Priamrily because the cartoon series is a sick and twisted satire on mad science that speaks to my horrible sense of humour that I don’t want people to know about…well crap. Season one of Rick and Morty had it all: Dimensional travel, aliens, multiversal sui-homicide and a molestation. Some truly …
One is the original masked stalker, an unstoppable force of murder and mayhem. The other is the poster boy of the slasher genre, equally titanic and lethal. So what happens when they meet? Last Updated: July 3, 2015
