My Horror History – Episode 10: Tia Jackson (The Alien Effect) – Shared 'Scream' Trauma and Blimey, Bruce Campbell!

<p>In this milestone tenth episode of <strong>My Horror History</strong>, I’m joined by the wonderful <strong>Tia Jackson</strong> from <strong>The Alien Effect</strong> podcast. Tia takes us on a journey through a life lived in the shadows, tracing her love for the genre from the moment it first crawled out of the grave to the moment it truly got its claws into her.</p><p>We dive deep into her formative years, from the gateway terrors of <strong>Goosebumps</strong> and <strong>Bone Chillers</strong> to the absolute game-changer that was <strong>Scream</strong>. Tia shares how childhood nightmares were famously fueled by <strong>Jaws</strong>, which eventually evolved into a deep appreciation for horror masterpieces like <strong>Aliens</strong>, <strong>The Menu</strong>, <strong>A Quiet Place</strong>, and <strong>Companion</strong>.</p><p>Our conversation covers the full spectrum of horror—from the high-octane gore of <strong>Saw 2</strong> to the atmospheric dread of <strong>The Blair Witch Project</strong>. We also celebrate the &quot;fun&quot; side of fear, discussing cult favorites like <strong>Shaun of the Dead</strong>, <strong>Tucker &amp; Dale vs Evil</strong>, <strong>From Dusk Till Dawn</strong>, and <strong>Cabin in the Woods</strong>.</p><p>Tia also opens up about the characters and icons that define her history, including <strong>Hannibal Lecter</strong>, <strong>Clarice Starling</strong>, and the legendary <strong>Kathy Bates</strong>. Plus, she tells the incredible story of meeting the &quot;God of Horror&quot; himself, <strong>Bruce Campbell</strong>, at <strong>Walker Stalker Con</strong>—and the bold one-liner that left Ash Williams in stitches!</p><p>Whether you’re a fan of <strong>Stranger Things</strong>, <strong>The Walking Dead</strong>, or the psychological tension of <strong>Psycho</strong>, this episode is a love letter to the community.</p><p><strong>Support the show &amp; join the community:</strong> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/MyHorrorHistory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">patreon.com/cw/MyHorrorHistory</a> (It’s free to join!)</p><p><strong>Follow the show on Socials:</strong> @myhorrorhistory.pod<strong>Get in touch:</strong> myhorrorhistory.pod@gmail.com<strong>Want to share your story or come on the show?</strong> Message me anytime.</p><p>#horrorpodcast #horrorcommunity #BruceCampbell #TheAlienEffect #MyHorrorHistory #Scream #Goosebumps #BoneChillers #Jaws #IT #Saw #AQuietPlace #FromDuskTillDawn #CabinInTheWoods #TheMenu #Weapons #Companion #ShaunOfTheDead #TuckerAndDaleVsEvil #BodiesBodiesBodies #BlairWitch #StrangerThings #TheWalkingDead #WalkerStalkerCon #HannibalLecter #ClariceStarling #KathyBates #Aliens #Psycho #Hysteria</p><p></p>
