PERFORMING STYLES
The Creepy Cottage, Horrorwood Haunted Hayride, The Cellar, Hell-ements, The Chop Shop , The Coven of 13, Wastelands Penitentiary, Electrick Circus, Doom Town & THREE BRAND NEW ATTRACTIONS FOR 2024.
There are 11 attractions and a Street Theatre team at Shocktober Fest, all with different styles of performance. The Cellar for instance requires very physical performers who can respond and adapt quickly to the ever changing environment within a high impact maze, whereas the Haunted Hayride needs actors with great improvisation skills and can interact and engage with the up-close audience.
It’s hard work, and on some of the attractions it’s also cold and wet. You may be working outdoors, but shelter is always nearby.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The designs of the attraction spaces mean that we only have limited scope for people with certain mobility restrictions. However, still contact us and let us know the requirements you may have for auditions or if you were to be offered a position, and we will try our hardest to realise a solution so that you can perform if you pass the audition stage.
