What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Every October, I host a legendary Halloween party my friends talk about all year. Fog machines, eerie lighting, missing-person posters, creepy games… you name it, it’s there. It’s become our own horror movie set come to life, and I love watching everyone fully immerse themselves in the spooky fun.

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

As a lifelong horror fanatic, I’ve studied enough slashers to know what not to do. I stick with the group, keep my phone charged, and never open the creepy basement door. Survival is part strategy, part instinct and I’ve got both.

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

I’d put it toward my upcoming wedding and plan a Halloween-themed honeymoon. Think haunted hotels, ghost tours, and historic cemeteries. We’d celebrate our marriage the way we love most: chasing thrills, embracing scares, and making memories in the spookiest places on Earth.

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

My dad. He had a gift for making friends everywhere. In a horror movie, he’d rally the survivors, charm our way out of danger, and somehow talk the villain into letting us go. I’d feel braver with him beside me, knowing he’d find a way to get us both to the credits.
