This is the role of my lifetime.

This is Jess at Knott's Scary Farm,
and I am very excited to get a monster makeover
and live my best fall self.
And I hope you guys will enjoy coming on
this spooky ride with me!
(creepy music)
- My lovely boyfriend here is about to
stick his fingers in my eyes
and give me - [Man] Yes.
- Clear contacts so I can more fully embody (laughs)
the ghost-monster vibe.
- Oh my God. - There you go!
- Oh my God.
He's going in. - Okay.
(Jess laughs) - All right, you gotta
open up more.
Yeah, hold them open.
Oh my God, I dropped it!
- What'd you do?
- Oh my God.
Here we go!
Jess, you're gonna have to do this yourself.
- This is hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
Oh my God.
They're slippery!
- Ugh!
- We got it! [Jess Laughs]
- The second eye.
- Now open!
Hell yeah!
- Hell yeah.
Yes!
I did it!
We're about to start my transformation
after getting my eyes done
and I'm talking to Bill,
who does wardrobe supervising, right?
- Yes, exactly. - Okay. Nice to meet you.

into costumes and makeup.
This Warehouse B.
This is where all the costumes are stored.
Everything is organized by the scare zone or by the maze.

and waiting for us.
We've got some costumes options down here
for you to try on.

I want to be all of them! - Come on with me.
- Okay! (laughs)
- Down here, we have all the Ghost Town Street costumes.

these are, they're all assigned to different monsters.
I do have something picked out for you to try on.

Oh my God, all I wanted was to be a dead ghost girl.
Thank you!

for your makeover.

- How about Hagatha?
(all laugh creepily)
- I guess, what's my story?
You know?
- What's your back story?
Are you a girl or are you an adult?
- I think I'm a woman,
who was burned at the stake.
Hagatha, yes. - [All Monsters] Oo, yes.
- These are all of my burn marks.

now been turned into a witch!

(all cackle)
- This has been Jess Joho at Knott's Scary Farm
and we just scared a whole lot of people.
(all cackle)
Make sure you're nice to your scarers,
because it's hot, sweaty work!
And we'll see in you in the fog!
(all cackle)
- Hard day of scaring.
It's been a hard day, hard night,
hard half an hour of doing what people do
for eight hours
on feet.
You know what, just tip your scarers,
that's my whole thing, okay?
Because,
whew, it's tough.
