Oz Halloween attraction AU

(Idk, Is that anything??)
It’s basically a haunted house attraction operating out of the old Oswald State Penitentiary, now retrofitted for scares 👻
A tour through the place would involve partially following a story of a new inmate and as you move through all the different rooms there’s various re-enactments of supposed prisoner deaths over the years (extremely tasteless stuff, as you do); hanging bodies, guy getting staked through the heart, dude eating glass and spraying blood, bloody guy in spooky laundry room etc.
The group gets herded through the narrow halls of Solitary and then chased back up the hall toward the next section by an insane guy—various tricks like that
A big scare at the end is the ‘riot’ where the tour is seemingly over after surviving the spooky sights on death row through to the execution chamber only for scarers to rush the larger floor at the end and force the haunted house guests to make a run for the actual exit, through a door under a big barricade looking stage piece :P
The Oz characters work at the haunted house as scarers (I’m addicted to Oz AUs that are essentially work place dramas, sue me)
Of course, like in the community pool AU, this is seasonal work, so after they have all their fun pursuing their passions for scaring the shit out of thousands of visitors during the season, they go back/on to other businesses/work/fucking around until the next year with McManus is calling around to see who is available to start rehearsing for the new scare season. He's got some people he's more eager to call for a return than others—some returning scarers are better than others
That guy Beecher who played a scared prisoner screaming his head off one year came back the next season to act totally insane and creepy; all the coworkers were really impressed (he would go on to star in the community theater production of Macbeth...)
Chris Keller and Ryan probably always pop out of nowhere under flickering lights to creep on guests
Shirley and Groves's executions in the Death Row area get a lot of screams
Miguel ends up covered in blood every year, whether his role is cutting up his own face, hanging himself, stabbing out a CO's eyes, etc, somehow he's always covered in fake blood
I think there would also be like a 'hall of memories' type corridor near the 'psych ward' that would essentially be a nightmarish run through various crime flashbacks from Oz, such as Mondo Brown's (McManus: here's how we get a meat freezer scene into our prison-themed haunted house)
I just think Oz characters working at a haunted house acting all scary and then clocking out is funny
(miguel/chico agenda: chico chasing miguel with a shank (also chasing guests) and then waiting for him at the back door after work :P) (he has to wait due to the amount of fake blood miguel is covered in that needs washing off)
