What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

When I was around 10, my family took my older cousins and I to Ripley’s haunted house in Tennessee allegedly ranked the scariest #2 in the US at that time. 1st room, my older cousins completely froze and refused to take another step. Only my oldest cousin and I pushed through, and she squeezed my arm so tight it left a bright red mark! My mom begged an actor not to jump out, only for him to creep up and purr in her ear. Little 10-year-old me walked out thinking, "What did I just witness?"

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

I know I’d make it to the end of a horror movie because I’ve watched so many that I know what to expect and what traps to avoid. I know how to keep my head cool and get out of bad situations fast. But I wouldn’t just run and hide the whole time, either. Once I figure out what’s going on, I’m turning the tables, outsmarting them, and haunting them right back!

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

​Winning $13,000 would literally change everything for me. I’d be able to fix up my car so it’s running smooth, move into a place of our own, and start my family. It’s the exact push I need to help a starting ground.

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

​Hands down, my real-life heroes are my parents. My mom would always be my top choice to survive a horror movie with, but honestly, I couldn't just pick one person. Music and singers have gotten me through a lot, but my mom and dad are the ones who taught me hard work, determination, persistence, and how to stand my ground. They built my backbone, and at the end of the day, my family is my true hero.
