What is Toxic Tutu?

TOXIC TUTU is a mockumentary feature film that chronicles the emergence of Mark Torgl, who starred as Melvin the Mopboy in the legendary cult film classic "The Toxic Avenger".

After a thirty-year absence as the superhero and star of this Troma classic, a dark truth unfolds on-camera as Mark embarks upon a year-long journey into the monster convention circuit.

During this tour fans begin to speculate that the toxic wastes used on the set of the "Toxic Avenger" were real, causing concerns that Mark may have developed a hideous disfiguration, which, they surmise kept him in hiding all these years.

In Toxic Tutu you will discover secrets about occurrences that took place on the set of the original movie, and how this changed Mark's life forever. The film also honors Troma fans and strays into themes such as: sexual exploitation; being different; and gratuitous violence making certain to avoid boring, politically correct rhetoric about these themes.

The film contains documentary style interviews with fans and guest celebrities, original narrative scenes with a mock docudrama feel, a blend of original newsreel footage and commentary, still photos and archive material all precisely edited to reach a shocking Good vs Evil climax that is wicked and unanticipated.

You will find great moments of pleasure and titillation woven into the realism of this Toxic Tutu experience. So, brace yourself for the unexpected...

Mark Torgl is back!

What do we need from you?

The $6,700 we are attempting to raise is to shoot the final scenes in our movie, which will take place in Charlotte, NC and Los Angeles. Riddled with blood and gore the few shocking scenes left to create will require the use of practical effects that will make even the most devout horror film fans cringe.


However, we have spent all of our own money to film what we have so far, and now to finish the film we need to spend YOUR money! :) But for helping us, we promise you won't walk away empty handed!


Here's what's in it for you!

We have a selection of exclusive items such as copies of the finished DVD with bonus footage, credit in our film, T-shirts, buttons, tattoos, posters, etc.

And the most valuable perk - a ROLE in Toxic Tutu!

Just refer to the list of perks for details.

Why we think you should invest in Toxic Tutu...

"Toxic Tutu"  is an entirely original story. Our film is made up of a cast that is almost exclusively Toxic Avenger fans and special celebrity guests.

We are also calling upon the talents of members of the original film's crew who have joined us to make our film an authentic toxic experience.

The filmmakers have known each other for over thirty-years and have collaborated on numerous projects. This movie is a labor of love and endeavors to preserve the integrity of the "Toxic Avenger" franchise and uphold the spirit of independent filmmaking.


Other Ways You Can Help...

If you can't contribute financially, but you would still like to support our campaign you can help this film get made by spreading the word to your friends, family members and everyone you are in contact with.

Share our campaign on Twitter, Facebook, message boards and any other social media outlets you use. Every bit helps!

We also invite you to submit your bloody, gory, bone crushing, bully handling ideas to us at Melvin@toxictutu.com.

The best part if you help out in any way - Mark says he will love you long time!

And on a personal note...

When I embarked upon this project I never expected I would meet the number of fans who loved Melvin that came from many walks of life and spanned over generations. I also never realized the personal impact I had on them.

The way I felt from the enthusiasm that came back to me when I told them about the film I was making inspired me and has kept us moving forward.

I was considered a nerd all of my life. When I found likeness in some fans and heard their true stories and how they rose above their challenges it made me even more compelled to tell my story. Thus the birth of Toxic Tutu.

We want you to become part of the journey as we move into the final days of filming.

Love you...

Mark Torgl
