Halloween lets me be creative, a little dramatic, and completely myself. Give me a great hat and an idea, and I’ll make the costume happen!
We would like to thank you for supporting Veronica Jara in this year's competition.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My favorite Halloween memory is dressing as Mary Poppins. I love creating my own costumes, especially when I can build the whole look around a fabulous hat. Mary Poppins was my favorite, but my Mad Hatter costume was definitely one of the most fun. For me, Halloween is about taking an idea and adding my own personality to it.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’m resourceful, quick on my feet, and I pay attention to what’s going on around me. Most importantly, I know better than to hear a creepy noise and go investigate it alone! I’d be the one grabbing my people, finding the smartest way out, and absolutely NOT suggesting we split up.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d turn that unlucky $13,000 into something incredibly lucky. I’d help my family, take care of some real-life expenses, save some for my future, and definitely set aside a little to celebrate. And since Halloween got me there, I’d have to create one ridiculously amazing costume!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero would be my dad. He passed away nearly 20 years ago, and I still miss him every day. If I could choose anyone to have beside me, even in a horror movie, it would be him. I’d feel like I could survive anything with my dad there, and getting one more adventure with him would mean more than I could ever put into words.
