What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

One year, I went all-in with a homemade “headless” costume. I startled so many people that even the brave dads crossing the street jumped. My favorite moment was a little kid whispering, “Is she… alive?” That’s when I knew I’d captured the perfect mix of creepy and fun—the real magic of Halloween.

Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.

I wouldn’t just run from the killer—I’d outsmart them. I’m quick with one-liners, great at setting traps, and always know the hidden exit. My mix of comic relief and strategy would have the villain questioning their career choice. They’d never see the prank coming until it’s too late.

What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?

I’d turn my home into the ultimate haunted destination—fog, eerie lighting, jump scares, and animatronics—then donate the rest to the Starlight Children’s Foundation to help bring joy and comfort to seriously ill kids. The real treat would be knowing the fun makes a difference.

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?

Jenna Ortega. She’s sharp, witty, and has mastered the art of facing creepy things with zero fear. Her Wednesday Addams energy matches my humor, and together we’d be the survival dream team—calm, strategic, and just a little unsettling to our enemies.
