haunted house actor
Attraction fright worker
A haunted house actor is a performer who works at seasonal horror attractions, jumping out to scare visitors or playing monsters, ghosts, and other frightening characters.
The job requires physical stamina and thick skin—actors endure long hours, cramped hiding spots, and occasional punches from startled guests: She worked as a haunted house actor every October through college.
