What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween is every year, because it always collides with Diwali🪔the festival of lights. My family never liked spooky stuff, but I showed them that light only matters because of the dark.🌗So while they lit candles for Diwali, I slipped in cobwebs and carved pumpkins, turning our house into a shrine where horror and tradition danced together. 🪷🎃That’s when I learned you don’t have to choose; you can be both: celebration and shadow, glitter and gore.🌞🌝

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

I’d make it to the end because I’d flirt with the monster until they forgot they were supposed to kill me.🫀The monster would keep me alive, not as prey, but as proof that even nightmares crave devotion. 🖤I’d outlast everyone because I’d rewrite the ending into a gothic love story.🥀

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

With $13,000, I’d fund my law school journey. I don’t just want to be a lawyer, I want to be that lawyer: the one who protects weirdos, underdogs, artists, and dreamers. Movies raised me, but so did the strange, the spooky, and the kids who never fit in. My goal is to build a career where law and creativity meet, supporting public spaces, parks, and artistic communities where outsiders don’t have to hide in the shadows (unless they want to). Horror taught me that darkness is beautiful 🖤

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

My little brother; the greatest gift my parents gave me, bound by the same family tree and its inherited shadows. Together we descended into horror: Goosebumps, Supernatural, The Conjuring, Scream- and everything else spooky! Every first watch was a blood rite, and every nightmare was shared. He became a horror icon in his own right; my eternal companion in the dark. There is no one I would rather survive with! (And meeting Matthew Lillard together would be destiny fulfilled🙏🏼🖤😭🧿)
