Lightbulb Film Distribution proudly announces the release of Street Trash (1987) on 4K UHD Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and digital starting April 27. This 80’s cult-horror classic, which kick-started the “Melt” movie sub-genre, has undergone a stunning restoration from the original negative. Directed by J. Michael Muro, Street Trash features performances from Mike Lackey, Vic Noto, and Bill Chepil. The film was produced with an estimated budget of $100k.
THE COLLECTOR’S EDITION BLU-RAY AND CINEMATIC RE-RELEASE
The Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, housed inside a VHS box, is available to pre-order now, limited to 2,000 copies. It features over 5 hours of brand-new extras, newly recorded audio commentaries, and exclusive artwork and inserts designed by illustrator Graham Humphreys.
To celebrate the release, Street Trash will return to select UK & Irish screens for one-off shows in May – including the Prince Charles Cinema in London, CultPlex in Manchester and Broadway in Nottingham.
THE PREMISE
Two young runaways live in a derelict junkyard in Brooklyn. Life is hard, but the biggest threat to these vagabonds is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper in Ed’s liquor store. This stuff is over forty years old… and it’s gone bad. REAL bad!

And with Graham Humphreys designing the incredible new artwork and inserts for this special edition along with Jason Impey supplying some wonderfully insightful, never-seen-before extras and commentaries ensures that all boxes were ticked. We are over the moon with how the final package looks and plays, and we can’t wait to hear and see horror fans’ reactions when they receive the Limited Collector’s Edition VHS Box in their hands.” commented Commercial Director, Matthew Kreuzer.
