Midnight Mayhem featuring your host Chaz Kangas.

Before you see The Toxic Avenger remake with Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon this August, watch the original Troma classic about how a 98 pounds of solid nerd becomes a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength! The health club horror-comedy about the only wholesome example of toxic masculinity, the first superhero from New Jersey.

ABOUT THE FILM

Uncut and restored, one of the most notorious 1980s horror comedies ever made arrives at Midnight Mayhem this August!

The Toxic Avenger stands with Pink Flamingos and The Evil Dead as one of the most gleefully offensive "midnight movies" of the twentieth century. Now, this 1980s horror classic returns to the big screen in a big way! Among the residents of Tromaville is Melvin, a nerdy janitor at the local health club. A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong and Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the Toxic Avenger, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The excitement is non-stop as Toxie sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville.
