Thank YOU for making the 15th Annual TromaDance Film Festival the Best TromaDance Yet!

Posted on July 3, 2014

Horror! Comedy! Suspense! Music! Science!! The 15th Annual TromaDance Film Festival had everything the most rabid cinephile, pickiest independent film connoisseur, or die hard Troma fan could ask for. In spades. What it had most though was support from across the world over for truly independent art!

The Paper Box, a New York city art compound, hosted the two day festival allowing attendees ample space to enjoy the films as well as the creative atmosphere in which they could roam and network. Sgt. KabukiM'am NYPD and one festival-goer enjoy the beautiful New York weather outside in the courtyard of the Paper Box.

With TromaDance being the festival that premiered films like Human Centipede and the Taint, this year's films had a lot to live up to and they did not disappoint. Drew Bolduc's Science Team received a standing ovation and Troma fans ate up PopcornFlix's Evil Feed. Director Chrzu came all the way from Finland for the World Premiere of his film "NightSatan & the Loops of Doom" and we're sure the crowd's reaction made the many miles he traveled all worth it.

NewGrounds.Com animator Emily Youcis got up close and personal with TromaDance attendees participating in an interactive Q & A session moderated by Master of Ceremonies, Lloyd Kaufman after giving an exclusive sneak peak at her upcoming Alfred Alfer feature film.

The Netherlands, Mannequin Pussy, Dawn of Humans, and Hellbent Hooker (pictured below) unleashed alcohol soaked, New York City Rock n' Roll war-dances all over the TromaDance stage in front of a full capacity crowd. Literally. The Troma merch tables had to be put away to fit any more people into the building!

Not only were fans walking away with Raffled Prizes like this brand new camera from one of our sponsors Lomography...

But we were also presented with some pretty Fan-Toxic Fan Art!

Also at TromaDance, our friends at Grey Matter Art unveiled this Brand New, Limited Edition "Toxic Avenger" screen-printed film poster designed by Godmachine!

We will have a limited number of these at our next stop this weekend, SuperCon! See you in Miami!

We would like to thank all of the filmmakers, PopcornFlix, Drafthouse Films, our sponsors PopChips, Forbidden Planet, Lomography, the PIT, HorrorBoobs, Dub Pies, Grey Matter Art, performers SylvaDean and Me, Murderfist, Hellbent Hooker, Mannequin Pussy, the Netherlands, Dawn of Humans, and everyone who attended and made the 15th Annual TromaDance our BEST one yet!

"Evil Feed" and "The Final Memeber" to Headline TromaDance!

Posted on May 16, 2014

As Troma President and Creator of "The Toxic Avenger", Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team ready for their exciting return to Cannes, breaking news emerges pertaining to the 15th Annual TromaDance Film Festival.

Troma Entertainment is proud to announce two more fantastic Features will be headlining the Brooklyn-bound Film Festival in "Evil Feed" and "The Final Member".

In Screen Media's "Evil Feed" a group of young martial artists infiltrate an underground pit fighting ring where competitors are forced into battle for the "TENDER-tainment" of cannibals and the loser is served and eaten in a Chinese restaurant. A stylized, over the top, action gore throwback to the days of 42 Street Martial Arts Grind House cinema, "Evil Feed" brings the fight back to New York at TromaDance on June 28th!

"Paris has the Louvre. London has the Tate Modern, and New York the Metropolitan Museum. But Husavik, Iceland - a diminutive village on the fringe of the Arctic Circle-boasts the world's only museum devoted exclusively to painstakingly preserved male genitalia." Drafthouse Films' "The Final Member" documents the race between two eccentric volunteers to preserve their legacies and become the first male 'member' of the human species on exhibit in the museum. Who will win? Come to the Paperbox June 28th to find out!
