Are You Scary?

"Haunted Houses" Halloween attractions are having trouble finding enough actors to scare the paying customers. That never occurred to me. We have one not far from here, but I've never gone to it. The idea of scaring or being scared doesn't appeal to me.

I work as a scare actor and yes we're all having trouble finding enough people.
It's not something that one does for the money though since it's lower paying than fast food which is why we are all short handed.

Could it be that it may be required for the scare actor to be "short handed"?

I can see how someone would enjoy doing that. I'm not the type, though.

I saw exactly that in a Norwegian movie last night! A guy got half his hand shot off.

A point of contention that led to my second divorce was that I did not want any horror movies displayed on my TV. I still feel that evil vibes are to be avoided if possible. Of course, recent politics has made that much harder.
