Spookier than a barracuda attack and your kids playing with panda poo, Ocean Park is frightfully planning its Halloween bash events this year and will be holding auditions today at the Salisbury Road YMCA in Tsim Sha Tsui.

We're sorry for the short notice, but the theme park didn't provide us with much warning, even though it plans to hire more than 400 people for roles as part of its 'scream team', from dancers, stunt performers and gymnasts to extreme sport specialists in areas such as free running, BMX or skateboarding. If you'd rather not dress up like these two weirdos (pictured; yes, one of them is park chief Allan Zeman), there are also positions for backstage crew.

The performance jobs will be from late September to early November, but you will most likely be needed for rehearsals earlier than that. Interested performers should arrive by 2pm at the YMCA's fourth-floor meeting room.
