Been hyping up the horror renaissance for the last 8 years starting with my fav Hereditary, love horror as it produces original films
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?
Most recently Halloween 2025, where me and the love of my life dressed up as a Cop and Criminal, dancing at a Halloween themed club with all the ghouls!
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d make it to the end of a horror movie by three simple tools: Common Sense, Agility/Speed, and Especially Silence. When you can move around place to place with great speed, not making noises, and have the brains… No Doubt you can achieve any ending in a horror movie.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I would pay the love of my life’s esthetician school, as one of her dreams is to own/manage her own business. She’s the absolute love of my life as I would love to give it all back to her, to support her dream. Of course: Set aside a vacation for me and her if money left over.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
No other than my Horror Loving Baby. She’s a die hard horror buff, as being able to survive a horror movie with her would be absolutely cinematic and a dream come true
