Help Build the Nightmare
Skull Craft Street is not just a haunted display — it is a full-blown West Hills Halloween tradition. Every year we build a world of monsters, fog, lighting, props, storylines, sound, and neighborhood Halloween magic.
None of it happens without an incredible crew of volunteers helping bring the scares to life. If you have ever wanted to be part of something wild, creative, spooky, and ridiculously fun, this is your shot.

Because This Place Is a Vibe
You are not just standing around holding a prop. You are stepping into a living, breathing Halloween universe with characters, storylines, hidden paths, lighting cues, fog, sound, scenic details, and carefully timed chaos.
We treat Halloween like a competitive sport. With better costumes. And more skeletons.
Volunteer Roles
Pick your poison. Whether you want to scare guests, run effects, build scenes, help with makeup, or keep the night moving safely, there is a place for you in the Skull Craft crew.
Scare Actor
Become a monster, ghost, creature, or something so twisted we have not invented it yet. You bring the energy — we supply the costume and the chaos.
Scene Operator
Control lights, fog, sound cues, effects, props, and scene triggers. Great for anyone who loves tech or wants to boss around the darkness.
Set & Prop Crew
Help build, paint, wire, rig, decorate, repair, and fine-tune the haunt. If you are crafty, handy, or dangerous near a glue gun, this is your playground.
Makeup & Costuming
Help turn normal humans into nightmare fuel with makeup, masks, wardrobe, distressing, blood effects, and character details.
Guest Flow & Safety
Help keep the night running smooth while still looking spooky. Perfect for anyone who likes helping guests without hiding in a coffin.
Support Crew
Assist with check-ins, setup, teardown, crowd flow, visitor questions, cleanup, supplies, and the tiny details that keep Halloween from falling apart.
Who Can Volunteer?
Good Vibes Required
No haunt experience is required. We train volunteers on the basics, explain the scenes, review safety expectations, and match people with roles that fit their comfort level.
- Ages 14+ may apply
- Parent or guardian signature required for minors
- No experience needed — training is provided
- Must be reliable, respectful, and able to follow safety directions
- Must enjoy Halloween, loud noises, fog, costumes, and occasional chaos
- Community service hours may be available for students
Safety Comes First
Volunteers may be around fog, haze, low light, loud audio, props, wiring, tools, guests, children, pets, and moving equipment. We want scary scenes, not actual injuries. Very important distinction.
Everyone is expected to be respectful, sober, alert, careful, and responsible while volunteering.
Schedule & Commitment
Select Nights
Skull Craft Street operates on select nights throughout October. Volunteer needs may include setup days, operating nights, Halloween night, and teardown.
Flexible Shifts
Volunteers may choose full-season participation or single-night shifts if your schedule is tighter than a coffin lid.
Training Provided
We will walk you through your role, scene timing, safety expectations, guest flow, and what to do when the fog machine gets a little too ambitious.
