Join Corey and Kendall as they venture into the ever-growing basement library of horror collector and Goosebumps enthusiast, Jarid. From original Tim Jacobus artwork to stacks of Bone Chillers and Fear Street, Jarid’s collection is a nostalgia-filled haven for anyone raised on ’90s kid horror. In this episode, Jarid shares his love of Goosebumps, his introduction to horror through Gremlins and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and the fascinating psychology behind why we love being scared.
Goosebumps, Gremlins, and Growing Up Horror
Jarid also explores the nature vs. nurture debate of horror fandom and digs into the catharsis horror brings, channeling his expertise as a psychology professor. Corey and Kendall reminisce about their own spooky introductions—sneaking behind the couch to watch The Exorcist and flipping through forbidden Fangoria magazines.
Key Discussion Points:
- Jarid’s one-of-a-kind Tim Jacobus painting (yes, the Goosebumps artist!)
- Why Goosebumps was groundbreaking and irresistible for kids
- Horror’s role in catharsis and releasing pent-up emotions
- The evolution of horror fandom and collecting—conventions, autographs, and wall space struggles
- Nature vs. nurture: Are we born horror fans, or is it our environment?
