What is the pay rate for howl-o-scream perfermers? (haunted houses, outside area, etc.)

Question

I was thinking of maybe auditioning for this year's Howl-O-Scream, and I was jsut wondering how much they pay (if you've been a part of it before your knowledge would be very helpful! lol)? I've seen the Busch Gardens pay rates page on their websites but it doesn't mention howl-o-scream.

Also, what are they called? Like to be in the haunted house or part of the show, what do they call you there? thxxxx :)

Answer 1

It's something you do more out of love than for pay, and the admiration of you peer scarers if you can manage to make a guest pee themselves.

Answer 2

look on the website and send someone an e-mail. I heard they don't pay and it's volunteers and then I heard they DO PAY. so If they do pay it's probably minimum wage b/c haunted houses in general are HELLA EXPENSIVE and you do it for the love of it, not to get rich. Most of the money/expenses is insurance, paying people (electrician, set designer, seamstress for custom made costumes, animatronics,  and then the owner needs to get something for putting the event on) Some places will give a $50 100, etc prize to whoever did the best job that night and everyone might go out to eat (or owner might pay for that)

good luck, it never hurts to ask
