And is a monumental pain to desolder, so do it right!

It's almost Halloween so resurecting this thread doesn't seem too frivolous...
I have a similar situation where I need to connect two PCBs at 90 degrees with 8 connections between them... but in my situation I need to be able to plug/unplug them, for maintenance/repair without de-soldering.
Given my PCBs are FR4 is there a suitable card connector I could put on one board into which fingers on the other board would insert?  (Like in the old S-100/Eurocard days)
(I looked at 2.54mm female headers on one and  right angle male on the other but the geometry seems a bit variable?)
Gyro:
For so few connections, single row r/a 2.54mm headers and sockets would probably be the most appropriate and economical solution. You can get r/a connectors 2.54mm double row connectors with housings on the male part if you're worried about alignment though.

You will almost certainly end up with spare pins though - I don't think you will find anything as small as 2x4 pin.
KL27x:
If you want them to meet at a corner, flush, you could use a castellated finger/box joint.
