What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

In my mid-teens, after I was too old to go trick-or-treating, I would attend the community Halloween party in the trailer park I lived in. A couple of times I was the winner of the costume contest. I took my inspiration at the time from my favorite effects artist, "Screamin'" Mad George, and I wanted to try to pursue a career in that field but life, as it does, had different ideas. Another notable memory: I was around 5-6 yrs. old and accidently swallowed my fake pirate mustache with my dinner.

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

I like to think that I've seen enough horrible decision making in horror films to know precisely what NOT to do. Never split up, if you hear a weird sound, don't investigate it. If you go into an allegedly haunted house, do not do anything that might agitate the spectral guests, whether you believe in that stuff or not. Try to be the fastest runner in whatever group you're in; you don't have to be faster than the threat, just faster than your friends.

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

Do a shopping spree at a Spirit Halloween store! Also I'd use some towards paying off my car and give some to my son to help him get back to school to pursue the career he wants.

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

Well, he's right there in my profile picture! I think Bruce Campbell would be a hoot to survive with. I know he's not ACTUALLY Ashley J. Williams but maybe some of the survival tactics he used in his movies might have carried over to real life.
