About Door Seven

Step inside Door Seven, the Gold Coast’s ultimate haunted house experience — a terrifying, story-driven attraction from the team behind Padlockd Escape Rooms. Based in the heart of Surfers Paradise, Door Seven blends live performance, themed environments, and high-tech effects to deliver an unforgettable horror experience.

We’re looking for energetic, confident, and reliable actors and scare performers to bring the haunt to life. If you love performing, improvising, or making people scream (in a fun, safe way!), this is your dream gig.

What You’ll Be Doing

Performing as a live scare actor inside the haunted house across different themed rooms.

Adapting your performance to match the energy of each group — from jump scares to eerie character acting.

Staying in character throughout each session to create a fully immersive experience.

Working closely with the operations team to ensure safety, timing, and flow between groups.

Helping reset or prep rooms between groups as needed.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need a theatre degree — just confidence, commitment, and a love for entertainment.

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

Outgoing, expressive, and comfortable performing for small groups.

Reliable and punctual (professionalism is key — our audience depends on it).

Physically capable of performing in dark, confined spaces or around loud sounds/fog effects.

Able to work evenings, weekends, and special events (especially around Halloween).

Team-oriented, positive, and fun to be around — even when covered in fake blood.

Acting or haunted attraction experience is great but not essential — we provide full training.

What We Offer

Paid training and ongoing shifts (weekends, school holidays, and event nights).

Flexible hours — perfect for students or performers.

A creative, energetic, and supportive team environment.

The chance to be part of one of the Gold Coast’s most talked-about attractions.

Staff discounts at Padlockd Escape Rooms and related experiences.

Pay & Conditions

Casual rate: in line with the Amusement, Events & Recreation Award, depending on age and experience.

Shifts generally run between 4:00pm – 10:00pm, with extended hours during events.

Some daytime shifts may be available for training or private group bookings.
