Long Night in Egypt

Introducing London After Midnight with part one of this two-part program. Five years before our story begins, wealthy Englishman Roger Balfour committed suicide at his country estate. But there are those in his family who harbor dark suspicions… especially in light of the new tenants… who you’ll meet soon enough. Considered the Holy Grail of silent cinema, the last known copy of London After Midnight was destroyed in 1965. And now for the first time in decades, Pocket Universe Productions, AudioMarvels, and Monkey Basket Entertainment presents this lost classic as an experience for the ears, adapted from the original screenplay. And... whatever you do... don't give away the ending!

The Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara has been standing since 2375 BCE. Its interior walls are covered in the Pyramid Texts — the oldest religious writings ever discovered, designed to protect the pharaoh Unas in the afterlife and to keep what's inside, inside. Samira has her father's stolen key. The group has had too much to drink. The plan is happening. They cross the desert to Saqqara, enter the pyramid, and descend into darkness. Behind them, the door closes — on its own, unprovoked, with no one near it. Episode 03 of Long Night in Egypt is the point of no return. The mythology of the Pyramid Texts comes alive in the sound design, the architecture, and the slow realization that the group has entered somewhere they were never supposed to be. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.

Kayla is still sitting on her secret — the book glows, and she doesn't know why. Meanwhile, Uncle Abasi and Aunt Rania, Cairo archaeologists with access to the great ancient sites, welcome the group with a feast and the stories of the old gods: the Ennead, the nine deities at the center of ancient Egyptian theology, and the Pyramid of Unas — a monument so old it contains the earliest religious texts ever written. Samira is paying close attention. A plan is forming. After dinner, she takes the group out clubbing in Cairo. Tomorrow is the official pyramid tour. What happens after midnight is still being decided. Episode 02 of Long Night in Egypt builds the world: the mythology, the family dynamics, and the slow drip of dread that comes from knowing something is wrong with a book that shouldn't be able to glow. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.

Four archaeology students from the University of Chicago arrive in Cairo for spring break — and before they've even landed, something is wrong. Kayla, the Egyptophile of the group, discovers that the ancient book of maps she brought along has writing inside it that glows in the dark. She doesn't tell anyone. Not yet. Long Night in Egypt is an eight-part horror audio drama built on real Egyptian mythology — the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, the same sacred writings that lined the tomb of Pharaoh Unas at Saqqara. Episode 01 introduces Kayla, Mo, Jordan, and Pia as they arrive in Cairo and are met by Mo's cousins Samira and Amr, whose family holds the keys — literally — to the ancient sites. One of those cousins already has a plan. Directed by Jack Bowman. Written by Sarah Pitard. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.
