When I first heard Andrew Bryniarski suggested that CineDump's Jason Howard "suck Gunnar's dead nutz" I knew I had to see what this guy was about. Plus, I like Batman Returns, so why not give Leatherface 2.0 the time of day, right? The following is a messenger exchange I had with Andrew concerning his recent status updates and reaction to Gunnar Hansen's death.

Obviously, we are all aware that with Night of the Living Dead and it's follow ups, George Romero created zombies as we know them. Sure, they've been around much longer than Romero himself, but we hadn't yet quite settled on a prototype for what it is that makes them so scary. Romero, unknowingly, took what little we knew about zombies, and gave them a personality and a pack mentality that is more prevalent now than ever.

Rather than go the typical route of listing the best slasher or best vampire, I figured we'd try to do something a little different. Please feel free to comment below on any that you may feel have been left off my list.
Read MoreHalf Shell: Exclusive TMNT2 Set Photos

I tend to stay away from the issues and political discussions, but I feel I must, at the risk of sacrificing my silly reputation, get very serious with you, the reader, for a moment. It’s something that, I’m sure, has been on all of our minds for ages, but I feel I may be the first one willing to step up and speak out, even in the face of very serious personal risk.

If you're reading my work here in chronological order, the last thing of mine you saw was a very impassioned and, perhaps, somewhat drunkenly emotional plea to end gender stereotyping in the horror community.
