Terror Behind the Walls is one of the top ranked haunted houses in the nation, so, of course, we want top notch actors entertaining our visitors!
Actors and actresses work within the seven haunted attractions that comprise TBTW, including The Gauntlet, Lock Down, Infirmary, The Experiment, Night Watch, Detritus, and the Street Team that entertains visitors outside penitentiary walls before they enter the property.
Interested actors and actresses must attend a group audition where they’ll get a chance to show off their scaring skills! No experience required; however, acting roles require a very high level of energy, stamina, and positive attitude.
