Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween was growing up at Jellystone campground. We'd completely decorate our camper and campsite for the competition, and we always won! The best year was when the hayride went by, and we were throwing candy and doughnut holes at the riders. It was absolutely epic, filled with so much laughter, and it perfectly captured the fun, creative spirit of the season. That tradition is exactly where my love for the magic of Halloween truly started.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I would make it to the end because I’m not the victim in a horror movie—I’m the final girl who fights back. My tattoos aren’t just for show; they represent the chapters, survival, and armor of someone who has overcome real-life battles and rebuilt her strength from the ground up. You can't scare someone who has already mastered the dark, embraced her own shadows, and reclaimed her power. I have the fierce confidence, sharp instincts, and resilience to outlast any monster in the script.

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
I would want to survive with my mom. She is the one who gave me my lifelong love for Halloween, so it only makes sense to face the ultimate horror movie scenario side-by-side with her. She taught me how to embrace the magic of the dark, and she is the strongest person I know. Together, we’d combine our resilience, sharp instincts, and shared love for the spooky to outsmart the monster and make it to the final credits
