Scare Actor Application

Scuttle around in full costume on the festival grounds to spook the guests. Jump scares are welcome, but do not be physically violent. Do not touch patrons unless it is as mundane as a tap on the shoulder. Do not scare or bother people who obviously are bothered (in not a fun way). Do not scare people WITHIN vendor booths - only isles and in the field. There will be a haunted trail through the woods at this event that will open later in the evening! We will also be offering a "Night Terrors" event for people camping in a certain area on Saturday night, where actors can mess with them at their campsite (appropriate physical contact for scaring purposes is consented).
