Garbage Pail Kids Doc Widely Available Soon – Billed as “the pivotal documentary on the Garbage Pail Kids,” 30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story revisits the artists who made these collectibles famous.

The trailer, featuring tons of blood, guts, boners, decapitations, dildo nunchucks, and of course super badass demons, promises that the film is going to be loaded with the same juvenile jokes, gore gags, and satanic sing-alongs that made the original TV series a worldwide hit.
