Horror brings me life. Without the horror genre, there would be nothing to fear; we would not fear the unexpected, even if it was fantasy.
You decide who wins the sinister $13,000, and meets Jamie Lee Curtis, Matthew Lillard, and Kane Hodder!
Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
It was 2011, I was at a movie rental store in my hometown & my mom was renting out another movie for me, I snuck off to see what played on the TVs. There, in the horror section, Scream 4 was playing; "the bedroom scene". I was scared, but so intrigued as I'd never experienced the horror genre until that then. Since then, its led me to both have a fear for the unknown and have a love for experiencing that same fear and horror within the circumstances in which the characters on screen are under.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
As I've grown quite knowledgeable over the years by watching scary movie after scary movie; I know what the rules of the movies are in order to survive. Not only am I completely prepared to run at any given moment, but I am able to think rationally and RUN!! Why would everyone stay still?! Grab a weapon and GET OUT OF HERE!
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided that using the money for my education and my career as a real estate agent would be the best cause. I also want to be the reason my parents don't have to worry for the time being by helping them with their financial positions, like helping with debt and bills. I want them to be proud of me, especially for winning this competition and getting to meet one of my mother's favorite actresses, Jamie Lee Curtis.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real life hero would be my dad, AND I would want him in a movie with me. Because not only is he one of the funniest men I have ever had in my life, he was also a police officer; which means that he knows these things and he could teach me so we could both live in the end. It's like having a cheat sheet on how to survive a movie 101!
