What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

I'm having a hard time picking just one. From scaring the heck out of adults with my self made haunted houses as a teenager to bringing candy to children in the hospital as a Superhero. Scaring people when I worked for a local Halloween theme park event to howling at the moon with friends in our nightclub district.

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

I'm not sure that I would make it to the end. But I am sure that I would do everything I can to make it back to my wife, while helping others. I have a vast knowledge of horror, common sense, I'm hyper vigilant, and understand that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than I physically, emotionally, and mentally deal with on a daily basis. That helps me to expect the unexpected.

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

I would put $10,000 towards getting our first home with my wife. I would put $1,000 into my Camaro Batmobile that I use, year round, to visit and entertain children in need. $1,000 to take my wife to as many Halloween events as possible. $1,000 for Halloween decor for the outside of our new home.

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

John Cena. As I understand it Mr. Cena holds the world record for most Make-A-Wish visits. That makes him a real life hero in my book. I think we could be a dynamic duo daring the dangerous, devilish, and deranged.
