Carl Castillo

I have seen the darkness, it calls to me every night and I know I must answer it. But I still have things to do here and now before I go.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Of course there was a house that no one ever went to but my friends egged me on during one blistering windy night, a storm was brewing. I went back after they left and stood outside, got to the top of the stairs as quietly as I could and went to one window where I could see movement inside, something moving slowly, coming closer to me. I couldn't move. I held my breath, thinking they couldn't hear me. Something slowly brushed aside the curtain, a hand, maybe a claw, scratched the glass, I ran.

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

I would learn about each of them at the beginning and would know their fear, their weak points, how trusting they were and how to manipulate them into taking unnecessary risks and help lead them to their doom. And dispatch them myself, if it was necessary. I can appear to be very friendly and open when I need to but I actually have a very cold heart.equip

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

Equip the house with the best ever Halloween surprises I could. It would start outside and go through all the twists & turns, dead ends and trap doors to eventually lead down into the musty, dank, dark basement, lights that flickered, occasionally going out completely which triggered the sounds that would scare the crap out of them but all in good fun. There would be treats at the end.i

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

I think Bruce Campbell probably has some real hero-like qualities that would be good for our survival. We are about the same age, grew up with the same influences and besides, he's a lot bigger than me and they would go after him first.
