I figure at this point, money is money and should I find a full time job, this temp job won't get in the way, but if it did I'd know which one to toss aside.

So, if anyone reads this and has any ideas for me, I'd sure love to hear them.
A zombie would probably be the easiest to come up with on what time you have left before you start. Just rat up you and some regular clothes to look like you have been buried for a few years. ( a mix of dirt, charcoal dust and some powder will come in handy.)
It's hard to tell some one how to be in character. I've done the gatekeeper job at a haunted house before. Have you ever heard the song "sweating bullets" by megadeath? I'm pretty good at that voice and added a Dr. Zhivago/mad scientist laugh. A cold, psycho, I know what you did, look in your eyes would help. And you could say things like, "welcome to your nightmare. *maniacal laugh*"
One thing I would like to tell you also, the people that will be in line, 85% of them will be full of liquid courage. They don't really pay much mind to the gatekeeper because they just want to get into the house before the courage starts to wear off. (just an fyi to keep in mind.)
I hope something of this helps. Have fun and be safe.
