| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. A quick reminder to say that we are reaching the end of our nature bite back |
| 0:04.9 | season here on the Evolution of Horror. So as ever, I love to hear from you guys for our upcoming |
| 0:10.5 | conclusion episode. If you could drop me an email to Evolution of Horror at gmail.com or just |
| 0:16.6 | completely attached Google form, which you can find in the show notes, you can drop me your |
| 0:21.3 | feedback, your comments, your questions, anything you want to tell me about this season of the podcast, |
| 0:26.6 | and we're also inviting everybody to submit their top 10 nature bites back horror films. |
| 0:32.7 | So please do just fill out the attached Google form ASAP over the next few days if possible, |
| 0:39.0 | or drop us an email to Evolution of Horror at gmail.com. |

| 1:57.2 | using an infestation of spiders in a tower block to actually tell a story about |
| 2:03.1 | inequality and xenophobia. Join me as we conclude our journey through nature in horror, and we discuss two modern |
| 2:22.1 | animal attack classics, cruel and infested. |
| 2:31.6 | Welcome back to the evolution of horror. |
| 2:33.8 | My name is Mike Munser, and as ever, I am your host. In this podcast, we explore and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror genre, one subgenre at a time. We are currently in the midst of our 10th season exploring the evolution of nature biting back in horror. and this is part 35. It's our last |
| 2:53.9 | official double bill of the series, and as that intro suggested, we are going to be discussing |
