What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

As a kid, I was absolutely petrified of horror movies and haunted houses.. like, Olympic-level scared. But was I allowed to avoid them? Of course not. My mom is a full-blown horror fanatic who basically raised me on a steady diet of jump scares and trauma. I vividly remember watching "Halloween" every year, bravely covering my eyes... only for my mom to say, “If you’re gonna watch it, you’re not covering your eyes.” (Thanks, Mom. Truly.). Now I make my own haunts as part of my career.

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

First of all, I'm gay.... which means I have flawless instincts and a sixth sense for bad vibes. I can run (cardio queen!), so when the killer starts chasing, I’m not tripping over nothing like some B-movie extra. I’m street smart, which means I don’t go toward the creepy noise... nope, I’m already halfway down the block calling for backup. And when it’s time to disappear? I can hide better than your ex when rent’s due. Final girl energy? No. Final b*tch energy.

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

With $13,000, I’d buy a life-size animatronic Cher to guard my front door, commission a haunted drag show in a castle, and get custom fangs bedazzled with Swarovski crystals. The rest? Blown on black capes, fog machines, and legally adopting a bat named “Diva.” (Just kidding... I'd probably take my friends to sleepy hollow for an epic halloween weekend)

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

If I had to survive a horror movie with anyone, it’d be my mom. She’s street smart, calm under pressure, and has spent years roasting final girls for their bad decisions....“Why go upstairs when the door’s RIGHT THERE?” She’s my hero because she doesn’t just survive; she critiques while doing it. In a horror scenario, she’d have a weapon, a plan, and a backup plan, while I’m hiding in the corner. Honestly, the killer wouldn’t stand a chance. Mom would outwit and out-snark them.
