What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween was the year I went all out as a classic, full-glam vampire, complete with custom FX makeup that made my neighbors genuinely double-take. Walking my son through the neighborhood while he showed off his costume, we ended up in a yard where the homeowner had set up a legit haunted maze. My dog joined us dressed like a tiny skeleton, and between the epic candy haul, the crisp autumn air, and the sheer chaos of the night, it was pure magic.

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

I’d survive because I’m the person who actually checks the backseat before getting in the car, never investigates strange noises in a dark basement, and refuses to split up from the group to "check the fuse box." Plus, working retail during the holiday rush has prepared me to handle sudden emergencies, chaotic crowds, and unreasonable monsters with absolute calm. You can't out-maneuver someone who has survived Black Friday at full capacity.

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

Winning $13,000 would be life-changing! First, I’d take my partner and the boys on an unforgettable family vacation—probably a massive trip to somewhere they've been dying to visit, packed with awesome experiences. Then, I’d use the rest to treat everyone to some well-deserved fun, check off a few major family goals, and put a solid chunk straight into savings to secure our future and breathe a little easier.

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

My real-life hero I’d want by my side is my partner. He’s level-headed, fiercely protective, incredibly resourceful, and keeps me laughing even when things get stressful. If we’re stuck in a horror movie scenario, I know he’d be the one strategizing our escape route while keeping everyone calm, making him the ultimate final-girl (and guy) companion.
