Halloween Horror Nights 35 Performer Casting

Universal Orlando Resort

United States United States, Orlando
Posted on: Apr. 06, 2026

Description:

Universal has posted auditions for Halloween Horror Nights 35. The details in this listing indicate that they are taking this year s event very seriously. This isn't just a placeholder announcement or a vague hint at something coming later; Universal is actively seeking performers, with a submission deadline of May 31 and rehearsals scheduled to begin in early August.

For fans of Halloween Horror Nights who have been following the news of HHN 35 since the first announcements, this audition posting is a clear sign that Universal is commemorating the 35th anniversary of the event with the careful consideration that such milestone anniversaries inspire.

Universal Orlando Resort is currently seeking Scareactors, animated costumed characters, roller skaters, stilt walkers, and puppeteers to perform at Halloween Horror Nights 35. Scareactors are the performers who work inside haunted houses and scare zones, sometimes embodying specific IP characters and sometimes bringing original characters unique to the HHN universe to life. The specialty performer categories, roller skaters, stilt walkers, and puppeteers, will primarily work in scare zones, though could also appear within haunted houses depending on the year s creative needs.

All candidates must be at least 18 years old and comfortable working in dim or theatrical lighting, with fog effects, and in large-crowd environments. The submission deadline is May 31. Rehearsals are scheduled from early August through late August, with Halloween Horror Nights 35 running on select dates from August 28 through November 1.

The timeline Universal is operating on is a reminder of how much infrastructure goes into building Halloween Horror Nights each year. The event features multiple fully realized haunted houses, scare zones, live entertainment, and an overall atmosphere that requires months of construction, costume fabrication, performer training, and technical rehearsal before the first guest walks through on opening night. Posting auditions in early April for an event that opens in late August is not excessive planning. It is the minimum lead time required to do the event justice. Rehearsals beginning in early August mean performers need to be cast, contracted, and prepared well before that window opens. The May 31 submission deadline gives Universal s casting team roughly two months to review candidates and make selections before the summer preparation phase begins in earnest. Halloween Horror Nights 35 is still nearly five months away. Universal is already fully in motion.
