Scare acting

Have you ever visited a haunted house attraction, go to a theme park during halloween, or have you ever watched any horror movies or plays? Have you ever wanted to scare the living daylights out of someone? 

Now’s your chance. Whether you’re looking to join a haunted attraction, elevate your immersive theatre work, or simply unleash your inner creature of the night, this workshop will arm you with the tools to terrify… ethically, effectively, and with unforgettable impact.

This is horror as craft.
