*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. Dodger (Mackenzie Astin) finds himself in Captain Manzini’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 Kids®. The kids – Ali Gator, Nat Nerd, Greaser Greg, Foul Phil, Messy Tessie, and Valerie Vomit – befriend Dodger and help him get revenge against his bullies, defying the laws of good taste in the process!
