On Friday and Saturday, July 19th-20th, The Mahoning Drive-In Theater once again teams up with the world’s most outrageous independent film studio to present two nights of the most renegade cinema you’ll ever see, Tromasterpieces one and all, with TROMA-THON ’24: A 50 YEARS OF TROMA CELEBRATION!
Troma Entertainment, formed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman in 1974, has been generating some of the most extreme and unforgettable screen sensations for decades, working social commentary subversively into their wild and wacky horror-comedy tales of Tromaville.
We’re popping our corks over half a century of Troma trauma, with the Greatest Hits of each decade splattering across the screen, from the 1970s to the 2020s, including the World Drive-In Premiere of the newest feature from The House That Toxie Built, CURSE OF THE WEREDEER!
PLUS! Lloyd Kaufman, The Toxic Avenger, and Sara LIVE IN PERSON, available for FREE photos, autographs, and psychic consultations! AND! Live music, new Troma merch, Troma trailers, and more!
