Hello everyone I’m the host of The THING about Films Podcast, where horror movies aren’t just reviewed—they’re dissected, celebrated, and sometimes lovingly roasted. My love for all things horror runs deep, from cult slashers and grindhouse gore to atmospheric ghost stories that keep you up at night. When I’m not behind the mic, I’m hunting down obscure VHS tapes, debating which decade had the best practical effects, or rewatching classics just to catch the details I missed the first dozen times. Horror isn’t just a genre for me—it’s a way of life, a dark and thrilling lens through which I see the world… preferably in dim lighting with creepy music playing in the background.

Jessica’s obsession didn't start in a theater; it started in a wood-paneled basement in the late 90s. While other kids were watching cartoons, Jessica was sneaking peaks at her older brother’s "hidden" shelf of horror rentals. The moment she saw Freddy Krueger emerge from a wall in A Nightmare on Elm Street, she wasn't terrified—she was fascinated. By the time she hit her teens, she had memorized every kill count in the Friday the 13th franchise and could explain the practical effects of the Cenobites in Hellraiser better than her chemistry homework.

Quotes:

“Horror isn’t just about the ghost in the closet; it’s about the craft, the practical effects, and the three-month long night shoots that drive a crew mad. I’m here to show you the scars behind the screams.”

“If the audience doesn’t care about the victim, the kill doesn’t matter.”
