What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Halloween reminds me of the pure joy of childhood, when the world felt mysterious, magical, and full of possibilities. It brings back memories of having fun with family and friends, letting our imaginations run wild, and finding excitement in the simplest things. I love how Halloween brings back that sense of wonder and allows us to reconnect with the carefree happiness of being a kid while creating new memories and holding on to the magic of the past.

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

To make it to the end of a horror story, I’ll stay calm, trust my instincts, and pay attention to my surroundings. I’ll investigate strange noises only when absolutely necessary and never ignore obvious warning signs. Knowing when to run instead of fight can make all the difference between survival and becoming the next victim! Most importantly, I’ll learn from others’ mistakes because, in a horror story, curiosity can be deadly. Sometimes, the smartest thing you can do is NOT open that door! 🔪

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

A portion of the funds will go toward helping my family and friends impacted by the EF3 tornado that struck Menasha, Wisconsin, in July 2026. The remaining funds will support my family as we continue to rebuild our lives after losing everything in 2022.

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

My real-life horror hero to help me survive would be Tyler Connolly. The tall, mysterious rocker whose band’s name includes “Deadman” seems like the perfect partner to face the unexpected. Beyond the music, I admire the band’s work with the American Red Cross to encourage donations for communities and families affected by natural disasters. His rock-and-roll edge and mysterious vibes make him the perfect survival partner.
