The Evolution of Horror
Mike Muncer
Show overview
The Evolution of Horror has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 426 episodes, alongside 90 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 660 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 11th season.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 18m and 1h 55m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 3 days ago, with 31 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Mike Muncer.
