Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike Munser and as ever, I am your

host. If you're tuning in for the first time, then welcome. In this podcast, we explore

and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror genre by looking at particular

subgenres 1 series at a time. This week, we conclude our journey through the evolution

of the Vampire. It's been quite a journey these last few months. This Vampire series

has spanned two monarchs, several Prime Ministers, even more Chancellors. I got married

during this series a lot of stuff has happened since we began our journey through the evolution

of the Vampire. So in this week's episode, we are simply going to be bringing the series

to an end. We're going to be looking back at everything we've learned over the last 27

weeks on the series. Mary Wilde is going to be popping in for a quick chat and then we're

going to finish the episode by reading and responding to some audience feedback from

the mailbag and then counting down your top 10 Vampire movies of all time. A big thank

you to everybody who's written in with their feedback and their top 10s. We got hundreds

and hundreds of responses. So we've collated all of the information and the feedback and

we'll be going through that later in the episode. So just a quick note to say that as

ever, this being the last episode of the series, we are now going to go on a little break,

a bit of a hiatus for a few months. Season 9 of the podcast will begin in spring 2023.
