What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

I ruined Halloween for my 2 nephews by pulling a Michael Myers prank. Two of my sisters were Trick r Treating with my nephews, I jumped out wielding a machete with my hockey mask on...My sisters ran away, leaving my nephews behind crying (they were 5 and 7!) After that the boys always wanted to know if I was working on Halloween night to make sure I couldn't scare them again.

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

I obey the "Hollywood" rules of scary movies, and I made it 24 years as a city police officer.

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

I'd like to take a terror filled vacation, maybe the Overlook Resort from "The Shining", a haunted asylum, a castle, something unnerving!

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

Clint Eastwood. I like his survival odds.
