Join the Scare Squad at Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld San Diego! San Diego’s largest nighttime Halloween experience.
We're on the hunt for energetic, reliable, and wildly creative performers who can deliver serious scares and keep the screams coming all night long! Ideal candidates are agile, have strong, expressive voices, and thrive in high-energy environments. You'll be running, jumping, crawling, crouching, and unleashing terrifying growls, screams, and eerie lines—all while fully immersed in character. Roles may require working in low-light or enclosed spaces, with special effects like fog, strobe lights, and creepy soundscapes. You might wear full make up, or head masks, and spend time outdoors—but hey, that’s all part of the fun. Acting experience or previous experience is a plus, but passion and a willingness to perform are what matter most. Must be at least 18 to apply. Ready to bring nightmares to life?
Join an award-winning scare event team and receive benefits with invitation access to employee previews, discounts and life long bonds with the SeaWorld Entertainment Community.
