Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween experience was getting to finally go to Halloween Horror Nights Orlando with my parents when I was 9. I had been begging them to go since I was 6. Ever since 2008, it has been a yearly Halloween season tradition for me. I haven’t missed a single year in 18 years.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’ve watched every horror movie imaginable. It doesn’t come down to strength, it comes down to determination and strategy. If you know how to hide and save your energy, you’ll know when the right moment is to fight for your life to make it to the end.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’m about to get married to my fiancé at the end of October. The economy is rough for everyone out there right now, but a house is our absolute next life goal. That money could truly help us finally settle into our forever home sooner rather than later. It would take quite a lot of stress off of our plate financially. Especially because I’m sure if anyone has ever planned a wedding, knows how expensive one can be.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My dad. I didn’t always have an easy childhood growing up. My most fond memories are with my dad. Whether that be going to the movies, theme parks, or simply chasing hot air balloons, he truly made sure that I always grew up with happy memories. My dad is a fighter through and through, I get my strength from him and how he raised me. That is who I would want to survive a horror movie with and who my real life hero is.
