What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween experience was when I was a kid. Halloween has always felt to me the way Christmas feels to other people. The costumes, the decorations, the crisp cold air, running around collecting candy, it all felt like the entire world transformed for one night. That feeling has stayed with me, and now continues with my son, and that’s why I chase that same Halloween spirit every year.

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’m not the person who hears a weird noise and immediately says, “Let’s go check it out.” I know better than to split up, investigate a creepy basement, or follow a mysterious sound into the woods, but I just might be so unhinged I would start chasing after the monster myself.

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

If I won the unlucky $1,300, I fear for everyone around me because I would immediately become the neighborhood Halloween menace. I’d buy an absolutely unnecessary amount of Halloween decorations and turn my house into a full-blown haunted attraction. Basically, I’d take that $1,300 and turn my neighborhood into the most obnoxiously spooky place possible and I’d have absolutely no regrets.

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

Without a doubt, Sheri Moon Zombie. If I have to survive a horror movie, I want someone who knows what she’s doing and can hold her own with just one scary laugh. She already has the spooky aesthetic, the confidence, and the “I’m absolutely the scariest thing here” energy. I feel like we’d either survive the whole movie or become the reason there’s a sequel. Either way, I’m choosing Sheri.
