Fear Columbus Application

Employee Application: Performance

Please fill out the form below to be considered for a job with us!
You are applying to be a Performer. Our performance team works in the actual attractions...and we pay you to scare people (pretty sweet)! Your job is to work in your scene bringing thrills and chills to all our guests. Costumes, Masks, Props, and Makeup are all provided for you. We run our shows off speaker scares that are individually tailored to you room and involve a sound and light show just for you! This setup saves your voice and allows you to put on a crazy show with very minimal effort. This is a super fun and unique job with an already awesome crew and we would love for you to be a part of it!
PLEASE NOTE: Applicants must be at least 16 years old and live in the Columbus, Ohio area to be considered. We typically review applications before upcoming off season events as well as right before Haunt Season. If you don't hear back right away, please don't be discouraged! We have received your application and will be in touch before an event or the season. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to connecting!

The attractions are designed to make things as easy for you as possible, but there is definitely a physicality element to it. For Nightmare Combat, you will need to be able to be on your feet for a little more than 6 hours at a time.

Are you able to wear the following masks? Select all that apply. *

Half Mask (does not fully cover the head but does cover the full face. Includes eye holes and mouth and/or nose holes) Full Mask (fully covers the head and face, usually but not always made out of latex. Includes eye holes and/or nose holes) Silicone Mask (fully covers the head, face, and usually neck. The most realistic as it molds to the face. A little heavier material, but still includes eye and mouth and/or nose holes.)
If you are not able to work in a certain environment or unable to wear any of the masks, please briefly explain why.
This is so we can get a feel for what scenes and/or masks would work best for you.

Yes No
If yes to these or any allergies, please list them below.
Just to make sure we don't put any makeup on you that will send you into anaphylactic shock.

So we don't place you in a scene where you're terrified for your life :)

Another Note :)

We are currently hiring for our summer event, Nightmare Combat. Getting hired for this event makes you part of the team and eligible for all future events with us as well as the Halloween Season. The Nightmare Combat dates and hours are available below. It is important to note that the times listed with them do not include call times. We ask performance to get here 2 hours prior to open in order to get ready but can be somewhat flexible if you're coming from a prior committment like school or another job. You do get paid for this time!

This is a timed ticketing event so we will not sell tickets past the end time. However, it is also important to note that we stay in scenes until the last guest has gone through yours. You will be dismissed behind the last guests which is usually about 30 minutes after doors close.
