Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween experience was going trick-or-treating as a kid. I loved getting dressed up and getting candy, but I also loved seeing all the creepy costumes people would wear and getting that little feeling of being scared. One Halloween, there was someone dressed as the Grudge/Ring girl standing down a path. They would stay hidden until we got closer, then slowly come out, and whenever we started walking away, they would go back to where they were. It gave us such an eerie feeling
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’ll make it to the end of a horror movie because I’ll actually pay attention to the warning signs. I wouldn’t be the person who hears a creepy noise and decides to investigate it alone. I’d stay calm, think before I act, and do whatever I could to keep myself and everyone else alive. Plus, I already love horror movies, so I know better than to split up, trust the obviously suspicious person, or go into the basement when I hear something moving.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
With the unlucky $13,000, I’d definitely put some of it toward doing what I love, which is SFX makeup. I’d use it to get better supplies, try new techniques, and create even more creepy characters. I'll also spoil my two little ghouls, my puppies, because they deserve it too. I’d save some for school and the future, but I’d definitely make sure a little of that $13,000 went toward the things that make me happiest.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero would probably be Gerard Way. I’ve looked up to him for a long time, and his creativity has inspired me to be myself. I’ve always loved horror, darker music, and things that are a little different. Seeing him embrace those things made me feel more comfortable doing the same. I love expressing that through SFX makeup and creepy looks without worrying what people think. If we survived a horror movie together, we’d probably be freaking out but still have fun.
