James Muro’s splatterific Street Trash gushes onto Blu-ray this June!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

If you’ve seen STREET TRASH, you know that it contains some of the goriest nonsense the 80s ever produced. If you haven’t been exposed to it yet, you’ll get your chance to witness its filth in high-def this summer when it comes to Blu-ray via Synapse Films. And you’ll want to hold off on eating beforehand.

Given a new High-Definition transfer from the original camera negative, STREET TRASH will melt your eyeballs on June 11th.

In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways—eighteen-year-old Fred (Mike Lackey) and his younger brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza)—live in a tire hut in the back of an auto wrecking yard. Life is hard, but the most lethal threat to the boys is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper wine in Ed’s liquor store window. The stuff is forty years old… and it’s gone bad. REAL bad! Anyone who drinks it melts in seconds—and it’s only a dollar a bottle!

The special features are as follows:

• 5.1 Surround Remix Created Specifically for Home Theatre Environments
• Two Audio Commentaries Featuring Producer Roy Frumkes and Director James Muro
• THE MELTDOWN MEMOIRS – Feature Length Documentary on the History and Making of STREET TRASH
• The Original STREET TRASH 16mm Short Film That Inspired the Movie
• The Original STREET TRASH Promotional Teaser
• Original Theatrical Trailer
• ALL-NEW BLU-RAY EXCLUSIVES: Jane Arakawa Video Interview and Deleted Scenes
• Create Your Own Bottle of “Tenafly Viper” Wine with the Enclosed Label Sticker!

The below video will tell you everything you need to know about this trash-classic, written by DOCUMENT OF THE DEAD director Roy Frumkes.
