I scream for horror, haunt the season, and live for scares. Creepy is my comfort zone, and Halloween is my forever vibe.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
One year I crammed in almost every haunt in town, then capped it off with a lights-out maze. Pitch black, no way out but forward, every sound making my heart race. It was pure adrenaline—fear, laughter, and chills rolled into one. That Halloween wasn’t just memorable, it was the night I realized I live for the dark and spooky.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d outlast the final scream because I’ve studied the tropes, know what not to do, and stay three steps ahead. Life as a single mom trained me to think fast, act smart, and keep steady when things get messy. Fear sharpens me, not weakens me—and that’s why I’d be the one left standing at the end.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
Unlucky for some, lucky for me—I’d turn $13,000 into a future. My daughter’s college fund comes first, then fixing what our home needs, and finally finishing my own degree. The number may be cursed, but I’d twist its fate into something powerful, practical, and life-changing for us both.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
If I could pick one hero, it’s Robert Englund. My horror journey started with Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, and it lit a fire in me that will never extinguish. He embodies everything I love about the genre—creativity, wit, and a dash of menace. Who better to survive with than the man who’s both nightmare and legend?
