Volunteer Roles

PERFORMING SCARER
If your business, organization, or friend group wants to create a scene, that's excellent- performing scarers are the lifeblood of this event. However, beyond groups signing up, you as an individual can sign up, and we can create scenes for you to be a part of, or you can be a roaming scarer.

NON-PERFORMING SCARER
As vital as the performers in make-up, costumes, and fake blood are, the non-performing scarers are just as critical. Think of these as the "crew" of a theatrical performance. These are people who trigger fog machines, or lights and sound, or make a thunder boom to distract- we don't need as many, but we need about a dozen people in these roles.

RIDE SUPPORT
This can include being the ride monitor (we send a volunteer in each wagon to ensure everyone’s safety), assisting people on and off the wagon, and managing crowd control for those waiting in line.

SELLING TICKETS/CONCESSIONS
We're still deciding whether to offer our own concessions or hire food trucks. However, we will need ticket sellers and potentially other non-scary volunteers to perform regular event duties.

SECURITY/SAFETY
This is niche, but we like to have 5-6 people over the two nights roaming between scenes, usually on golf carts or four-wheelers, checking on performers, doing ride-throughs in the parking area, and being available should someone get too scared and need a ride back, or if a performer trips and needs basic first aid, etc.

BUILDERS
The event is Friday and Saturday, 10/23 and 10/24, 2026, but we have set up days/afternoons on Wednesday and Thursday that week. These builders can help build simple rough construction, though we don't know quite what we need until we know the scenes. In the past, items that were needed included plywood freestanding walls to hide behind, scarecrow mounts, coffins, and portable steps to get in and out of the wagons, among other things.
