My Horror History – Episode 09: Lucy Parkes – From Atmosfear Nights to Jigsaw-Level Game Mastery

<p>In this ninth episode of <em>My Horror History</em>, I’m joined by my brilliant friend <strong>Lucy Parkes</strong>, whose horror journey began not with a film, but with the iconic VHS board game <strong>Atmosfear</strong> — a gateway that sparked a lifelong love of spooky stories, eerie characters, and anything that blends play with pure terror.</p><p>We dive into the games, books, films, and TV shows that shaped her tastes, from the unsettling worlds of <strong>Resident Evil</strong>, <strong>Silent Hill</strong>, and <strong>The Last of Us</strong>, to the chilling imagination of <strong>Dean Koontz</strong>. Lucy shares the movies that left their mark on her — from childhood frights like <strong>Dolly Dearest</strong> and <strong>Carrie</strong>, to classics such as <strong>Halloween H20</strong>, <strong>The Shining</strong>, <strong>Scream</strong>, <strong>The Blair Witch Project</strong>, <strong>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre</strong>, <strong>The Fly</strong>, <strong>Hellraiser</strong>, <strong>Candyman</strong>, and <strong>Final Destination</strong>.</p><p>We also explore the characters and performances that stuck with her: <strong>Pennywise</strong>, <strong>Sidney Prescott</strong>, <strong>Hannibal Lecter</strong>, the survivors of <strong>The Walking Dead</strong>, the iconic casts of <strong>Buffy</strong> and <strong>Stranger Things</strong>, and the unforgettable presence of <strong>Psycho</strong>, <strong>The Birds</strong>, <strong>Jaws</strong>, <strong>Alien</strong>, <strong>Child’s Play</strong>, <strong>IT</strong>, <strong>Saw</strong>, <strong>Hereditary</strong>, and the new nightmare fuel that is <strong>Longlegs</strong>.</p><p>And of course, we talk about Lucy’s dream horror role — stepping into the shoes of <strong>Jigsaw from </strong><em><strong>Saw</strong></em> — the ultimate master of games.</p><p>It’s a lively, nostalgic, and wonderfully geeky conversation about how horror shapes us, why certain stories stay with us forever, and the joy of finding your people in the horror community.</p><p>Follow the show on Instagram: <strong>@myhorrorhistory.pod</strong> Get in touch: <strong>myhorrorhistory.pod@gmail.com</strong> Want to share your story or come on the show?
