What draws you to the darkness?

In my life, I have faced my own darkness and not only survived, but thrived. That is thanks to a life spent watching horror movies. In addition to making me a more practical thinker, it has made me stronger, and more able to cope with almost anything that life throws my way. And with the things I've seen, it has helped me a great deal. Darkness is also an essential part of our world and our lives. There is light and darkness in all of us, and in our physical world.

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

I have a good idea of what to look for. If situations are questionable from the start, it's time to get the hell out. And if I'm already deep into anything, I know how to be aware of my surroundings, what and who my resources are, and I'm persistent. Through my challenges in life, I have learned how to look at the bright side of all circumstances and that you should always keeps moving forward. And I know avoid running up the stairs if there's a door I can escape out of.

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

My husband and I are opening a horror shop where we live. The money would go to building that up. In addition to selling items, we will also host community spooky/horror themed events. We aim to be a place where horror fans can find items for their spooky homes and collections. But, also a place where they can belong to a happy local horror community, see new movies (with our film events), and engage with like minded people who are upstanding citizens who love to horror movies, music, books etc.
