What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

The one that stands out the most was when my dad took my brother & I to an outdoor haunt called 'Camp Blood,' and I happened to fall during the trail into a thicket of briars. One of the haunt actors found himself over to me and he was holding a skull - he never broke character as he reached to help me out and said, 'Do you want to touch my skull?' I went screaming and scrambling despite being 16 and felt like I was in a scene from Friday the 13th considering it was an outdoor camp theatrical.

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

Outwit the killer, but be unafraid to face them. I observe a lot, and I am quick-witted. If you are able to come to understand the bad guy's psyche you can often out-think them. That's how you survive.

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

Well, I have some book projects I'd like to fund and I am disabled with many barriers. It would be nice to get caught up on some bills and have investment capital toward my projects being pushed to the proper eyes, and seeing my dreams as 'just a woman with a dream and a pen,' come true despite my many setbacks. I'd like to inspire, educate and entertain people for the rest of my life.

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

Sarah Michelle Gellar, because who wouldn't want to face hell's worst with her on your side? I mean, Buffy Summers, and I think that's about all there is to it. I'd have said Anne Rice, but she's passed onto the afterlife, so I'll take Sarah anyday of the week.
