Job Description

Job Summary Join our team as a Seasonal SFX Makeup Artist for our haunted trail experience! In this fast-paced, creative role, you will work directly with our Lead SFX Artist (Joh) to bring our cast of haunt actors to life using speed-makeup techniques, airbrushing, blood/gore application, and prosthetics. After actors hit the trail, you will transition to assist in running the event (either on-trail acting, queue line entertainment, or operational staff support). This is a great seasonal role for theatrical makeup students, horror enthusiasts, airbrush artists, or freelance SFX talent looking for paid October/fall work. Key Responsibilities Apply rapid-fire special effects makeup, character designs, blood effects, scars, and prosthetics to trail actors during pre-show call times. Maintain a clean, sanitary work station and follow hygienic application standards for all products and tools. Work collaboratively with our Lead SFX Artist to follow established character style guides and ensure consistent, high-quality character looks. Assist with minor costume adjustments, mask fitting, and hair styling/distressing to complete actor transformations. Transition after makeup call into secondary event support duties (acting, queue management, or general staff support) for the duration of the operational night. Qualifications & Requirements SFX /
