ScareActor is inspired by some of my experiences while working in year-round haunted attractions in Orlando and seasonal ones in in New York City and Los Angeles. Although the attractions may have closed, the friendships have endured throughout the decades and I wanted to pay homage to my former haunted homes with this relatable story of a woman navigating young adulthood angst while working at an unusual but rewarding job.
