How can I become involved in helping with Kingsbury Cemetery Haunted House ? We are always looking for energetic, responsible and reliable volunteers to help with the construction and operation of Kingsbury Cemetery Haunted House. Previous experience is not required, Just a love of Halloween and desire to help. All materials and costumes will be supplied along with training for any special effects or mechanical devices. Food is provided for volunteers during all operations. It is required that new Volunteers come to our Ghoul Skool, and one or more of the construction days to become familiar with the haunted house during daylight hours. Each volunteer receives a souvenir gift at the conclusion of the season. Kingsbury Cemetery is now looking for new volunteers for 2010. Please e-mail us now to get on the volunteer mailing list ! Announcing Kingsbury Cemetery's Third Annual Ghoul Skool Class Over the past two years our volunteer actors at Kingsbury Cemetery have taken their
scareacting up to a whole new level by attending our annual Ghoul Skool and
discussing scare tactics, timing, character development, costuming, makeup and
watching some excellent DVD's on haunt acting. This year we wish to have all volunteers to meet for our Third Annual Ghoul Skool, a one day volunteer/acting seminar on Saturday September 11th from about 10AM to 3PM. Location to be announced. The days activities will include plans for this years haunt, a haunted house acting seminar, character development, (your haunt character that is, not your own, we cant be held responsible for that!), makeup demos, costuming, signups for this years schedule, and Haunted House safety training. In addition to that there will be a "graduation ceremony" with special Ghoul School "diplomas" as well as making new friends, catching up with old ones, having some good food and fellowship and a few other suprises! Acting out in this Skool is encouraged and won't get you in trouble with your teacher! Pre-registration is required!
