Factory of Fear Scare Actor Information Session

Something has escaped.
Deep within the ARTfactory, the secretive AF Laboratories has suffered a catastrophic containment breach, unleashing an unknown threat that has transformed the building into a sprawling, post-apocalyptic nightmare.
This year, all four floors of the ARTfactory become a fully immersive world unlike anything we’ve created before. Guests will navigate abandoned city streets, contaminated laboratories, crumbling industrial spaces, quarantine zones, and the remnants of civilization as they search for a way through the chaos. Every room tells part of the story, and every corner holds the possibility of a terrifying encounter.
If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something immersive, creative, and unforgettable, this is your chance to join the outbreak. Factory of Fear, one of Northern Virginia’s premier haunted attractions, is looking for scare actors to join our cast this Halloween season! As a scare actor, you’ll become one of the survivors, infected, scientists, soldiers, or creatures that bring this world to life. No previous acting or haunt experience is necessary—just enthusiasm, energy, and a willingness to make our guests scream.
If interested, please attend our upcoming Scare Actor Information Session on Tuesday, July 21 at 6:30 PM, at the ARTfactory, 9419 Battle Street, Manassas, VA.
