Anybody can wear a costume. I bring the character to life. The energy, the look, the attitude, Halloween was made for me.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My favorite Halloween memories aren’t about one specific costume—they’re about that feeling when the whole world changes for one night. Everybody gets permission to be somebody else, get creative, scare each other, laugh and completely commit to the moment. I’ve always loved that energy. Halloween is the one night where being a little weird, dramatic or over-the-top isn’t just accepted—it’s the whole point.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
Because I’m not investigating ANY strange noise 😂. Door closes by itself? That room belongs to the ghost now. Somebody says “let’s split up”? Absolutely not. I’m observant, I stay calm under pressure, and I know when curiosity is about to get somebody killed. While everybody else is trying to figure out what the killer wants, I’m already three exits ahead. I’m not trying to be the hero—I’m trying to make the sequel.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
First, I’m changing the name from “unlucky” to “seed money.” I’d put part of it toward building my future, invest some into my creative and business goals, take care of a few responsibilities, and save the rest. But I’d have to spend at least $1,300 doing something ridiculous for Halloween. You can’t win $13,000 from the Face of Halloween and suddenly start acting responsible with ALL of it. 🎃
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My brothers. We’ve been through enough real-life situations together that I already know how the horror movie would go. One of us would be making jokes at the worst possible time, one would swear he knows exactly what to do, and somehow we’d still figure it out. If I have to spend a night running from something supernatural, I want the people beside me to be the same people I’d trust when things get real.
