Thank you to Lionel for recommending “The Man Who Sold His Soul” from the South African series Beyond Midnight! This story explains the strange stain eight feet off the ground on the wall of an abandoned ruin in an Irish countryside. It is the tale of Sir Dominic, a wastrel nobleman who strikes a diabolical bargain. Is there any hope for his redemption? Will your pants fly off at midnight? Do you need to hear this BioTex dance remix? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

I’ve listened to a few Springbok shows – primarily the Avengers and Jet Jungle – and most of the commercials range from mildly irritating to excruciatingly annoying. The BioTex ad is no exception, but I think the Black Cat Peanut Butter ads are still the worst.
Excellent! Something horrible to look forward to!
I’m eight months behind with this comment, but I’m just getting caught up on episodes that had “aired” (podded?) before I was aware of your podcast. I greatly enjoyed this creepy story — and the chants of “Just soak; just soak in Biotex” were even more terrifying!
Since you didn’t mention it, this story was an adaptation of “Sir Dominick’s Bargain” by Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, author of “Carmilla.” The framing sequence was also in the original story. It’s an extremely faithful adaptation, with a lot of the dialogue being almost word-for-word.
Hearing the horrible dead voices chanting “Just Soak Just Soak In Biotex” puts the fear of damnation in my soul.
