Employment
We are always looking for a few good ghosts.
You must be at least 16 years old to get paid to work. You can volunteer if you are at least 15, but can only do so only with your parent’s permission. Like most actors, our workers are independent contractors and are paid by the performance. Unless you have worked with us before, you will be required to come in and try out for a role in the haunted house production. We don’t cast anyone before we have had a chance to see how you perform in front of a live audience.
The performance standards are raised each year at The 13th Door and having performed in a past production is not a guarantee that you will be cast this year. We are looking for actors that are willing to "give it all" to get a scare – while showing a minimum level of maturity and reliability. The safety of our actors and patrons is very important to us, we want to know that you will be capable of performing every night and with a little direction, that you will improve.
There are two forms you will need to fill out prior to your try out. You can download them here and print them out to bring with you to one of our open haunted house casting calls (Sept. 4th and Sept. 18). If you can’t make it to one of those try outs, contact KathE by email.

Hello!
MY name is Austin Preister, and I was wondering if I could come scare for you this Halloween season. I have worked the House of Fear for the past three years, and I have extensive experience with prosthetic makeup and facial appliances. I have been running a haunted house at our home in Parker for the past five years. Please let me know if it would be possible to acquire a position with The 13th Door. I will look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you so much,
Austin Preister
Hello, my names Mark and i was wondering about scaring here at the 13th door this year. I have alot of experience in this field i worked at reinke brothers for 2 years and im ready to do a bit more extreme scaring. Of course Ive only heard how extreme this place is so if you could give me some info on how i can be a part of this that would be fantastic. Thank you.
Hey Steve and Kathe, A couple of years ago while I was working on a permanent festival site we discussed a haunted village. Well I just recently sorted out how to get the land and some basic investment and we are busily building out our business plans and securing cash flows to get it going. As we are at the stage of doing mock ups with the Architectural firm and layouts for basic effects with a super secret source (A senior imagination-engineer at the world’s most popular theme park) I was wondering if you are still on board. I am fully aware that the haunts at both Screams and Knotts Berry Farm account, in one month, for about half of both sites annual income, so a Haunt is imperative. And if we are going to build something that can eventually be on par with those site I need the best folks in on it, and that is of course you guys. At the rate things are progressing the first Village Haunt would be in 2011, I want to get your input now though so that the building and the layouts are complimentary to your efforts.
Hi Im Chris Larson and I will be a senior in high school this next year. Anyways, I wanted to contact you as I have been looking for a job and thought since Halloween is right around the corner I could look for possibilities in the Halloween field. So I wanted to write you to see if you could please send me the information necessary for all employees and let me know if you could use me this year. Thank you so much for your help and I hope to be one of your scary actors this upcoming Halloween season! Thanks again.
