Universal is also hiring actors for Halloween Horror Nights. Candidates must be 4’10” to 6’3″ in height and comfortable working in dim or theatrical lighting, fog effects, and in large crowds. This is probably for actors inside the haunted houses, which could be a LOT of fun for someone looking to scare folks during the Halloween season. Rehearsals are from early August to late August.
