    Welcome to a special episode of Salem, Massachusetts’ local news. Today, we take you behind the scenes of the Nightmare Nights Haunt event at Fun World Amusement Park. We're delving into the making of the giant women scare actors.

    Our first stop is the dressing room where magic happens. It's here where two actors transform into a single, towering woman. The woman, standing at 5ft 6in, climbs onto the man’s shoulders, who is 5ft 8in tall.

    Under her enormous dress, the man becomes invisible, creating an illusion of a giant woman. The couple's coordination is key to making this illusion convincing.

    They demonstrate some twirls, showing how the man's movements control the flow of the dress. It's a dance of sorts, requiring precise timing and balance.

    We get a chance to interview the actors. The woman towers over our reporter, continuing the interview looking down at him, maintaining the illusion even off-stage.

    When the man wants to speak, the woman lifts her dress slightly. He shares his experience from under the dress, then the dress drops, and the interview continues.

    As we end our interview, the giant woman walks up, lifting her dress and covering the reporter. She steps back, hiding the reporter underneath her dress.

    In a grand finale, the woman does a twirl, sending the dress flowing. She blows a kiss at the camera, reminding us of the magic and mystery of the Nightmare Nights Haunt event.

    As the dress settles, the reporter emerges, a smile on his face. The episode ends, leaving viewers with a newfound appreciation for the giant women scare actors and the illusion they create.

    And that's a wrap for this special episode. We hope you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look at the Nightmare Nights Haunt event. Join us next time for more local news.
