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.

Is there a minimum age limit to come to this Haunted House?
We don’t make age restrictions. If you are mature enough to like to be scared, we will scare you.
Hello,
I was wondering if your haunted house was ADA accessible? If not, do you happen to know of any other haunted houses that are? Thanks so much!
Honestly, the story is just an excuse to scare you.
The Haunted House and Curse of Slaughterhouse Gulch are both ADA compliant. The 13th Door is accessible for the handicapped, but you can’t do it in a wheelchair. There are steps and slanted rooms that make that a challenge.
The Littleton Zombie Crawl will begin at Adventures in Dance in the Woodlawn center. Please add the link http://www.adventuresindance.com for the convenience of the zombies.

Hey, my name is Ashley, and I’m a student at CU and I have experience working at a haunted attraction at Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. It was the best job I have ever had and I would love to do the same here in Colorado. So if there are any open jobs available, please send me an email, I would love to be a part of your scare team.
Thanks so much,
Ashley

Hello,
My name is Alyssa Perez and I am about to enter my senior and final year in high school. I have long wanted to be a part of a Haunt team, whether it be setting up, tearing down, makeup, costume, or acting. I must be honest and say that altough I have only acted in an elementary school play, I have had requests by friends and family to pursue a more theatrical career.
As the Halloween season approaches, I find myself longing to participate in a Haunted House business. I have some expirience with makeup with whatever I can get my hands on. (I do have pictures, but I would also be willing to train if I must.)
I know you look for talented and expirienced workers in all fields, but this is something I would like to pursue and I would be willing to participate in any field you believe would work for me. I am willing to train for any position if that is required. For example, if I must take classes on makeup and costume, or spend a few days training for set up or tear down or practice making my voice last through the night I will do it. I will admit that I do have a bit of a fear of auditioning, I am willing to do it if i must.
I am 5’4″ and will be 18 September 29th of this year. I do have my own transportation.
Please consider me for anything that might be available.
Thank you,
Alyssa Perez

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.
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.

Hello!
