What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween was going out with friends in a terrifying special-effects horror makeup look I created. The makeup was so realistic that I had little kids running away and grown adults doing double takes! Seeing people’s reactions all night made it one of those Halloweens I’ll never forget.

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

I’d make it to the end of a horror movie because I’d be suspicious of everything, notice weird details early, and actually learn the rules of whatever is happening. I wouldn’t split up, investigate creepy noises, or ignore red flags. I’d keep my phone fully charged, stay connected, and make sure I had some serious firepower before going anywhere creepy. I’d prioritize surviving while not trying to be a hero and go back.

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

If I won $13,000, I would use it to take my mom on the trip of a lifetime. She has done so much for me and deserves to be celebrated and spoiled. I’d want to give her an experience filled with laughter, adventure, and memories we could look back on forever. Being able to give my mom something that special would mean more to me than anything.

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

My real-life hero is without a doubt my mom. She’s one of the strongest, most selfless people I know. She has always put others before herself, stood by me through every challenge, and taught me to keep going no matter how hard things get. If I had to survive a horror movie with anyone, I’d choose her—because if anyone could keep us alive, it would be her.
