Halloween is the one time my obsession with ghosts is considered festive instead of concerning. Let me professionally bother the dead.
Help your favorite Halloween fanatic appear in Rue Morgue Magazine, take home $13,000, and join Kane Hodder for a ghost hunt.
Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
When I was five, I dressed as a ladybug and stood innocently handing out candy. Older kids would come closer, completely unaware that my uncle stood motionless beside me in a Michael Myers costume, waiting for them to reach for it. He’d move an inch, they’d scream and run, and I’d laugh as if I had nothing to do with it.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’m naturally suspicious and always prepared for the worst. While everyone else is panicking, I’d be studying the killer’s patterns, figuring out how to trap them, and turning the situation against them. By the end, the killer would probably be the one wondering if they were going to survive.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d invest some into my spooky hobbies, and save the rest. Being prepared for the unexpected is important.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My boyfriend. He’s strong where I’m not, which makes us a rather effective team. We’d strategize together and come up with a way to trap the killer. I’d play the innocent, harmless ladybug again, letting the killer underestimate me long enough to take the bait. While he was distracted, my boyfriend would take him down. Some strategies are worth keeping, and I doubt the killer would enjoy meeting us. 👹
