You scary enough to live in Boca’s haunted house?

Halloween attraction holding auditions for the scream-worthy.

Starting Oct. 1, one of the best haunted houses in Florida opens in Boca Raton. And the people scaring the bejeesus out of you — maybe dripping in blood and sc reaming like a banshee (or worse, not making a sound) — are likely to include a mild-mannered lawyer, a brilliant computer animator, a meticulous quality inspector, and a soon-to-be Spanish River High School grad.

It takes more than a few decorations, grungy costumes and edible blood to make the three Enigma Haunt portals, or haunted houses like the new Pandemic, come to life. There are visual effects, lighting, animatronics, even smells. Makeup artists, set designers, sc reenwriters and actors are needed. In fact, to run a successful haunt, Enigma will hire about 80 actors for a full cast.

“We do everything possible to immerse you completely, every single sense. This haunt becomes your reality,” owner Karen Cantor said on a recent Saturday before one of the final casting calls of 2016.

Quite the come-up for something that st ar ted as a homehaunt in Karen Cantor and Billy Groeneveld’s garage in south Palm Beach County. It moved in 2012 and is now 20,000 square feet of terror in the building next to Nippers Bar & Grill in Boca.

“T h e r e w a s a l i t t l e a l i e n autopsy,” Cantor reminisced.
