As guests enter the haunted haven they will feel like a subject of a secret, experimental project that has run amok. Inside looms the doctor and his staff, frantically seeking patients to conduct questioning research on. The Nightmare Experiment is where heart rates increase and terrors in the night begin. Don’t get too close or you may end up in the doctor’s examination room.

To prepare for the upcoming event, SeaWorld San Diego is also looking for scare actors for Howl-O-Scream, San Diego’s newest Halloween nighttime event. Although the event is about two months away, the hiring process for scare actors has already begun. Ideal applicants should possess the ability to portray creepy characters with outlandish costumes, make-up and props. Candidates will be asked to audition and demonstrate their startle scare techniques, eerie character movements, and sinister laughs.
Looming closer each day, Howl-O-Scream will debut in San Diego on September 17 and run through October 31 for 24 select nights, joining the park’s annual family-friendly Halloween Spooktacular during the day. While family-friendly trick-or-treating, hay maze craze, spooky hula hoops, costume parades, and a pumpkin search throughout the park fill fall days; by night the fright seekers will tremble upon entering the three horrifying haunted houses, seven expansive scare zones and unpredictable hordes of nightmarish creatures throughout the park.
Invitation to Scare: Apply to be part of the Scare Squad (No Experience Necessary)
For those who can’t get enough of the haunt life, SeaWorld San Diego is looking for hundreds of enthusiastic performers who will add horror and thrills to the separately ticketed night event.

During the audition, applicants will be asked to participate in improvisational and physicality exercises to demonstrate various elements of scare tactics and showcase their best skills to startle, scare, and make guests scream in terror.
The selected creepy characters must be passionate about Halloween and love to frighten in a fun way. The Scare Squad will spread fear and fun and join our Fear Family by being transformed into characters by world class makeup artists and the park’s costume design team. Interested applicants can secure their audition spot by applying online at https://seaworldauditions.com.
