If you ever fancied yourself as 'scary', then this could be the job for you.
The Nightmare Realm makes it's return to the RDS in Dublin for the month of October, and they're looking for monsters, zombies and ghosts and specialty acts to join them.
They're looking to recruit almost 100 staff to play their part in the phenomenon, after it's enormous success last year.
No previous acting experience is necessary. The only criteria for being considered is that you are outgoing, willing to embody the role of your character and instil hysteria on your victims.
"We’re looking for the weird and wonderful this year to help us take The Nightmare Realm to the next level," according to Karl O’Connor, creator of The Nightmare Realm.
"The characters we have created rely on fearless and shameless people behind them to bring them to life or in some cases, back from the dead - people who really throw themselves into their role and make their character their own.
"We’re all about pushing boundaries and the creatures in the Realm are designed to terrify attendees in lots of different ways - facial expression, blood curdling screams and even the slightest movement made at just the right time."
Anyone who might be interested, The Nightmare Realm is holding workshops on:
- Saturday August 26th from 12-2pm, the RDS Dublin
