HFX Guild × Cucuy Nights
This Is Not a Side Gig
Cucuy Nights is a culturally rooted horror production built on indigenous and Latino mythology, original characters, and immersive practical effects. What started as a home haunt has grown into a serious creative operation with a multi-year narrative world — and we are building the team that will bring it to life.
If you are a performer, makeup artist, builder, or production hand who wants to be part of something with real creative vision and real stakes — read on. We are not filling slots. We are assembling a crew.
Open Roles for the 2026 Season
We recruit actors, makeup artists, builders, and production crew who bring skill, commitment, and a genuine passion for horror. Cucuy Nights runs on practical effects and real craft — no filler, no flaking.
Actors & Performers
Scare actors, character performers, and walk-around talent. Experience in improv, physical theatre, or haunted attractions preferred. High-intensity performance in confined spaces required. Costumed and directed by HFX Guild creative leads.
Makeup & Practical Effects
Prosthetics application, special FX makeup, creature design, and on-site touch-ups. Experience with latex, foam latex, or theatrical makeup required. Portfolio or photos of prior work expected with application.
Set Design & Construction
Scenic painting, prop fabrication, structural build-out, and themed environment construction. Experience with power tools, foam carving, or theatrical set building preferred. Haunt or theatrical background a strong plus.
Production Support
Ticketing and guest flow management, security coordination, general operations, and event-night logistics. Reliable, calm under pressure, and comfortable in high-crowd haunted attraction environments.
