Welcome back to the evolution of horror, my name is Mike Munter and as ever I am your host.

If you're tuning in for the first time, then welcome. In this podcast, we explore and dissect

the history and the evolution of the horror genre by looking at particular sub-jomras

one series at a time. However, this is a bonus episode because this week sees the release

of Halloween Kills and we couldn't resist the chance to cover the latest Halloween movie.

So what you're about to hear is a spoiler-free discussion of Halloween Kills. We won't

spoil any plot details, we'll just talk about our thoughts, what we thought of the movie

and where it ranks for us in the franchise as a whole. Then you're going to hear a little

Patreon. That will be available for $5 donors and upwards. The full, unedited, spoiler-rific
