Exhumed Films Presents STREET TRASH
a Very Special Night With Writer/Director/Producer Roy Frumkes!
Saturday, March 24 - $12 - Showtime 7:30pm

STREET TRASH [Directed by Jim Muro/1987/Color/102 minutes/35mm] STREET TRASH stands as one of the most outrageous gore-comedies of the 1980s. The rotgut booze Tenafly Viper can cause much more than a hangover...drink some and you'll melt within seconds! Join a cast of screwballs and revel in the grue and gore in this subversive little gem of a cult classic. Writer/producer Roy Frumkes will be on hand to introduce the movie (projected from his rare, personal 35mm print) and take your questions. As well, he'll be presenting the never-before-seen documentary about the making of George A. Romero's LAND OF THE DEAD, DREAM OF THE DEAD (2005/Color/25 minutes/CDr). Hardcore horrorfiles will flip their lids over some footage of a certain mythical uncompleted horror anthology Mr. Frumkes plans to bring with him to screen for Exhumed Films fans only! Autographs will be signed in the lobby.
