Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween moments are the ones where I transform myself with makeup and special effects and become a completely different character. I love the reactions, the creativity, and that feeling of looking in the mirror and thinking, “I really did that!” Halloween gives me the freedom to be fearless, weird, glamorous, and scary all at once.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d make it to the end because I’d never be the one saying, “Let’s split up!” I’m observant, I trust my gut, I stay calm under pressure, and I know when it’s time to run. Plus, I’ve watched enough horror movies to know the rules: don’t investigate strange noises, don’t touch creepy stuff, and NEVER go into the basement alone!
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d turn the unlucky $13,000 into something unforgettable! I’d invest in my makeup and special-effects artistry, create an epic Halloween experience, and put some away for the future. If $13,000 is supposed to be unlucky, I’m definitely going to make it lucky!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero is my dad. He gave me my first mannequin head to practice my makeup artistry, and he pushes me every day to keep growing and becoming better at my craft. He believes in my talent and never lets me settle. And if I had to survive a horror movie with anyone, I’d choose him—because in my eyes, my dad fears NOTHING!
