I love the sudden shift in fall. I love Halloween. The history, my childhood, and Bill and Kane. Would be a dream come true to me.
Help your favorite Halloween fanatic appear in Rue Morgue Magazine, take home $13,000, and join Kane Hodder for a ghost hunt.
Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
I have a lot. But when I was little, my Dad would go all out. Strobe lights to chainsaws. And he would scare the trick'r'treaters, but all in good fun. And we'd watch horror movies together. Jason was my first favorite horror villain. My Dad passed 3 years ago. I know he would think it's cool that I was even selected for a chance. Always had a deep appreciation for "dark arts". There's beauty in it. I love everything from the feel in the air, to the one time of year it's ok to let it all out.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I'm pretty calm by nature. But that don't matter when they're coming for ya. I would not go upstairs, I would not draw attention to myself. I would ensure that any resources and talismans, weapons, books, spells and appropriate items would be obtained, and learn how to use correctly. Small numbers. I'd like to think I could make it to the end, even if they got me, at the end. Or ended up crazy due to the horrors. Cut to black. Haha
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I had an injury and a back surgery that has forced me to apply for ssi and ssdi. I used to work. A lot. But now I'm coming up on year number 2. Changed my life overnight. So, with the unlucky 13000 dollars, I would get caught up. Drs. bills, maintenance on my car, and I would just be able to look out for myself and my daughter a lot easier. It would literally change my life for the better. I miss working. I would use it to better my whole situation. And invest. It would be a life changer.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
I think me and ol Ashy Slashy could get it done.... Really, another horror fan, Philip Anselmo or Pepper Keenan and I would make it out. Guaranteed. Hahaha. Or Bill Moseley, just saying... Haha.
