What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween was the year I wandered through an old, abandoned house that locals swore was haunted. Every floorboard creaked under my feet, and the air was ice-cold—even though it was warm outside. I left with my heart pounding and the feeling that something unseen had followed me home.

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

I’d make it to the end of a horror movie because I wouldn’t just survive—I’d adapt. While others scream and run, I’d watch the killer, learn their patterns, and turn the hunt around. By the final act, the monster wouldn’t be chasing me…I’d be chasing it. And when the credits roll, no one would know if I was the hero who lived—or the villain who stayed.

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

With the unlucky $13,000, I’d bring my vision to life by opening my own independent horror film studio which is called Dark Forest Films. I’d invest in quality cameras, lighting, and sound equipment to create chilling, immersive stories that stick with people long after the credits roll. Every dollar would go toward building a space where nightmares can be crafted—and captured—on film.

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

I’d want to survive a horror movie with Denzel Washington. His intelligence, composure, and ability to stay calm under pressure would be a huge asset when things get terrifying. He’s resourceful, strategic, and has a commanding presence that makes you feel safe, even in chaos. With Denzel watching my back, I’m confident we’d outsmart whatever horror came our way—and make it to the end credits alive.
