Hello everybody Mike here just a quick heads up before we get into this week's

0:04.0

episode a little announcement to say that this is going to be the last episode of

0:08.4

evolution of horror for a while we're going to be taking a little mid-season break we're not going to be gone for long. We will be back

0:16.0

hopefully by the end of October, but the next few weeks are pretty hectic. There's a

0:21.5

lot going on. I'm in the middle of a big house move and various

0:25.2

other bits and pieces which means that unfortunately we just do not have the time to churn out

0:30.5

weekly episodes over the next few weeks. However, as I mentioned we will be back

0:35.9

prior to the spookiest day of the year at some point just before Halloween to continue our

0:41.6

journey through the mind and body series.

0:45.0

But have no fear if you are a Patreon subscriber, you will continue to receive weekly episodes.

1:47.8

LA with his beautiful wife Renee. On paper everything great, but something's troubling Fred.

1:56.2

He's suffering from constant headaches.

1:58.8

He's receiving strange ominous videotapes in the mail, and he's becoming increasingly suspicious that his wife

2:05.9

might be deceiving him. But it's one particular morning when a mysterious stranger comes to his door with a message

2:15.9

that Fred finds himself slowly but surely descending into a world of pain, paranoia and madness. Join me as we continue our journey through the mind and body and we discuss two explorations of male madness,

We've met before, haven't we?
