The Hello and welcome back to another very special bonus episode of the evolution of horror. Now usually you'll get a new

0:25.4

episode every Friday and we would be continuing our series on the evolution of the ghost story, but this is a very

0:32.4

special bonus episode that I'm putting out because this week

0:35.4

sees the UK release of a brand new fantastic genre movie called Revenge, and I was lucky
