What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloweens are the ones where I stop watching horror and become part of it. I’ve always loved transforming myself with costumes, makeup, characters and atmosphere, but the real magic is walking into a Halloween event at night and feeling that little rush of “anything could happen.” I’ve spent years turning Halloween into an entire season—not just a single night-and I’d choose a creepy, theatrical October night over a normal night out every time.

Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.

I’d survive because I’m paranoid enough to assume everything is trying to kill me. Strange noise? Nope. Creepy basement? Absolutely not. “Let’s split up”? I don’t think so, Brenda. I’ve watched enough horror movies to know better—and I’m not dying before the final scene. 😭🔪

What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?

I’d make the $13,000 last beyond the Halloween season. I’d put some toward building my future in film and acting, then use part of it to create an unforgettable Halloween experience—costumes, special effects, a killer movie-night setup and a trip somewhere genuinely spooky. I’d also save a portion, because surviving the horror movie is great… surviving the bills afterward is even better. And yes, I’m absolutely buying one ridiculously realistic animatronic.

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?

My hero would be the person who knows me well enough to recognize when I’m scared—even when I’m pretending I’m not. In a horror movie, I don’t need someone to be fearless. I need someone who’ll look at the monster, look at me, and say, “Run.” And I’d trust them enough to actually listen.
