In this episode, after spending two films nostalgically looking back to the golden age of slashers Jason has decided to take us back to the heart of that era with his pick. Amid a flood of slasher sequels and imitators, join us as we check out Edward Hunt’s Bloody Birthday from 1981. Dustin weighs the effectiveness of the scenes with children committing murder contrasted to the film’s lack of gore. Jason champions the film for its unique qualities where it decides to break from the conventional slasher formula. But before all that, it’s the nail in the coffin on the Muckverse as Jason weighs in his final thoughts on Kill Her Goats. And so much more!
