The Toxic Avenger, a semi-reboot of the 1984 superhero splatter-fest, made the rounds of the festival circuit back in 2023.

And thanks to the folks at Bloody Disgusting (a Cineverse subsidiary), we’ve got a trailer by producer/actor and horror movie fan Wilson Cleveland, rendered in a gloriously goofy-yet-gory grindhouse style that pays homage to the original trailer. (You can watch the red-band trailer below.)
