Lol. "Earn your stripes"

What's so funny? We're literally known worldwide and have a reputation to keep, so it only makes sense we weed out people who will phone it in for another paycheck. You want to get paid? You have to earn it
You mean weed out the people with enough spine to complain when they are not paid what they are worth.

Working for "experience" is worthless, try paying for food with "experience" and see how that goes.

This is probably why they make it 5 years. Most people will have quit doing it by then, so they probably only have a handful of paid people and a whole lot of high school volunteers who'll only do it a year or two before finding an actual job with an actual pay.
That's if they don't find a reason to fire them after year 4. If it's an employment at will state they don't even need a reason.

You can't fire someone if they're only volunteering >_> you just tell them to not come back.

Yeah, sounds like a scam to me, but someone like ZombiePelican would do it.

Pretty sure Zombie and Merandi are the same person.

Lmao no. ZP is a strange fellow with a weird obsession with creating the same damn topic every day.



He thinks everyone that disagrees with him is the same person. He thinks me and @Muffinz0rz are the same.

lol that's a weird gimmick

They have suckered you into working for free for 3 years? Have some self respect man.

I do, it's a volunteer thing and I enjoy doing it because it's fun

lmfao working at a place that used to be owned by pantera

edit: sorry did I say working, I meant volunteering

I was partly owned by Phil Anselmo only but he sold off his part of it years ago. Why are you so bitter?

I personally know all the owners amd managers, they're all legit great people who wouldn't do this. I know people who have been here more than a decade

I know the owners and they wouldn't do this because they treat us all like we're family and do all kinds of things for their members even of they don't pay newer actors. Like we have a huge wrap up party with food catered by local restaurants after every night and we have a huge wrap up party after Halloween with open bar and free krewe shirts given to cast and crew

I do sign a contract saying things like I won't cause a scene, assault customers, and we'll obey the fire safety laws

But I'm not an employee, just a volunteer.

I don't understand why people are giving TC a hard time about microtransactions. I work and think they're dumb and should be gotten rid of. I don't understand how anyone can defend them or think they're a positive thing.

Most people don't like them either, but to spend so much time bitching about them is stupid. It's definitely a lame gimmick.

@TheDarkCircle


Agreed Mernardi, as they say:

this is a lame gimmick bro

And then he thinks they're generous by paying for food and drinks for their free workers.. They just use those expenses as deductibles when doing their taxes.

They barely make any profit though, we barely make rent every year. If you've ever seen the stage show ending before you should realize that's where their young actor pay goes to.

Plus as I've aready stated

I found an article online that says between 700-2000 people per night, and up to 4000 on Halloween night alone.. And that was from 4 years ago. I imagine attendance has gone up since then.
So unless rent costs them a million, which I highly doubt, I bet their mattresses are filled up with dollar bills.

There is no conspiracy here man, they make some money of course but none of the owners make enough to live overly lavish lifestyles. None of them have huge houses or more amenities than any other middle class person would have. You would be amazed how little shit actually gets done here up until the wire and yet they still receive so many awards and shit.

You want my honest opinion of them? They're bumbling idiots who got lucky because they had the idea to touch on something no other haunted attraction wanted to touch with a 10 foot pole at the time, they're nice guys but I call a spade a spade

Dude, just shaving off the mustache and cutting off a few inches of your hair would do wonders for you.
