Horrifying discoveries have been made across LA. Images have surfaced of severed arms with hands gripping bottles filled with colorful liquid. The substance in the bottles has been identified as TenaflyViper. It is a cheap, lethal booze that liquefies anyone who dares drink it into a ghastly, melting mess. The crime scenes don’t appear to be random. Each is connected to houses featured in iconic horror movies, including A Nightmare on Elm Street, Insidious, They Live, and Night of the Creeps.

No, the arms and liquid aren’t real. It’s a promotional stunt for the upcoming Screambox Original horror film Street Trash, a reimagining of the classic. Directed by Ryan Kruger (“Warrior”) and co-written by James C. Williamson (Fried Barry), it is based on Roy Frumkes’s 1987 movie.
Kruger stars alongside Sean Cameron Michael (The Mummy), Donna Cormack-Thomson (“Catch Me A Killer”), and Joe Vaz (“Good Omens”). Lloyd Martinez Newkirk (Fried Barry), Shuraigh Meyer (The Umbrella Men), Gary Green (Fried Barry), and Warrick Grier (Dredd) round out the cast.
Set in the year 2050, Street Trash sees global economic turmoil destroy the middle class in Cape Town, South Africa, which is now divided between the ultra-rich and the displaced. Ronald and a group of fellow houseless friends uncover a plot by the local government to ‘wash away’ the houseless population with a sinister chemical agent called ‘V.’ Now, they must risk everything to expose the truth and resist a society that’s determined to erase them.
Street Trash will land on digital on November 19. Watch the original on Screambox the same day.
