Jonathan Inbody
Gray Matter:
An Acid Horror Anthology Podcast
Welcome to Gray Matter Video, the only video rental store where you can find tapes telling 'true' tales of horrific transformation, bodily destruction, and death from all across the dimensional spectrum.
With a blend of original stories from author Jonathan Inbody in the proud tradition of Carpenter and Cronenberg, and modern adaptations of classic Weird Fiction tales from authors like H.P. Lovecraft
and Edgar Allan Poe, this full-cast scifi-horror anthology explores the blurred line between psychology and biology alongside the
flawed and fragile depths of human nature when faced with the hideous unknown. At Gray Matter, everything is horribly, brutally possible. Will you let it get under your skin?
Tobias Nilsson
My name's Tobias, and I'm a Swedish/Danish actor.
My main body of work has been in the theatre and
other live events. My most recognisable role is probably that of king Frederik III, a recurring role in a summer live event in the Danish castle Rosenborg.
I've also tried my hands at directing and writing, the
former being on stage, where my first show was a stage
adaptation of HPL's "The Colour out of Space", and the
latter has resulted in a couple of short stories I've put
on the blog on my webpage.

"Tranquilizer" is a cosmic/body horror short film I made with a few buddies of mine over the course of a couple of years, and it was accepted to play at the NecronomiCon (Providence, Mass.) and the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival (Portland, Or.) in the US.
My friend, also Tobias, who's the writer/director, and I went to the Portland festival to give a presentation and Q&A for the film.

Brian Karasek
I have been one of the admins for some years now on The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society Facebook group. I am also a lifetime member of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society.
I am a Star Wars and Nightmare Before Christmas cosplayer (Palpatine and Oogie Boogie, respectively). Been to two Celebrations as Palpatine and to the premieres of the last five movies on three continents (USA, Japan and the UK). Oogie has only been out for a couple Halloweens and a movie showing. I have been known to swan about in my Darth Vader suit as well.
Hi everyone! I spend my time playing bass, running Yoga and Tai Chi classes, playing board games, doing some creative writing and putting out a podcast about stuff on telly, movies, books, comics etc. Delighted to be involved in this project.
Two old friends catch up on all the stuff they love after a 20 year gap.
John Buckett
Hi! Just a bit to introduce myself: I used to be part of a theatre troupe in Quebec city when I was younger, but eventually had to find myself a steadier source of income, so I became a IT help desk technician and slowly drifted away from theatre (never lost my love for it tough).
I am now an IT analyst for the Quebec Ministry of Environment. I play, and sometimes act as a gamemaster, for various RPGs. I also am, of course, a huge fan ofI Lovecraft's work, and this opportunity allows me to renew with acting after all those years.
Alain Breton
Hi everyone. Here's a little introduction. I'm DK, and I'll be playing Giles Waterhouse in 'The Shambler From the Stars'. I hail from the North of England originally, though I've lived all over the place.
I'm a writer - short fiction mostly, primarily sci-fi/horror. I've been published several times in various anthologies since the early 2000's. I'm currently working on a novel. My favourite authors are Lovecraft (kind of a given), King and Koontz.
I'm also a podcaster and I host the Silver Screen Cult Classics show (of which we've just wrapped the first season), as well as co-hosting the regular Silver Screen show. I have a great affection for horror and sci-fi films and am more than happy to spend an afternoon watching under-appreciated (bad) B-movies.
My music tastes are pretty eclectic, ranging from Bowie and Pink Floyd to Jean-Michel Jarre, Lana Del Rey, Gunship, Kavinsky and Metric.
I'm also an avid gamer - both tabletop and videogames. Ironically enough it was my introduction to the Call of Cthulhu RPG that initially got me hooked on the mythos (closely followed by the movie 'From Beyond'). Videogame-wise, I stick to survival horror for the most part (and typing this, I'm beginning to see a theme).
I'm really happy to be part of this production and glad to meet you all.

