CREATORVC, the mastermind crew behind legendary horror retrospectives like In Search of Darkness and Aliens Expanded, is diving headfirst into horror’s gloriously filthy underbelly. They are gearing up to release their newest masterpiece, Slasher Trash. Forget mainstream studio darlings like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Instead, this wild documentary celebrates the backyard slashers, forgotten oddities, and outrageous grindhouse shockers that gleefully ignored good taste.

The ultimate celebration of low-budget gore and masked maniacs is officially running a limited final pre-sale from October 8th through midnight on November 2nd, 2026.

Star-Studded Horror Royalty Speaks

Clocking in at over four mammoth hours, the documentary features over thirty candid interviews with an elite lineup of genre icons and modern horror brilliant minds. Viewers can look forward to hilarious, gory tales from legendary directors like William Lustig and George Mihalka. Additionally, they’ll also hear from scream queens like Caroline Munro and Brinke Stevens. Contemporary fright favorites like Terrifier sensation David Howard Thornton and bestselling author Grady Hendrix also weigh in on the subgenre’s most shocking highlights.

Legendary Horror Mind at the Helm

Legendary horror journalist, former Fangoria editor, and Rondo Award winner Michael Gingold wrote and directed the epic documentary. Teaming up with Gareth Morgan, creator of the massive 200,000-member Slasher Trash Facebook community, Gingold brings over thirty years of deep-cut expertise to this passion project. Early backer screenings have already drawn glowing feedback, guaranteeing a delightfully twisted love letter to obscure VHS-era madness.
