If you build it, they will scream

Stocker Farms in Snohomish is seeking people “who like to show off their scary personalities” for its annual Haunted Field of Screams.

The farm known for its corn maze and other Halloween-time activities is seeking actors to scare visitors with a variety of demented and ghoulish characters.

“There is a unique niche of our population that lives for this,” farm owner Keith Stocker said. “They thrive on the art of the scare.”

Auditions are required. The jobs are paid.

To pitch your character and fear-inducing factor, contact Alexandra Clark with Last Leaf Productions as soon as possible at lastleafalex @verizon.net.
