highlight those who make a difference at The Scream Machine. But this week, our spotlight isn’t shining on a single face or name. Instead, we are turning the lights out for a total black out! So, we can properly honor a vital part of our Scream Team: The Shadow Monsters. A "Shadow Monster" is any member of The Scream Team who prefers to remain entirely in the background. They are the ones who quietly think they aren't worthy of being bragged about, or believe it’s best if their contributions stay hidden in the dark. But let us assure you—every last member of this team is essential to The Machine. Whether they are keeping us safe on the Security team, breathing life into the monsters on the Makeup team, constructing the nightmare with the Build team, keeping lines moving & entertaining guests as Regulators, managing the chaos as Zone Leads, or stalking the darkness as Scare Actors, these nameless heroes are what keep our gears turning. While we don't have individual highlights or memories attached to the anonymous, their collective sweat and passion help create every single nightmare and lasting memory born at The Scream Machine. To our anonymous monsters: we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you.
