October's end draws near—and so once again it's time to
pull the old switcheroo with Brennan Klein, the finest human being I
know not related to me by blood or sexual intercourse! And so shall it ever be: while Brennan reviews three wonderful Cardboard Science classics over at Popcorn Culture, handpicked by yours truly for their moral uprightness and fine craftsmanship, we intend to wallow in whatever sleaze and gore that Brennan's deemed fit for me to review, in the form of three entries from Brennan's centerpiece feature, the increasingly-complete encyclopedia of the 1980s' slasher phenomenon that he calls Census Bloodbath. But we take our duties seriously here, and, as usual, I'm having a blast.
