| 0:00.0 | The Hello, welcome to a little bonus episode of the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Muncer as ever I am your host. Now this week |
| 0:24.4 | sees the home entertainment release of one of the most talked about and |
| 0:28.0 | biggest horror films of the year. Longlegs. It's finally coming to |
| 0:32.0 | Blu-ray and VOD on the 21st of October. And to celebrate this, I got the chance to sit down and chat to one of the stars of the film, |

| 1:36.4 | We talk a little bit about her career to date. |

| 1:51.7 | I will say actually, spoiler alert for Twin Peaks in this |
