What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween was the year our neighborhood had a total power outage right at twilight. Instead of ruining the night, it turned the entire block into a real-life horror movie. Guided only by glow sticks and the eerie flicker of carved jack-o'-lanterns, every shadow felt alive. The spooky atmosphere made trick-or-treating genuinely thrilling and unforgettable, perfectly capturing the dark, immersive magic that makes me love this holiday so much.

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

I would make it to the end because I respect the rules of survival. While everyone else runs upstairs, investigates the creepy basement, or assumes the killer is dead after one hit, I’d be checking exits and securing weapons. I’m hyper-aware, pragmatic, and never split up from the group unless it’s a trap. My gut instinct tells me exactly when to run and when to hide. I have the stamina, the genre intelligence, and the absolute determination to outsmart the monster and be your Final Girl.

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

When I win the $13,000 I am going to split $6,000 up between my kids and invest into their futures. And take the remainder and finally start up my dream company.

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

My real-life hero is my mom, and she is exactly who I’d want by my side to survive a horror movie. She has an unmatched ability to stay completely calm under pressure and always finds a clever way out of tough situations. Whether we were facing a horde of zombies or a masked slasher, her quick thinking, fierce protective instincts, and endless resilience would keep us both alive. With her calling the shots, we wouldn't just survive the night—we would absolutely outsmart the villain.
