Blackpool Pleasure Beach is world renowned for providing it’s visitors with thrills via its many rides and attractions but now the park is on the lookout for actors to provide the scares themselves. An open audition is set to take place on Sunday 18th October to find actors to play zombies and other Halloween characters at the park’s Halloween event, Vampire Pleasure Beach.
Auditions will take place in the Globe Theatre, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, from 3pm on Sunday 18th October in front of a judging panel. Those who give the creepiest, scariest performances during the auditions will be invited to use their horrific skills to entertain visitors to the park on October 31st.
From the auditions, the 50 most frightful hopefuls will be selected to be part of the scare cast at Vampire Pleasure Beach. The best six performers will also be invited to receive additional training from the team at Pasaje Del Terror and will act as team leaders on the night.
