Leadership
Who Runs the Haunt
Allen Thompson
Director of Operations
Allen Thompson runs Scarizona Scaregrounds as Director of Operations, steering a family-owned Mesa haunt that has drawn thrill-seekers to its October seasons for over two decades.
The Cast
In Character, in the Dark
Our cast stays anonymous on stage on purpose. The clowns, the creatures, and the crawlers you meet are real people in hand-built SFX makeup, working every corner of the set to earn the scare rather than trigger it. The 2024 Highest Rated Cast Award is theirs.
Our Culture
A Production, Rebuilt Every Year
A family-owned haunt that has run for over two decades does not coast. Every October the show is redesigned and reimagined, the makeup chair fills up, and the set gets torn down and rebuilt. That is why fans put us on their annual list and why the scares hold up to the hype.
