What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

The year the fog rolled in so thick you could barely see the end of the street… we carved pumpkins under flickering porch lights, and the night felt like it belonged in a Tim Burton movie. Kids screaming and laughing, it was a true hollows eve.

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

I would make it to the end of a scary movie because I’ve already survived plot twists real life couldn’t even dream up. I’ve got street smarts from navigating chaos, a survivor’s instinct that kicks in before the danger even shows, and the ability to keep calm while everyone else panics. I read people and vibes like a map, so I’m not the type to wander into a creepy basement without a flashlight, a weapon, and at least three backup plans.

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

If I had $13,000, I’d lock down a few months of living expenses so I could breathe without panic, then pour some into growing Hauntedborn better animation tools, merch samples, and maybe hiring talent to bring my world to life. I’d stash a bit in an emergency fund so life’s curveballs don’t knock me off track, chip away at any high-interest debt, and save a small slice for something just for me, maybe a spooky getaway or a piece that makes my space feel like my own personal Tim Burton set.

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

My grandparents, since they stepped in during the hardest chapter of my life and gave me stability when everything else was burning down (sometimes literally). They’ve already faced real horror and come out standing, so in a movie, they’d be the ones keeping the lantern lit and making sure we both make it to the credits.
