The Garbage Pail Kids Movie 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents the cult oddity in its world UHD premiere.

This special limited edition deluxe magnet box + slipcover set (designed by Brent Engstrom and Michael DeForge), includes a 40-page perfect bound book and is limited to 8,000 units.

Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) finds himself in Captain Manziniโ€™s (Anthony Newley) antique shop, seeking refuge from a group of bullies. Manzini, a friend and protector of Dodger, provides him a safe haven while warning Dodger not to touch a grimy-looking garbage can crusted with slime. When the bullies find Dodger, a fight breaks out, and the garbage can topples over, releasing a bevy of pint-sized, grotesque aliens known as the Garbage Pail Kidsยฎ. The kids โ€“ Ali Gator, Nat Nerd, Greaser Greg, Foul Phil, Messy Tessie, and Valerie Vomit โ€“ befriend Dodger and help him get revenge against his bullies, defying the laws of good taste in the process!

Based on the popular Topps trading cards, THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDSยฎ MOVIE captures the irreverence and gross-out humor of its source, mixing obnoxious gags with painstakingly disgusting make-up effects courtesy of John Carl Buechler (Re-Animator, Tammy and the T-Rex). Vinegar Syndrome Ultra is proud to present the world UHD premiere of one of the grossest movies ever made for children, from a new 4K scan of its original 35mm camera negative, giving every ounce of fluid and every wrinkle of latex the resolution it has always deserved.

directed by: Rod Amateau
starring: Mackenzie Astin, Katie Barberi, Phil Fondacaro, Anthony Newley, Ron MacLachlan, Arturo Gil
