Halloween isn't a holiday to me—it's a lifestyle. I spend all year counting down to the one season where I truly come alive.
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 most memorable Halloween experience would be going trick or treating with my baby brothers for the first time since they were born. We got so much candy and as soon as we got home we watched movies together and had fun.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I combine awareness of danger, strategic thinking, quick adaptability, and emotional resilience. By avoiding common pitfalls, staying calm under pressure, and making smart decisions, I exemplify the traits of a typical horror survival character—but with even more foresight and preparation. These qualities ensure that I navigate the threats of horror films more successfully than most.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I would fix my car up and buy some new things for my siblings.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero is my dad — and he's exactly who I'd want with me in a horror movie. He's protective without being reckless. He wouldn't go full action-hero and try to fight the monster alone. He'd make sure I got out first. He's the kind of person who would go back for other people, who would stay up all night keeping watch so I could actually sleep, who would crack a terrible dad joke even when we're both terrified just to keep me from losing it
