A celebration of the longest-lasting independent film company that STILL hasn’t made a hit!
For over FORTY YEARS, Troma Studios has blazed its own bloody, slime-covered trail, making movies their own damn way!

How, you might ask, did a couple of rebels with almost no cash manage to make a library of a THOUSAND films? You’ll have to pick up this incredible collection to find out, featuring never-before-seen film stills, rare posters, candid interviews, and buckets and buckets and BUCKETS of fake blood…
