The Opportunity

Your nightmare job

Work alongside makeup artists, set designers and fellow performers on a cinematic horror production, and terrify thousands of visitors over the season.

The core roles are scare actors on the trail. Beyond acting, the production involves makeup, set design and guest relations, so if you are a creative person who wants hands-on experience in live performance and a supportive, safety-first team, this is a rare seasonal gig in Greenville County. Expect to build friendships, learn real skills and be part of a trusted local production.
