What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Always carving pumpkins with my family and throwing a Halloween party complete with extra-spooky snacks to match whatever horror movie we decided to watch that night. Sometimes it was something new, and other times it was a classic like *A Nightmare on Elm Street*, *Scream*, or even *Creepshow*\. Halloween has always been **THE holiday** for my dad and me. 🖤🎃 Some of my favorite memories are wrapped up in those nights—carving pumpkins, making creepy snacks, picking the perfect scary movie.

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

I’d survive a horror movie because I’ve watched WAY too many of them to fall for the obvious mistakes. 😂 I’m not investigating the creepy noise, reading the cursed book, splitting up, or running upstairs when the killer is downstairs. I’m grabbing Gaston, my keys, and getting OUT. I trust absolutely nothing—not strangers, creepy children, dolls, basements, or suspicious phone calls. Plus, I’m stubborn, slightly paranoid, and fueled by pure spite. Ghostface would eventually just give up.

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

I would pay off debt, that’s really the only goal. I would love to get out from under all the monthly payments and medical bills. If there is some left over, I would probably go to some dog shows with my service dog Gaston.

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

My real-life hero is my dad. He’s been a constant throughout my life and someone I’ve made some of my favorite memories with—from our shared love of Halloween and horror movies to simply watching Dancing with the Stars together over the phone from our own houses. 😂 He’s one of those people who makes ordinary moments special, and no matter how old I get, I’ll always be his daughter. 🖤
