Welcome to episode #76 of My Haunted Head. With spring in the air, it's well and truly sandal season! So to celebrate, we’re gonna talk about a group of films which don’t get nearly enough respect - the sword and sandal films of the 1980’s. Get ready for long-haired barbarian warriors, prophecies, maidens in distress, fallen kingdoms, epic quests, evil priests, mystical creatures, enchanted swords, extra-terrestrials, bands of misfit fighters and spell-casting demigods.
