Love scaring people? A famous Denver haunted house is looking for employees

Aug 15, 2025, 4:16 PM

One job I know I’d be terrible at is working at a haunted house. First off, I am not good at being scary, and second, I would laugh way too hard every time I scared the heck out of someone. If you think you’d be good at it, though, here’s your chance…

The Frightmare Compound in Westminster  has over 40 years of history, and it’s not just a haunted house: The Frightmare Compound also has a Monster Museum, Coffin Simulator Ride, and mini escape rooms, so they need around 100 employees to run the place.

The iconic Colorado haunted house will have two hiring meetings on Aug. 27 and 28, both at 6 p.m., at the Compound, 10798 Yukon St., Westminster.

Employees must but at least 16 years old with parental consent. Questions asked on the employment form range from your height, weight and age to if you’ve ever worked in a haunted house before.
