XD005 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Well Universal certainly knows how to give you bad anxiety, lol. I still haven't gotten an email and I keep replaying the audition in my head and finding things that I know I should have done better. Argh. Congrats to the people that made it though.

ZackT Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 There probably won't be any more coming out this weekend - there's usually several days between castings. Don't lose hope until you get a rejection e-mail. You are considered throughout the run and I know a lot of people that are brought in later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Good to know that there's a rejection email. If I don't get cast I won't feel too bad either to be honest. There's a lot of returning loyal scareactors who have proven to be worthy over the years and it is near Hollywood so you have a lot of people with acting experience.

I wasn't hired until after the first weekend of HHN. Sucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitsoul Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Screams, how stressful. But, yeah, even with applying for work at daytime USH, they always send a rejection letter. Unlike a lot of other places that you'd think would be more professional about the job application process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespianfish Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hey y'all, new hire guy here for Horror Nights, coming over from having done Fright Fest for a few years. Quick question, does anyone know when they would specify if you are cast as a regular scare actor or a stilt walker? I auditioned and noted my stilt experience and passed thru the stilt test, abut all my hiring stuff has been saying scareactor, but hasn't shown that there would a separate thing for stilt walkers as well. If anyone has any info, would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespianfish Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Already did initial paperwork with a large group. Got a sheet with a pay rate but it did all seem like general info still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurseddragon Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The paperwork seemed like it was general so far. Maybe stilt walkers haven't been casted yet? Idk how it works. But the pay was raised a whole 15 cents. Woop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackT Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was under the impression that stilts received a higher pay but I could be misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsik_22 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Stilt walkers do make more than 11.50. I believe first year stilt scareactors get 14.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD005 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) So, has anyone else received an email? I'm still waiting for word back. I imagine round-2 will go out this weekend. Edited August 9, 2014 by XD005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I got a round two email. Paperwork signups are down to a pretty select few spots, so I think they are down to the last few. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could be wrong. Aww, this is lookling pretty grim for me. I guess there is always next year. Oh well, I actually called not too long ago and the lady said that final castings will be coming in the following week.
