Halloween is a mindset and passion I carry year round. Growing up near an old church graveyard, I became fascinated with death early on.
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?
While visiting an old haunted jail on Halloween night in historic Charleston SC, I heard disembodied voices coming from numerous decrepit cells. There were shadow figures and spirit orbs around the room where it is alleged multiple inmates hung themselves by rope to escape the dismal conditions.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I have encountered spirits of the deceased and also demonic entities Death is not the end. The afterlife is rich and expansive where time is infinite. When death is no longer feared, there lies my superpower. I would make it to the end and if by chance I die a physical death. I will come back and relentlessly haunt my perpetrator(s) in the afterlife.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I will pay off my student loans so I am no longer a slave to the lender. In addition, I would donate a part of my earnings to help my local chapter of the Humane Society. We must be the voice and protectors of our furry friends who are the most vulnerable in a society that can be cruel to them.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real life hero would be my brother David whom I lost over 5 years ago in a horrific fiery car crash caused by a drunk driver. He was a horror movie buff and we both loved the movie Fright Night , the original with Chris Sarandon. He would be my partner in making it out alive . Our mutual love of horror is what bound us close together as brother and sister. I miss him terribly, but he is always with me in spirit. Come on David, let’s win this !!
