In this milestone tenth episode of My Horror History, I’m joined by the wonderful Tia Jackson from The Alien Effect 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.We dive deep into her formative years, from the gateway terrors of Goosebumps and Bone Chillers to the absolute game-changer that was Scream.

My Horror History – Episode 09: Lucy Parkes – From Atmosfear Nights to Jigsaw-Level Game Mastery
In this ninth episode of My Horror History, I’m joined by my brilliant friend Lucy Parkes, whose horror journey began not with a film, but with the iconic VHS board game Atmosfear — a gateway that sparked a lifelong love of spooky stories, eerie characters, and anything that blends play with pure terror.We dive into the games, books, films, and TV shows that shaped her tastes, from the unsettling worlds of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and The Last of Us, to the chilling imagination of Dean Koontz. Lucy shares the movies that left their mark on her — from childhood frights like Dolly Dearest and Carrie, to classics such as Halloween H20, The Shining, Scream, The Blair Witch Project, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Fly, Hellraiser, Candyman, and Final Destination.We also explore the characters and performances that stuck with her: Pennywise, Sidney Prescott, Hannibal Lecter, the survivors of The Walking Dead, the iconic casts of Buffy and Stranger Things, and the unforgettable presence of Psycho, The Birds, Jaws, Alien, Child’s Play, IT, Saw, Hereditary, and the new nightmare fuel that is Longlegs.And of course, we talk about Lucy’s dream horror role — stepping into the shoes of Jigsaw from Saw — the ultimate master of games.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.Follow the show on Instagram: @myhorrorhistory.pod Get in touch: myhorrorhistory.pod@gmail.com Want to share your story or come on the show?

In this eighth episode of My Horror History, I’m joined by the brilliant, warm, and wonderfully horror‑obsessed Sam Munster from the Horror Hyperfixation podcast! Sam’s journey into the genre began in the most nostalgic way possible — with the Goosebumps books that first sparked her imagination — and has grown into a deep love for everything from creature features to slashers to modern gothic storytelling.We trace her horror roots from childhood frights to the films and characters that shaped her tastes today, including the chaotic fun of Hatchet, the emotional power of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and the iconic presence of Pinhead and the Hellraiser universe. Sam also shares the movies that unsettled her, surprised her, or left a lasting mark — from Martyrs to Possum, Scream 5, Insidious, and beyond.It’s a lively, thoughtful, and often hilarious conversation about how horror becomes part of who we are, why certain stories stay with us, and the joy of finding “your people” in the horror community.Recommended listens: Horror Hyperfixation PodcastSam Munster on social media: @sma.munsterFollow the show on Instagram: @myhorrorhistory.pod Get in touch: myhorrorhistory.pod@gmail.com Want to share your story?
