Beckman Heritage Farms is looking for a dependable, experienced and hospitality-minded leader to take a hands-on role in Haunted Hollow for the 2026 season.
This is a leadership position ā not a scare-actor position. Separate hiring for scare actors and seasonal support staff will take place in September.
What Youāll Do

* Lead actor training, walkthroughs and rehearsals
* Manage attendance, assignments, breaks and call-offs

October: Every Friday and Saturday night, approximately 4:30/5 PMā12:30 AM. Availability for all operating nights is required.
Who Weāre Looking For
Dependability is essential. This position requires someone who will make a firm commitment to the season, arrive on time, communicate consistently, follow through and confidently take charge when needed.
Preferred candidates will have demonstrated experience leading and supervising people, scheduling staff and managing day-to-day operations.
Experience in hospitality, event management, theater, live entertainment, haunted attractions or similar guest-facing operations is strongly preferred.
Haunted-attraction experience is not required for an otherwise qualified candidate with strong leadership and management experience.
An enthusiasm for Halloween, haunted attractions and creating memorable experiences is a definite plus.
Working Conditions
* Primarily outdoors in varying fall weather and temperatures
* Work takes place after dark with limited lighting
* Frequent walking and standing for extended periods
* Uneven terrain, grass, trails and natural outdoor surfaces
