TOXIC AVENGER

Directed by Lloyd Kaufman
Starring Andree Maranda, Mitchell Cohen, Pat Ryan Jr., Jennifer Baptist, Robert Pritchard, Cindy Manion, Gary Schneider, Mark Torgl

Welcome to TROMAVILLE, NEW JERSEY – a small American town, terrorized by criminals. The town’s corrupt mayor sits idly by, while muggers, robbers and teenage punks victimize helpless citizens. Among the residents of Tromaville is MELVIN, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club. That is, until he becomes THE TOXIC AVENGER! A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste. However, an unexpected metamorphosis takes place. As the chemicals take hold of his body, Melvin turns into the TOXIC AVENGER, doer of good, and brutal mauler of evil! The rest, as they say, is history! The excitement is non-stop as the hero sets out to single handedly wipe out the forces of evil that torment the people of Tromaville. THE TOXIC AVENGER is non-stop entertainment that will leave the viewers glowing from the fun. See the film that spawned the comic book, website, cartoon, action figures and three sequels to date! Experience the action that made Troma Entertainment cinematic legend! Still a classic two decades later! See THE TOXIC AVENGER!


MOTHER'S DAY
Originally released in 1980



Directed by Charles Kaufman
Starring Nancy Hendrickson, Deborah Luce, Tiana Pierce, Holden McQuire, Billy Ray McQuade, Rose Ross

Lovin sons always do what their mothers tell them to…even if it’s to KILL!!! The Troma Team is proud to bring you Charles Kaufman’s (WHEN NATURE CALLS, JAKARTA) MOTHER’S DAY, the independent horror classic which redefines the term “family values.” This stylish, horrific and darkly humorous film is a worldwide favorite. In the spirit of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and IGOR & THE LUNATICS, MOTHER’S DAY is a celebration of gore and depravity that is certain to offend the weak of heart! When three beautiful young women set out for a relaxing weekend retreat in the woods, they unwittingly stumble upon a sadistic band of backwoods yokels. Taken prisoner by the insane matriarch and her demented sons, the women are forced to fight back using anything they can get their hands on. Heads roll, blood spurts, and genitals are mutilated as the women use myriad objects to do battle with Mother’s loving sons. Their MOTHER’S DAY will leave you feeling frightened, amazed, and downright disgusted!