Ryan Moore
I'm Ryan, essentially native to Pennsylvania but currently working in Vegas, doing Shakespeare since 1999 and the occasional non-Shakespeare play. I've even appeared in an indie film or two. I hold degrees in Electronics, Computer Science, and English. Professionally I've done radio/NAVAID maintenance and software development. A few of my interests include Lovecraft, TTRPGs, and video games.
With Cecil.
A flock of well-read birds.
Matt Sielewicz-Stanhope
Hello everyone, I’m Matt. For the credits in the show I’ll go by Matthew Sielewicz-Stanhope because if you have a slightly ridiculous and unique name, you might as well use it.
I found Lovecraft in my school library in 1996 and I really think Miss Banks should return him to his grave. I read Ecclesiastical History and Theology at St Andrews, with astrophysics as an outside, so I’ve been rather disappointed that my own tale of personal horror has yet to manifest.
Particularly during a term when I couldn’t get lodging in the town and I lived in St Monans, which is a small fishing village in a cleft, accessed by a rickety bus where the only other drunken passenger got off at Crail. The inhabitants of St Monans look rather similar and they have a boat in one of the churches.
I don’t think the Deep Ones wanted me…
Mainly by blind luck I found my way into professional opera where I spent six happy years and one miserable year, the latter due sadly to most of my family passing suddenly.
I don’t think the cultists wanted me…
After retiring from the professional stage and getting myself back together, I resurrected myself as a music tutor, and slowly went completely parrots. I currently have eleven.
I made my own cult…
Nowadays the work, the parrots, an interest in martial arts and the perpetration of musical theatre in public places with malice aforethought (often Gilbert and Sullivan) take up much of my time. I’m another avid reader with quite an extensive library, some of it chewed by parrots.
I live in Edinburgh, right on the coast on the opposite side and further east of St Monans. Perhaps the Deep Ones will change their minds?
Dom Richards
Hi, I’m Dom and I am new to the world of audio dramas, but I have been a horror fan since a (far too) young age. I have been a fan of Lovecraft’s work ever since I first picked up a collection of his stories from my local bookstore when I was around 15. Ever since then I have been obsessed with anything Lovecraft and/or Lovecraftian
I am currently working on my own cosmic horror anthology which I hope to have finished soon! And I have a few more exciting projects in the early stages of planning.

John Holmes
around 2,500 books, all of which I have read at least once; the jewel in my collection being the Suntup edition of Clive Barkers Imajica. Clive is my spirit guide of an author, but I do have a super soft spot for Lovecraft, as well as Alan Moore, Robert Anton Wilson, R.Scott Bakker, Grant Morrison and Charles Fort.
Speaking of Charles, I have been pretty much a lifelong fan of the Fortean Times, and it is Forteana that I would pick as a specialist subject if I were ever to appear on Mastermind, I know so much more about UFOs, Ghosts, Conspiracies and the like than is good for me.
Just to throw people off the scent, I have also been a mad keen football fan throughout my life, supporting Manchester City and have seen the bizarre and heartwarming rise from them being the poo also-rans in Manchester to their preeminent rise to the very top of world football, which has been quite the trip.

Hi everyone, I'm John, and write cosmic horror and dark fantasy under the nom de plume Holden Leigh as my given name is that of a very famous porn star!
I live in Manchester, England and have done so for most of my life, except when I lived (and totally fell in love with) on the Isle of Man for a decade (my 20s). That decade produced my Manxie son, Conaire Asarlai, (who was conceived on the last day of the millennium TMI?) whom I still dote upon with every fibre of my being all these years later.
I spent my teenage years as a singer in a rock band and adore music, in which I have a very eclectic taste that veers from Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Bjork, grunge and rock right through to Ektomorf and other noisy people (the commonality seemingly being good lyricists) but my absolute favourites are Pearl Jam and Brad. (I doubt you have heard about Brad, and if not I heartily recommend that you have a listen.)A massive bibliophile, I have a converted attic that stores my collection of
Jorge Williams
As suggested, a little introduction. Hello, I'm Jorge, I live on an island on the west coast of Scotland.
I'm a Heathen (I worship the Aesir) and this photo was from when I got to see my favourite band Heilung live in January.
I love Weird Fiction and reading in general, my favourite authors are Lovecraft, Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Algernon Blackwood, William H Hodgeson, Poe, Cormac McCarthy, Ernest Hemmingway, Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke, etc. etc. etc (you get the idea). I like to draw and dabble in writing my own weird fiction also.
I'm chuffed to be doing the narration on the Promos for the podcast! Now I have a regular role as 'Carl Chandler, a member of the Department for Para-Scientific Research.
Samantha Underhill
Most of my publications are scientific in nature but I have published fiction and poetry. Very fortunate to have published my own book of poems and have poetry and short stories in Weird Tales, Weird House, and others. Most recent supernatural story in House of Haunts.
I’ve also had voicework in a number of arenas, but most heavily with BBV Productions.

