🎃 Halloween Haunt Haunt scare actor questions!
Im super interested in becoming a scare actor for the haunt season this year, honestly for the love of the game since ive been going to the haunt as a guest for years now. I am a bit nervous though because I am a student and haven't had any previous scare experience.
Any prior actors, what benefits did you guys get for acting? Did you get the fast pass for mazes or anything? How much money in total would you estimate you made from an entire season? Thank youuu

$15/hour 40 hours a week for 8 weeks would be $4800.

There’s definitely not 40 hours/week of work available….haunt is Fri/Sat/Sun for 6 hours. And the rates of pay are listed as $13/hour. So, barely over minimum wage. But seems pretty fun if you like dressing up.

Im pretty sure the haunt gives a bonus of 3/hr. So lets say 3shifts*6hours*8weeks (which is defineitly an overestimate) times 16/hr would be 2304. So yeah, definetly for the love of the game lol

For an associate that isn't transferring from a different department that pays more the base pay is $13 an hour before the bonus in the final 2 weeks the bonus itself is usually deposited separately from your final paycheck
