Born in 89, Halloween raised me, horror taught me craft. From Goosebumps to Evil Dead, I became a filmmaker shaped by the genre. It's my DNA
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?
My best friends threw a Back to the Future party back in 2015 to commemorate Marty McFly's trip to the "future". Iconic.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I literally grew up studying all the major horror films of the 70s, 80s, and 90s while living and breathing the Resident Evil games. Survival horror is basically a second language to me at this point.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I'm a graduate film student at Loyola Marymount and I'm working on my thesis film to graduate in the spring. Winning this would help me make the best film possible and ensure that I finish my MFA program strong! This film could be a launching pad for my filmmaking career and could greatly impact my future as a genre filmmaker!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My older brother Oscar, a real hero who serves in the U.S. Army. He taught me all I know about horror films (we watched The Exorcist together when I was 10 years old and had a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon the same year). He is an incredible inspiration to me and a big reason I'm pursuing filmmaking.
