What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My mom making costumes out of whatever we had and turning scraps into magic. Roaming the streets at night with pillowcases for trick-or-treat bags, collecting candy, jumping out to scare other kids, and feeling so free 🎃

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

Because I’m not a quitter.

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

Halloween is such a fun holiday for me! It also carries a tradition I share with my goddaughter and nephew. We create themed looks every Halloween and go around town filling our bags with treats. Coincidentally, on Halloween 2024, my life took a curveball. Winning this prize would not only help me get back on my feet, it would give me the chance to invest in myself by taking SFX makeup classes. With this opportunity, I could transform my passion into a skill set that builds a brighter future.

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

Honestly, my hero is myself. Through every struggle, every setback, and every obstacle, I’ve proven to myself that I can endure. I’ve been living through my own horror story, but I’m still standing—and I know I’ll make it out alive. Surviving hasn’t just made me stronger, it’s shown me that I already carry the courage and resilience of a hero.
