I've seen just about every mainstream horror movie and watched them more than once. I enjoy being scared. Horror season is best.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

When I was a child my aunt used to throw huge Halloween parties for the whole family and she made amazing chili and vegetable soup. But, she lived by a cemetery and my cousins and I went to it to nose around. My aunt and mom hid behind a grave and jumped out and scared us so bad that we ran all the way home and fell in the creek trying to get there. I thought my life was over.

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

I wouldn't do the things normal characters do like I'd get in the vehicle and go and not look back. I wouldn't run through the woods and I wouldn't announce that I was going to hit the killer before doing it.

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

I would use the money to pay up some bills since we are very behind. I'd take my mom and boyfriend out for a movie and dinner and to go to some haunted houses since we've never been able to afford it. Maybe take a vacation to Salem or to Washington and enjoy the spooky season there.

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

My mom, she's been through so much and she's stayed strong through it all. She works so hard for everything and deserves the absolute best and I wish I could give that to her. I'd want to survive a horror movie with her because it would show how determined I am and how strong she is. She's the strongest person I know.
