Tammy (also based in Louisville, Kentucky) found joy in the thrill of the unknown from a very young age. Her grandpa’s stories of bloody buckets, ghost cars, and other spooky tales sparked her lifelong love for horror. The adrenaline rush from fear became a feeling she cherished, shaping a significant part of who she was.
Her passion for all things horror was evident, with Michael Myers being her favorite character by far. She also had a deep interest in the behind-the-scenes aspects of horror, particularly in how haunts were built and operated. It was a dream of hers to one day be involved in creating those experiences.
Horror movies, haunts, and anything paranormal were not just pastimes for Tammy; they were integral to her identity. In 2003, she had the opportunity to work as an actor at Industrial Nightmare, where she honed her skills in scaring people, making them cry with fear, something she took great pride in. She spent four memorable seasons there, considering it the best job she ever had.
When her beautiful daughter came into her life, Tammy took a step back to focus on motherhood, which she described as the most rewarding unpaid job she ever had. Her daughter became her greatest achievement, and as she grew older and more independent, Tammy found herself with a bit more time to rekindle her passion for horror.
Tammy balances her love for horror with her career as a referral coordinator at a children’s hospital, a role she finds both stressful and rewarding. She is also a dedicated all-star and school cheer mom, supporting her daughter in all her endeavors.
She feels incredibly fortunate to be part of The Scare Factor, where she looks forward to many more scares and, as she would say with a laugh, “Maybe a little moisture.”
