If you've always dreamed of being a chainsaw-wielding clown manic, scareactor auditions are being held next week, Monday, July 26th at 5pm and Wednesday, July 28th at 10am at the Globe Theatre at Universal Studios Hollywood. They're looking for stilt walkers and scareactors, plus actors for the Bill and Ted Stunt show. 


And if you're in Florida, auditions for HHN Orlando are going on now.


Once people start getting hired to work in a particular maze, it's hard to keep the themes and names secret, so we hope this means that maze information will be released soon.  

KSF 2010: L.A. Times Preview

The LA Times has an article about Knott’s Scary Farm’s 2010 mazes and Scare Zones. It also ranks what they believe are the best, rest, and worst mazes coming back. Scare Zone will have to disagree with some of their rankings such as cronstalkers which isn't one of the worst and The Salughterhouse which isn't one of the best.

The thing with Knott's, like other haunts, is one's expereince in a maze and the scare factor can vary greatly depending on when they go. That is why we reccomend going to haunts earlier in the season when the talent is fresh or during weeknights. Opening weekends can be fun but then you must keep in mind that the scareactors are still learning what scares really work on their victims.
