Troma is taking a batch of their most recent genre flicks across the country.
“Hands Across Tromerica” is a traveling festival of six outrageous features: BRING ON THE DAMNED!, CURSE OF THE WEREDEER, KILL DOLLY KILL, RISE OF THE SUPER TROMETTES, #SHAKESPEARESSHITSTORM and SWEET MEATS. The first show, taking place March 22 at the Esquire Theatre in Cincinnati, OH, serves as the official premiere of SWEET MEATS (pictured), writer/director Ricky Glore’s horror/comedy/musical that we previously reported on here and here. Glore, Troma topper Lloyd Kaufman and other filmmakers will take part in Q&As at some of the screenings.
“What ‘Hands Across Tromerica’ is,” the Troma team tells RUE MORGUE, “is us here at Troma joining hands and bringing peace to the world (all across the country) by showcasing our latest and greatest Tromasterpieces in a new movie marathon roadshow extravaganza! From disco to Weredeer, strap in to stay alive for this six-movie marathon madness coming soon to a city near you!”
