| 0:00.0 | The Hello and |
| 0:17.0 | welcome to a very special bonus episode of the evolution of horror. |
| 0:21.0 | My name is Mike and as ever I am your host. Now usually on |
| 0:25.7 | this podcast we explore and dissect the evolution and history of the horror genre by |
| 0:30.7 | looking at particular sub-genres across several weeks. However, we are currently in a little |

| 1:37.2 | spoiler free section at the beginning before giving you a spoiler warning and then getting into the nitty gritty and |
| 1:44.0 | discussing the plot details. In the spoiler free section we don't even really |
| 1:48.4 | reveal the plot because I know a lot of people have kind of tried to stay as |
| 1:52.3 | unsullied as possible when it comes to |
| 1:54.8 | mid-summer. They don't want to know anything. People have avoided reading plot |
