They're spooky, sexy, slidey — and driving ticket sales at Hershey's amusement park

The Decayed Brigade, a team of haunt sliders that appears at Hersheypark.

Hersheypark Hersheypark's "haunt sliders" — scare actors who slide on knee pads — have gained a fanbase on TikTok.

"The makeup stays ON" commented one thirsty fan.

The attention has translated to good business for the park, who has seen growing ticket sales for its Dark Nights event.

Imagine you're walking around an amusement park in October while it's Halloween themed.

The air is crisp, you've got a giant pretzel, you're strolling with friends to get in line for the roller coaster.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see tall man dressed in all black with skeletal face paint walking towards you.

Suddenly, he leaps to the ground on all fours, and against everything you've known in your life about how human beings ambulate, he slides across the pavement on his hands and knees, coasting right up beside you at an incredible speed.

Depending on who you are and your level of awareness of the "haunt sliders" of Hersheypark, this fast encounter leaves you either terrified or terrifyingly horny. @itzarcher PUMPKINN @thrillsandmagic @Hersheypark #fyp #darknights2025 #decayedbrigade #viral #itzarcher ♬ original sound - itzarcher Since 2021, Hershey's amusement park has employed a group of haunt sliders from a crew that calls itself the "Decayed Brigade" for its Dark Nights Halloween event that runs in September and October.
