Universal Orlando Resort is now accepting external audition submissions for these Halloween Horror Nights 32 positions: Scareactors, stilt walkers, puppeteers, dancers, and vocalists.
The submission deadline for dancers and vocalists is midnight EST on May 7, 2023. The submission deadline for the other roles is midnight EST on May 31, 2023.
One posting for dancers and vocalists is specifically for a Halloween Horror Nights stage show that sounds different from iterations of the recurring “Halloween Nightmare Fuel,” suggesting Halloween Horror Nights 32 will have a different show or multiple shows. No shows are confirmed for Halloween Horror Nights 32, only “live entertainment.”
