I was an intern, and promoted to production assistant eventually (TY Zac).
And YES, we interns/assistants were in charge of setting up the lines of cable from the truck to the power source in the haunted house/barn/building/prison etc. The electricians were part of the union so these lazy leeches made us do the cabling.
The one that scared the sh*t out of me was eastern penitentiary. Me and another intern were at the darkest basement which is the power conduit and while looking for the transformer “something” just removed my baseball cap. I told this story many times here on FR. I thought it was the other girl who was with me but the look on her face of I dunno, fear/surprise was priceless. She said it just flew from my head. There’s a lot more stories I could tell but it will take an entire thread to do so..
Sounds far too spooky for me. Thanks for the reply.
