Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween experience was dressing up and handing out candy with my dad. He would pretend to be a creepy decoration or prop, completely still, until trick or treaters got close, then he’d suddenly jump up and chase them on rollerblades! Watching everyone scream and run while we laughed together made Halloween feel absolutely magical.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d make it to the end because I’ve spent way too much time watching zombie movies and final girl horror films, so I’ve basically studied the survival rules. I also served in the military, so I have some real world training and know how to stay calm, think quickly, and handle myself when things get intense. Basically, horror movies have been my training ground.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d put part of the unlucky $13,000 toward my wedding because I’m getting married to my best friend in Japan! Then I’d use the rest to make our annual Halloween party in 2027 even bigger, scarier, and more unforgettable.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real life hero is my fiancé, my best friend and the person I’d want beside me in a horror movie. We’d absolutely survive together, but if he says “let’s split up,” I’m immediately reconsidering the engagement.
