'I love to scare people' says Caitlin Albrecht, 15, who works as a 'creepy little dead girl named Meggie' at Fright Nights at Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition. For Caitlin, the transformation to Meggie is effortless. 'As soon as I get into makeup and costume and look at myself in the mirror,' it comes together. Once the transformation is complete, what she enjoys most are 'the girls who will crumble and just start sobbing in a heap on the ground only because you stared at them ... it's pretty empowering.' But acting creepy at Fright Nights doesn't necessarily mean she wants to be an actor. 'It's a hard job to get into, but I'd love to see where it takes me.' Being in a horror movie 'would be the highlight of my life.'

"MAKING PEOPLE SCREAM OR CRY OR PEE THEIR PANTS OR WHATEVER IT IS THEY DO, IT'S ALWAYS FUN."
