What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

When I was about five on Halloween night, my parents took me to Frankenstein Castle in Germany. One of the workers took me up the long, winding stairs. I peeked into the first room and saw an old bed covered in what looked like nails. Then I heard a blood-curdling scream. I looked toward the window and saw what appeared to be someone hanging there. I screamed so hard they thought something was terribly wrong and rushed me back downstairs. I've never forgotten it.

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

I think I'd make it to the end because being scared has never stopped me from being curious. If we hear something, I'm going to investigate it—even if I'm terrified doing it. I might scream, I might jump, and I might question every life choice that brought me there, but I'm not running away. If Kane says, “Let's find out what that was,” I'm going with him. I came for the experience, and I'm seeing it through.

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

I'd use part of it for finances. I'd give some back to the community around me, I've always wanted to take a winter vacation down south so I'd definitely book me a vacation and the rest I'd keep in the bank.

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

Jamie Lee Curtis. If I’m going to be trapped in a real horror movie, I want the woman who’s already survived Michael Myers by my side. She knows the rules, she knows the danger, and most importantly—she knows how to survive.
