Bernie Pacheco

I scare people for fun. I watch horror movies for a laugh. I roam the streets at night, people don't see me, but I see them...

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Trick or treating with my family, my mom would always take my brother and I when we were younger to rich neighborhoods for better candy. We would come home to a bag of just pure sweets and devour them all in one night.

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

Using your head to think and being calm in serious situations, If you see something suspicious, walk away from it, don't go towards it. You just saved yourself from potential danger. If someone is after you. Run, hide, but DON'T panic. Stay calm and strong and figure out a plan. Never be alone at night.

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

I would fund it towards my college, I am currently not enrolled because of financial situations. I will also give half to my parents for always working hard for both me and my brother, for giving us a place to live and always have food on the table. And probably buy a new phone because my phone was stolen.

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

My father. My dad is a movie fanatic, he's watched all types of films. He even has this old school movie projector from LA he puts on for us every weekend, usually its always the same movies because of how expensive movie reels are but we still have an amazing time. My father is a smart man. He would definitely help me survive a horror movie with his thinking skills.
