do our best to answer them.

All we ask is that you wear black or dark comfortable clothing.