Silver Screen Podcast (now Silver Screen Movie Group), is a film review podcast hosted by Michael Wilson & the enigmatic D.K Sellers (also an IIFI cast member), joined by a bevy of guests. In roughly 60-90 mins they'll discuss a film they love, hate or love to hate, introducing films to a new audience, discussing their favourites and rating out of five stars.This group is an extension of the podcast where cinephiles and film fans get together to discuss movies. Whilst there will naturally be promotion and talk about those movies featured on the podcast this is not a prerequisite and the group is also intended as a place for all who wish to share a love of any and all movies.
Exploring the tin mines - and Zombie Cat!
Catrin Jones
Hi I’m Cat. For the credits in the show I go by Catrin Jones, but as this is usually pronouced as Cathryn, I'll stick with Cat. I'm Welsh born and bred from a small town outstide of Cardiff.
I do a bit of photography, and exploring derelict places, love my allotment and chickens, and brew a bit of wine and mead on the side as well as gaming, RPG, PC and board. This is my first time doing a podcast, and I hope to do it proud.
​
Editor's Note:
​
Catrin has taken over the role of Sylvia Grant, formerly played by Samantha Underhill in 'The Shambler From the Stars'.
​
She's also been a great help as an editor, and has co-written short episodes - we like to call them minisodes.
​
More recently, she has also taken on the job of reading the end credits for the 'Dagon: Epilogues' series.
​
Who knows what she'll be doing next!
​
...and as one who's sampled the wine, it's mighty fine!
Neil James Rhind
Neil Rhind has been doctored by Edinburgh University for work on the deceased polymath Alasdair Gray. He therefore has OPINIONS about Poor Things, and has shared them, and others, in The Scottish Literary Review, The International Review of Scottish Studies, and The International Journal of Scottish Literature. A contributor to Poetry Scotland, Apricity, Eemis Stane, Coffin Bell, Punt Volat, and others, his work has appeared in thematic anthologies on scientists, Satanists, and, most recently, cephalopods (Three Hearts: An Anthology of Cephalopod Poetry, World Enough Writers, 2024).
Prof. Ronald Hutton has said of Rhind's vanity published encyclopaedia of demons, Ars Pandemonium:
“A labour of love (and perhaps of possession), and also a work of remarkable eclectic erudition, by a thoroughly competent poet.”
Ron McKay, of Scotland On Sunday, has said of Rhind's earlier work: “Onanist”
​
It should be clear which Ron is a better judge of art.
​
Rhind's Ars, and several other collections, are available from Amazon. His 72 sonnet semi-Lovecraftian tribute to axolotls, Fun Guy From Xochimilco, is downloadable for free; just click on the picture below.
Cole Brew
A man with a lot of patience, he answered a call for cast members when we were making 'The Shambler from the Stars'. Unfortunately, we'd filled all the roles, so I asked if he'd be willing to wait for our next podcast. He was rewarded with the role of Dylan Finley, an Innsmouth native, and Paul Latimer, an RAF Squadron Leader.​
​
Cole will also be taking on the task of reading the credits through the next series, 'The Colour out of Space.
Lynn McKinnon
Hailing from the Wee County, Clackmannanshire, Scotland and living in England for over twenty years, bringing up two kids (both now taller than me lol) and happily married to my wonderful husband, Steven. Cat parent to a cuddly yet utterly ruthless Void huntress who loves eating birds (urgh) and a bright red hair dye user to hide the gathering grey having an 18 year old daughter on the Spectrum, advocating as well for full independence and a better support system for those who need that additional help to adjust. Life is fun and never, ever boring! To my surprise, I was selected for publication by PTSD UK in a poetry anthology (I live with PTSD), have written poetry and short stories on and off for years but now have more creative freedom for new projects and interests. Having had one poem published late teens about Dunblane, I haven’t had anything in print for years until now and wasn’t confident enough to try. As my husband says, ‘Onwards and upwards…’ and he’s right. The sky’s the limit!

​
We're looking forward to giving Debbie larger roles in upcoming podcasts.​
Victoria and Matt Hughes
We were in a bit of a spot when the voice Actor who was supposed to play 'Professor Quaterman' had to back out due to... life! Thank goodness we found a wonderfully talented lady to take the roll.
​
He husband, Matt, who is a professional sound designer, volunteered to help with the production to keep us on schedule, and also took on a role in the final episode.
Both of these lovely people have become important fixtures in our podcasts.
​
Benedict Daniels
​Benedict Daniels - One of the first voices you hear in 'The Shambler from the Stars', Benedict played the role of Henry Carlson, the newspaper reporter, friend of Eoghan Blakewell. He did such a good job of it, that we wanted him - and the character - back!​
Kelly Sellars​​​​​
The last addition to the cast, we were very pleased to find that she was just what we needed for a character in the final episode of 'Dagon'! We hope she'll return for our next podcast series.
Tara Glover
Another member of our Edinburgh group. She was a nurse in 'The Shambler from the Stars' and a hospital domestic in 'Dagon'. Maybe we can get her out of the hospital in our next podcast!
Heather L O'Neill
Heather L O'Neil - One of our American voice actors, Heather played the part of DPSR Security Lady Liz Byford in 'Dagon'.​
Kala Rao
An old friend of the producer's, she asked to take part in the podcast, so I created the role of Dr. Anika Bakshi for her in 'Dagon'.
