On Wednesday, Sept. 6, Fantasy Island will host open auditions for "Scare Actors" who will frighten and entertain guests during "Halloween Horror," the park's new "family-by-day, fright-by-night" event.
Auditions will take place from 5-7:30 p.m. at the park, located at 2400 Grand Island Blvd, Grand Island. Participants will perform their best renditions of several characters - including a creepy clown, a vicious vampire and an undead zombie hungry for brains! Once cast, scare actors will enroll in "Ghoul School," a training class provided by the park to refine their "scare skills" prior to the event.
"We're extremely excited to debut 'Halloween Horror,' " General Manager Chris Kearsing said. "For this event to succeed, we need people with the right 'scare skills.' "
"Halloween Horror" will include family-friendly activities during the day, including a trick-or-treat trail, pumpkin painting and a haybale maze; and frightful offerings in the evening, including a haunted maze and three scare zones.
"Halloween Horror" will debut Sept. 30, and run Saturdays and Sundays through the end of the park's operating season on Oct. 29. Admission to the event is included with a season pass or can be purchased as a one-day ticket at
