How do you feel about Halloween or All Hallow ' s Eve ?
It ' s been my favorite holiday ever since I was a child . I used to look forward to dressing up as my favorite characters every year ( Princess Jasmine , the red Power Ranger , and of course as a vampire ), seeing the other costumes , and of course watching Disney Channel ' s " Monstober " kid-friendly horror movie marathons . ( I still rewatch some of those movies as an adult .) As I got older and through today , Halloween meant that I could buy " goth " cosmetics at Walgreens as opposed to ordering black lipstick and red eyeshadow special through the internet , and I could find cute things to decorate my home with . Halloween isn ' t a holiday for me , it ' s always been a lifestyle .
What is your favourite horror movie ? I love the classics . Despite its cheesy nature , I have to pick 1931 ' s Dracula .
Do you believe in ghosts ? Have you ever seen one ?
Yes , I do and yes , I have . My entire family has always been clairvoyant , and my mother and I are the first two clairaudients ( we can hear ghosts ). People think I ' m lying , but I saw my first ghost at age three ( three teenagers who were drunk in the road and got hit by a car ; they still walked that road every night ), and I still see them . I ' ve cleansed friends ' items ( once even a car !) of evil spirits , and my grandmother and other deceased loved ones visit my family regularly . Ghosts are a part of my daily life .
What is your ultimate costime for Halloween ? I want to dress up as Lily Munster one day , as she is my actual namesake
