I find beauty in the strange, comfort in the dark, and magic in the eerie. Halloween is where my soul feels most at home

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
Halloween isn’t just a night. it’s a vibe, a lifestyle. My favorite memory? The energy, the magic, and the vibe of it all
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’ve studied the genre like a survival guide. I know when to run, when to hide, and never ever say “I’ll be right back.” I don’t split up, I don’t investigate weird noises, and I always check the back seat. Years of horror movie marathons have trained me for this moment. While others panic, I stay sharp. I’ve got the instincts, the strategy, and just enough paranoia to make it out alive
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
With the prize money, I’d invest a large portion for my future and my dream business of making gothic vintage style cakes. I’d give some to family to help them out. A win like this isn’t just for me, it’s a chance to create impact and set the foundation for something bigger
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero is my mom. She’s overcome real turmoil with strength and grace, and through it all, she’s become my best friend. If I had to survive a horror movie with anyone, it’d be her, no question. She’s tough, smart, and fearless, and together we’d kick ass, have each other’s backs, and make it to the end credits like the ultimate final girl duo
