Media “Boo Camp” at Universal Studios – Learning to be a Scare Actor

 

I wasn't sure at the beginning that I'd be able to scare anyone – I personally don't like to be scared or startled too much, and I thought perhaps that would effect me getting to scare others.  But I actually was able to scare quite a few people.  I stayed away from young kids, and anyone who looked too terrified.  I also eventually stayed away from anyone who looked hard to scare, because usually they just tried to scare me back. 🙂  This set of pics shows I actually could scare other people:

The makeup wasn't too hard to remove – peel the boils off, the paint took a little longer.   The total time with makeup (on and off) was probably a half hour.

 

 

I had debated whether to do this, especially after hearing that sometimes the crowds can get a big rowdy with the actors.  I did not experience any of that, I actually wished it had gone on a little longer.  It helped me a lot to be the one scaring instead of being scared, and I had a really great time.  You can see more of the story at JimHillMedia.com, and video at JeffLangeDVD.com!
