Currently 14-years-old, Tremblay has the filmography of a horror legend, having appeared in movies like Room, Before I Wake, The Predator, and Doctor Sleep.
The original Toxic Avenger was released in 1984; it was co-directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman from a screenplay by Joe Ritter. The film inspired three sequels, a musical, a video game, and even a cartoon for kids. If it’s been a while, or if you never experienced the b-movie insanity of The Toxic Avenger, give the trailer a spin below.
