A few years ago the people who invent buzz words and phrases stole the title of a horror script I wrote and used it to describe something that already has a perfectly good name.

The Brain Drain was going to be a film about an elite team of zombie commandos sent to kill an evil zombie terrorist who’d harvested every human brain on the planet – the script assumes that in an alternate and ironic and awful future, humans could be reduced to the role of cows – using a super vacuum called “The Brain Drain” as a way of starving the free zombie world and leveraging absolute power to himself. The story is loosely based on a rainy Saturday night when the family wagon broke down and we were forced to sleep behind a Flying J in Frackville, Pa.
