What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

I once met Clive Barker! Having written some of the most incredible and disturbing horror he was very nice and a genuine pleasure to meet!

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

The normal response to a question like this is to cite The knowledge I have acquired from watching hundreds of horror movies, or from reading dozens of horror novels. And we all know the reality is that why anyone would make it to the end of horror film entirely depends on there intestinal fortitude. Trying to outsmart a villain or second guess a scenario is not effective without the ability to act on it with an unwillingness to give up, no matter the situation.

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

There are so many worthwhile charitable organizations I have in mind. As well as taking my wife out to a lovely dinner! ;)

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

Hands down my wife. She has gone through so much in our time together. I would take on any monster, any horrific puzzle, any uncertain path just to secure her safety.
