What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My birthday is the end of September beginning of fall. I always love celebrating in a spooky way. My favorite year is when my family took me to opening fright nights at Universal Studios. Experiencing all the haunted houses and jumps cares around the park was the best night ever!
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
Keep your friends close but enemies closer. I wouldn't mind turning into the bad guy in the end and being able to walk away!
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I'm coming to the end of my bachelor's degree at the University of Arizona. I would put most money towards school. However I have always loved makeup and special effects with latex or liquid skin. My family said I always had a skill for it but I knew it wouldn't pay if I didn't get lucky or... unlucky. I would hope to take some professional classes or get certified in special effects with the rest of this money!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
Definitely Sydney Prescott (sorry Matthew!). She was able to survive it all, literally! I think her character is smart, brave, and beautiful! If anyone can get me to the end it's her!
