Toxic Avenger Series Episode 1

Your Friendly Neighborhood Geiger Man

A nerdy janitor accidentally takes a bath in a barrel of bubbling goo and emerges as The Toxic Avenger in this classic 1984 midnight movie. Can the radioactive superhero use his trusty mop to clean up crime on the Tromaville streets as successfully as he once sanitized health club toilets?  And must love be blind in order for the deformed green guy to score a kiss from anyone other than a dolled-up sheep? Donate today and join hit-and-run enthusiasts Stuart, Arnie, and Justin as they count up the kill points earned by this messy splatter comedy.
