28 problems only Halloween Horror Nights scare actors understand

By on Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 7:06 pm

Without a doubt, one of the best things about Orlando this time of year is Universal's Halloween Horror Nights. It's hard work creating one of the world's best haunts– just ask the hundreds of local scare actors that sweat it out on a nightly basis. It's a tough job. Scare actors have to deal with weird hours, drunk and unruly guests, YOLO teens, you name it. So, be nice to these guys!
