| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the evolution of horror. |
| 0:24.6 | My name is Mike Munser and as ever I am your host. |
| 0:27.7 | If you're tuning in for the first time, then welcome, usually on this podcast we look |
| 0:31.6 | at the history and the evolution of the horror genre by looking at particular subgenres |
| 0:36.1 | one series at a time. |
| 0:38.3 | We are currently in the middle of our eighth season exploring the evolution of the Vampire |
| 0:42.4 | movie and new episodes in that Vampire series and drop every single Friday, but this week |

| 2:00.0 | That's right, so be prepared before you enter the world of pink flamingos. |
