Big Gulp: Tromo Triple Feature!

So, the last two nights have gone late. I've been plagued with Troma fever (a condition caused by nuclear and toxic wastes and broma-seltzer and green food dye). Just as the worlds of Full Moon and Fulci and Friday the 13th occupy their own galaxies in the horror genre, so does the Troma team. Each release from this most independent of film houses is stacked and packed with its own brand of humor, gore, twisted plots, and in-jokes.

Some Troma films are much better than others, but with each release, you'll never know what to expect. Their DVD features are becoming legendary: packed with all sorts of goofy "interactive tours" and "behind-the-scenes features" and Lloyd Kaufman's commentaries.

After seeing enough of these films, it's not enough to simply watch the plot unfold. You get accustomed to looking for the background jokes. You start noticing all of the random signs, Troma movie posters, and funny graffiti scrawled on the sets. You start playing close attention to the goofy sound effects (the boing whenever a bra is unstrapped). You begin to realize that in every release somebody foams green seltzer, and that the "Welcome to Tromaville; Population 15,000 (or whatever the count for each film) pops up in the weirdest of places.

You become part of Lloyd Kaufman's world. And, if you're paying for a DVD, he's more than happy to have you....
