00:00 (dramatic music)

00:02 (thunder rumbling)

00:07 (growling)

00:13 Okay, so I am going to be learning how to be a scare actor

00:18 here at Universal Studios Singapore

00:21 for their Halloween Horror Nights event.

00:23 I'm here at one of the haunted houses.

00:26 Based on the Netflix show, All of Us Are Dead.

00:30 With the help of Coral, who's the show director here,

00:33 she will be giving me a job appraisal

00:36 to see if I can make it.

00:38 (growling)

00:41 (laughing)

00:43 - The first thing we need to do is just warm up our faces.

00:48 So this is what I want you to do.

00:49 I just want you to open your mouth really, really big,

00:52 as big as you can.

00:53 Very good.

00:56 And then I want you to close your mouth

00:58 as small as you can.

01:00 So this exercise I like to call tiger face and lemon face.

01:04 Tiger face.

01:05 Lemon face.

01:07 Tiger face.

01:07 Lemon face.

01:08 Tiger face.

01:09 Lemon face.

01:10 Very good.

01:11 So let's see your zombie movements, okay?

01:12 Just run across or walk across

01:15 or however you want to do it.

01:16 Action.

01:17 - Boy, this, I'm like the worst break dancer.

01:23 (growling)

01:25 How's that?

01:29 - And action.

01:30 (growling)

01:32 - God, this is so bad.

01:36 I can feel, I can literally feel how bad I am.

01:39 Look how good looking you are.

01:45 - Yeah, you see?

01:47 - So sad I have to put all this prosthetic on you

01:49 just to become a zombie.

01:50 - It's true, right?

01:51 - Yeah.

01:53 (opera singing)

01:55 (opera singing)

02:25 (opera singing)

02:29 - Oh, I feel great.

02:39 You've had a glow up, I see.

02:41 - Yeah.

02:41 - So I have three things that I'm gonna score you on.

02:44 Zombie movement, your zombie facial expression

02:48 and the zombie scare factor.

02:51 So we're gonna put you to the test

02:52 by putting you back into the house

02:54 and then you're gonna see if you can scare

02:57 unsuspecting guests walking through.

02:59 You think you're up for it?

03:01 - Yeah, I'll do my best.

03:04 - All right, well let's go.

03:05 (growling)

03:07 (growling)

03:10 (growling)

03:24 I feel so sick.

03:27 (laughing)

03:31 Shall we do another one?

03:35 - Yeah, I think we can do another one.

03:36 - I think it totally worked.

03:38 - Yes, yeah, yeah.

03:40 (growling)

03:43 (screaming)

03:54 - What?

03:58 I think you did a much better job than me.

04:00 Thank you.

04:02 (screaming)

04:05 (laughing)

04:08 - All of you work here.

04:10 - Everybody works here.

04:11 - Okay.

04:12 Oh no, they're all paid actors.

04:16 You're all paid actors.

04:18 So I felt really good about my performance.

04:23 I put all my passion into it.

04:27 But from your expert point of view, how did I do?

04:31 - Well, you know what?

04:32 I was a bit impressed with you

04:34 and so in terms of zombie movement,

04:37 zombie facial expressions and zombie scare factor,

04:40 I have given you 10, 10 and 10.

04:45 - Wow.

04:46 - But it's out of a hundred.

04:47 - Oh.

04:48 - So next year, I hope you come back

04:52 for scare actor auditions.

04:54 - I would definitely try to be a better zombie next year.

04:57 I'll practice for the next 12 months.

04:59 - Yeah, you do those exercises at home.

05:02 - Okay.

05:03 - Look in the mirror, you know,

05:04 make sure you can do it.

05:04 One day you too can be the best zombie ever.

05:07 - Thank you.
