What's it like to be a professional spook?

If you’ve visited a fright night or haunted house, you’ve probably come across a scare actor.

Long hours and gruelling makeup regimens are just two of the things scare actors deal with, and many train for years to perfect their skills. Truth be told, there’s a science to scaring, and passionate folks like Andrew put in a lot of work to give you a realistic experience. ‘Each Halloween I’m faced with a new venue, story and team which is great. For example, this year, at The Bunker Below, I’m fortunate enough to work in the South East’s biggest and deepest ex-government bunker – it’s amazing. As an actor, having a historic setting like that as my backdrop is hugely inspirational.‘We’re taught how to move like different creatures, including zombies and ghouls for example, alongside how to make sounds that genuinely sound like the undead.

‘Then, I’ll have my makeup done or, on some occasions, will be asked to wear a mask. I’d say that’s my least favourite look – masks can be really uncomfortable, especially in a warm underground bunker.
