Scare Tactics

Much like stand up comedy, timing is crucial when scaring people. Actors often work together for maximum impact. Night by night we are perfecting our scare tactics.

Collateral Damage - This is when one person is startled and then throws themselves back against their friend(s), knocking them to the ground.

The Domino Effect - Many people come through as though they are in a conga line. This is the perfect opportunity to scare one person and knock down a whole bunch.

Trifecta - Scaring the same person three times. ("Pa" holds the record: He scared one person six times.)

The Sandwich - One actor jumps out and the people scream and turn to run only to be confronted by another actor leaping out at them.

Distract and Pounce - One actor stands in plain sight or provides distraction for second actor to perform a sneak attack.
