Disney Meets Lovecraft in Lionsgate's 'The Little Mermaid' Horror Movie [Exclusive Trailer]

Bloody Disgusting and Cineverse will release the horror film Street Trash, a brand new spiritual sequel to the 1980s cult horror classic, on Digital outlets beginning November 19.

As part of the marketing campaign for Street Trash, we’ve taken to the streets of Los Angeles to recreate the iconic melting bodies scenes in multiple iconic horror movie filming locations!

A horrifying discovery has been made across multiple locations in LA—grisly remains of melted bodies! In each scene, a melted arm clutches a bottle of booze, surrounded by a grotesque, colorful ooze. It appears the streets are infected with the aftermath of Tenafly Viper—a cheap, lethal booze that liquefies anyone who dares drink it into a ghastly, melting mess…

Each location is connected to houses featured in iconic horror movies. The locales include:

A Nightmare on Elm Street – Springfield High School
Insidious – House
They Live – Fight Alley
Night of the Creeps – Sorority House

Check out the images below and look for Street Trash (2024) on Digital November 19!

The original Street Trash (1987) will also melt its way onto SCREAMBOX on November 19.

A reimagining of the 1987 classic, Street Trash is directed by Ryan Kruger (“Warrior,” Fried Barry), who also co-wrote the film with James C. Williamson (Fried Barry), based on the original Street Trash movie by Roy Frumkes & Jim Muro.

Kruger also stars in the film alongside Sean Cameron Michael, Donna Cormack-Thomson, Joe Vaz, Lloyd Martinez Newkirk, Shuraigh Meyer, Gary Green, and Warrick Grier.

“In the not-too-distant dystopian future of South Africa, the homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the government has decided to liquidate the problem (literally).

“It’s up to a ragtag group of homeless individuals to fight back before the entire population of homeless people is rounded up and liquefied.”

“Our reimagining of Street Trash takes place in Cape Town, South Africa where the growing divide between rich and poor has changed the world as we know it,” Kruger previews. “I was a huge fan of the original Street Trash when I was a kid, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce a whole new generation to the melted gonzo goodness that made the original such a classic.”

Shot entirely on 35mm, the film is produced by Justin Martell and Matt Manjourides of US-based studio Not the Funeral Home (“The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs”), with original Street Trash producer Roy Frumkes and director Jim Muro, along with Bad Dragon and genre film restoration outfit Vinegar Syndrome (New York Ninja), all serving as Executive Producers. Chris McGurk, Brandon Hill, Brad Miska, and Yolanda Macias Executive Produce for Cineverse.

The 1987 cult classic Street Trash was a darkly comedic and gritty horror film that has earned a dedicated following over the years due to its distinct style and unapologetically bizarre approach to storytelling. Directed by J. Michael Muro, the movie was set in the decaying and squalid streets of Brooklyn, New York as it delves into the lives of various eccentric characters, each struggling to survive in their harsh and unforgiving environment.

“I’m excited to reinterpret the original story, update it to better reflect the times we live in and give it a new and original spin,” continues Kruger. “While our reimagining features new, exciting plot elements that give the film many bizarre twists and turns, the core of the film lies with our diverse and unique cast of characters. As a director, I am very character-centric and I can’t wait to see our strange and hilarious ensemble on screen together as they navigate the hostile streets of Cape Town. Our version of Street Trash will be raw, hilarious, packed with vibrant characters and multi-colored explosions of gooey greatness.”
