| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munter and as ever I am your host. If you're |
| 0:22.5 | tuning in for the first time, then welcome. In this podcast, usually we explore and dissect the history |
| 0:27.7 | and the evolution of the horror genre, one subgenre at a time. We are currently in the middle of our |
| 0:32.9 | 11th season, which is exploring the evolution of man-made monsters in horror. But we're taking a |
| 0:40.0 | little hiatus in the middle of the season, a bit of a mid-season break, only because October |
| 0:45.1 | was kind of insane for me, and I'm taking a couple of weeks off. So what I thought I would do |
| 0:51.6 | instead of a regular episode this week, I would release something from the Patreon vault, a little preview of what we've got going on over on Patreon at the moment. |
| 1:00.7 | Because every year on Patreon, we do across the summer a big patron-wide poll. |
| 1:06.0 | I get all patrons, hundreds of them, to submit top tens in various different categories. So last year, |
| 1:13.0 | it was a top 10 horror movie sequels. The year before that, it was top 10 horror movie |
| 1:17.8 | performances, and we've done top 10 horror movie scares, all kinds. And I collate them into a top |
| 1:23.6 | 50 countdown. This year, as we are in 2025, we are a quarter of the way through this new |
| 1:29.6 | century. We thought we would take a little look back and ask people to submit their best horror |
| 1:34.5 | films of the 21st century so far. So that's what happened. Hundreds and hundreds of patrons |
| 1:40.6 | sent in their lists. We collated the results and began a top 50 countdown. |
| 1:46.5 | Now, this top 50 countdown is a long old thing. It spans three separate episodes. It's about |
| 1:51.5 | six hours worth of chat. And all of those episodes are available to listen to on Patreon. |
| 1:57.1 | But I thought I would give you a little teaser, a little taster to whet your appetite on that. |
| 2:01.7 | So what you're about to hear are the first 10 entries of our top 50. I was joined by the brilliant |
| 2:06.9 | Jamie Graham, and we ran through numbers 50 through to 41. We discussed our choices briefly, but we |
| 2:14.4 | do not talk about any of these films in spoiler-rific detail. This is a |
| 2:18.3 | spoiler-free chat. And don't forget, if you want to hear the rest of this top 50 countdown, |
