The Dark Side of Scare Acting at Halloween Horror Nights

[Jerroddragon]

A fun video showing how the event has evolved and at the end gets into what can happen with some guests

Again, I feel the need to point out that Hollywood apparently had it easier with the Art the Clown roaming scareactors as opposed to Orlando where there were issues behind the scenes.

Of course Jake would mention the Spoon Game!!!

I do want to say that the violence against scareactors is not “new.” Fans are more aware of it because of social media now, but “Boo and Skidoo” was part of my training in 2002. One my friends in Screamhouse got punched three times in one night and I had to interrupt a planned ambush on another scareactor.

I think if anything is making it “worst” in the last few years, it’s more the cultural shift that made everyone think they’re entitled to MC energy.

I wish the Spoon game could come back, that sounds so much fun, lol

Yeah, I don't think they were trying to say its new just that now with people trying to go viral its just another reason actors can be attacked

Another great video from Ryan - his content is always great and highly recommend watching his other stuff.

I was a scareactor at a very popular haunt here in PA - obviously not HHN level, but it's one of the most visited haunts in the country. And yeah.. it's an issue everywhere. Some people do it by reflex and they feel bad about it afterwards, but there are definitely others who just want to be a douche.
