I love gory movies and I wear clown makeup for fun! Scaring people fills me with joy, and who doesn't love making costumes?

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
The time I got to be a scare actor in a haunted house for a school! I loved being able to creep out all ages! Getting people to jump or scream makes me feel alive! I love feeling like I can finally be myself for one night!
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I am a first-degree black belt, and I have a ton of nightmares where I have to save people from being killed, so it's kind of like free practice for the real thing, haha. Hopefully, my training hasn't been for nothing! I know how to disarm a knife, and I can usually guess how these movies end! ;3
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I would love to make a career out of doing my clown drag, and I want to experiment with creating gore of my own at home! Fake gore, of course! ;3 I would also love an excuse to get back into painting! I mainly paint animals, but I want to try painting more ghoulish things; however, I am poor!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
Heath Ledger from the Dark Knight! I loved his dedication to the film and how he locked himself in a hotel room for a week straight and wrote in a journal everything he thought the joker would find funny. I have always loved a man with a good sense of humor! He is the reason I adore clowns so much, more men should wear makeup if you ask me! With a criminally intelligent man like that on my team, we will survive no doubt!
