Bring the Fear to Life at ScareGrounds PDX!

Do you love Halloween? Can you scream on cue, crawl like a creature, or give guests the chills with just a stare? ScareGrounds PDX — Portland’s largest and most terrifying haunted attraction — is hiring Scare Actors for the 2025 Halloween season!

We’re looking for energetic, expressive, and reliable performers to join our cast of monsters, maniacs, and misfits. No acting experience? No problem — if you’re passionate about Halloween and willing to get weird, we’ll train you to terrify.

Responsibilities:

  • Portray a variety of characters in haunted houses, scare zones, or roaming roles.
  • Use body language, voice, props, and timing to deliver scares and create an immersive experience.
  • Take direction from attraction leads and managers to maintain consistency and safety.
  • Stay in character while interacting with guests in a safe and professional manner.
  • Wear costumes, masks, makeup, and prosthetics for long periods of time.
  • Maintain energy and enthusiasm throughout long shifts in dark, foggy, or loud environments.
  • Follow all safety protocols for both performers and guests.

Requirements:

  • Must be at least 16 years old (parental consent required for minors).
  • Must be reliable, punctual, and able to work scheduled shifts without excessive absences.
  • Comfortable working in low-light, foggy, or high-intensity settings.
  • Able to stand, crouch, crawl, or perform physical movement for extended periods.
  • Willingness to wear makeup, masks, and costumes (sometimes in warm conditions).
  • Available to work evenings, weekends, and Halloween night (September–early November).

What We Offer:

  • Paid training and rehearsal time.
  • A fun, supportive, and creative work environment.
  • Complimentary event passes for friends/family.
  • Opportunities for returning roles, featured characters, and growth in future seasons.
  • A chance to be part of one of Portland’s most legendary Halloween experiences!
