  • Episode 11: Grease Painted Marauders of Mayhem and The Drive-In Theater Special: Death at the Drive-In

    There’s a candy-painted punch buggy car that keeps driving down my street. The driver is dressed like a clown, but...but that’s unrelated isn’t it? Isn’t it? It has to be. Welcome to the Sleepaway Podcast! Today Joe discusses a highly underreported topic of The Valley Drive-In Murder and Ben follows the threads of Phantom Clowns all the way to the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, Illinois. So stay close to the fire because it won’t be any easier sleeping tonight. Will it?

  • Episode 10: The Nickname to Haunt Us and The Live Action Wolf Among Us

    Did a nickname haunt you through school? I guarantee it wasn’t as bad as Septic Tank Sam, the focus of Joe’s segment today. The demonic laughter is gone from last week, but has anyone heard the howling on the side of the road? Just me? Cool. Ben takes everyone to Elkhorn, Wisconsin to discuss the mysterious (not Bigfoot) cryptid haunting Bray Road. Better stay close to the fire because sleeping won’t be any easier.

  • Episode 9: How to Not Collect Evidence and Madeleines are More Than a Cookie

It might be dark outside, but it’s warm by the fire!
