With the popularity of V/H/S and the quick distribution deal for sequel S-v/H/S at Sundance, it seems like the VHS format may be having a bit of a renaissance. Cover art is key to the allure of the VHS tape – clearly no one is buying them for their box-filling bulkiness – and almost everyone of a certain age has a story about falling in love with a VHS box only to take it home and find out the movie inside was even better.
I had two obsessions at the video store: One was Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker, which featured a button on the box that, when pushed, played the line “Wanna date?” over and over. Rabid Grannies, which boasted a picture of two hungry-looking zombie grandmothers and the tagline, “They just love their grandchildren... well done!” was the other. To my thirteen-year-old mind that was the funniest idea ever.

Toxie, the affectionately named mop-wielding character of The Toxic Avenger series from the 1980s will be severely cleaning up his act as Akiva Goldsman and others take on the task of producing a remake of the film franchise that will be suitable for family viewing.
The original film centred on Melvin, a wimpy mop boy at a gym who is bullied by the more muscular members, leading him to escape out a window and fall into a vat of toxic waste. The radioactive swill transforms him into a giant Hulk-like superhero who gets his revenge on the bullies and wreaks havoc on polluters in New Jersey. The anti-hero went on to star in a number of schlocky, gory tales including Surf Nazis Must Dieie, Rabid Grannies and Stuff Stephanie In The Incinerator, but for this new iteration he will become a green superhero for these environmentally conscious times.
