I really wanted to audition next year since I'll be moving closer to Universal but I've dealt with enough work chaos to know that this may make me think twice. I have even more love and appreciation for the scareactors now because along with the general struggles of the maze (exhaustion, heatstroke, unruly guests) you face even more crap behind the scenes! I really hope Universal pulls it together this year and those awful supervisors get fired. Well, like I said, my worst year was a friend's favorite year. So much so he didn't want to go back because he didn't want to spoil the way he remembered it. Everyone's experience varies. Still don't regret doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal drama is the one thing you can't run away from but it still doesn't warrant not trying out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESKER69 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 *cough* I'm back from the dead... Oh yea, I also auditioned for HHN this year... Audition was July 6th (2pm).... Made the cut & got a "golden ticket" for John Murdy's Horror Factory STILL haven't gotten a casting email yet, but also have NOT gotten the "You're not cast" email. So with the event being only 32 days away.. I'm trying NOT to lose hope, but um.... yea Part of me has been tempted to just apply for Maze Host. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week and next next week are going to be the longest weeks of my life since my orientation/scare academy is on the same date which is on the 26th. Can't wait to see where you guys will be at this year. Il make sure I report back and let you guys know where I'm at as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've officially lost hope. yep... I know how you feel. I still haven't gotten a "cast" or "not cast" email either. Its very frustrating, especially when you work another job & also kinda need to know if you'll need to buy tickets for the event or not (even if only for opening weekend).

I suspect I will be a terror tram chainsaw cause saw went well for me last year, but I really have no idea, just my hopeful guess and there will be many less chainsaws this year so I hope I get a saw again!

I asked for scarezone 1 chainsaw, but this year there are far less chainsaws and quite a few less in zone 1 so I figured I wouldn't get the spot and veterans would, but I was hopeful I did well enough with the chainsaw last year that they'd want to give me one again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokedSlayer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Got placed in pool, im a bit confused on why becasue im 6'2 and at orientation scott said he is still looking for 6'0 and above scareactors. Was it just random placement? Also anyone have experience in pool? what its all about and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the tall scare actors dropout, the tall scare actors from pool will take their role and then more scare actors will get hired in pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days, not so much. Luckily for you, Alien Vs. Predator is gone because they had some short people filling the Alien role and apparently that was the worst costume of all time. You'll probably get placed in interesting roles every night and eventually get placed permanently when a spot opens up. And they put people in pool automatically for the specific reason of knowing others will drop out or call out every day so you're the back up. Doesn't necessarily mean you're bad, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
