While coming home from a Halloween party, my wife and I decided to go to a local Haunted House that I worked at 12 years ago. I had my entire Freddy costume with me as well. We went in and purchased our $20/person tickets and went to go get in line. Then, one of the owners who I had chatted with for a few minutes a bit earlier ran up and said, "Hey! Do you want to do a bit of acting work??" Excitedly, I said yes. He then directed me to a room where customers can go and get their photos taken with Freddy as a souvenir for the night. The actor needed a break and they didn't have anyone to fill in for him so they grabbed me and threw me in. I posed for over 100 photos with customers and while I was doing this, the owner gave our money back to my wife for our tickets and let us in for free! After we went through, he allowed my wife and I to go in and pose for our own photo and they gave us a free print of it before we left. He told me that my photos were selling like crazy because it's the best Freddy they had ever had for the photos. He then offered me a job for next year to do the same thing on the weekends. Here are a few of the photos of me posing with customers. I'm wearing an SPFX mask, a DMC 1 sweater, and a newly-made Resurrection glove by me. It was such a BLAST!!! The first photo is the one with my wife:
