  • Show #3: Hellraiser 5-9

    Chris and Myron conclude their look at the Hellraiser franchise with the much-maligned straight-to-DVD sequels Inferno, Hellseeker, Deader, Hellworld and Revelations, plus the usual tangents such as Chris' suggestion for a Rob Zombie remake. Contains spoilers and swearing.

  • Show #1: Demons/Demons 2
    On the very first Ancient Slumber Podcast Chris and Myron discuss Lamberto Bava's gonzoid classic Demons and its gloopy follow-up Demons 2, plus a few tangents here and there.
    BE WARNED - this was really a test show to see how we got on and is very rough around the edges but we thought the discussion was good so we wanted to put it out. It was also recorded a while back and there are some time sensitive things mentioned which may not make sense now. Contains spoilers and Chris' filthy potty mouth.

  • Ancient Slumber Podcast Show #40: Catch-Up & Friend of the World
    The chaps are back in town! Well, they're back behind their microphones after a lengthy hiatus where they discuss a few movies that were shown at this year's FrightFest, the brainstorm a found-footage serial killer idea, review indie arthouse movie Friend of the World and lay down their plans for the future of the show. There is plenty of laughter and merriment as Chris and Myron hook up again after a few months away so strap in, don't mind the foul and disgusting language, and please accept our apologies for some of the intermittent sound issues. At least they're still as shambolic as ever...
