"Survival of the Film Freaks Set To World Premiere at Horrorhound Weekend


OTC Industries recently sent the horror chamber information about the world premiere of their documentary "Survival of the Film Freaks". The film features interviews from Joe Bob Briggs, Ted Raimi, Adam Green and more.

"Survival of the Film Freaks will have its world premiere at Horrorhound Weekend festival as part of Horrorhound weekend which takes places on August 24th - 26th. The screening will take place on  August 26th at 11am.

For more information on the film, you can visit the film's official Facebook at:  https://www.facebook.com/Survivalofthefilmfreaks

Press Release:

How does cult cinema survive and thrive in the 21st century? This notion will be explored when Survival of the Film Freaks has its World Premiere at HorrorHound Weekend Film Festival (#H2F2), August 24th-26th in Indianapolis, IN.

Joe Bob Briggs, Ted Raimi and Adam Green are just a few of the familiar faces that you’ll see in this documentary that is both a love letter to and in-depth study of “cult.”

“It’s a wonderful, full-circle feeling,” says co-director Kyle Kuchta. “Bill and I both started our respective professional careers at horror conventions; that’s actually how we met. So to be able to premiere our film at one of the biggest conventions in the country feels amazing.”

Kuchta was directing Fantasm, a documentary about horror conventions when he met Bill, the host of the cult film podcast Outside The Cinema.

“Ever since I was a young kid I always remember being fascinated by the idea of weird and wonderful films,” Fulkerson states. “So after over two years of work, it’s really exciting to premiere the flick, especially for a group of like-minded individuals. It makes me happier than the VHS box art for The Barbarians.”

Film Freaks will be premiering in good company that weekend. #H2F2 will also include the world premiere of the Joe Dante-produced Camp Cold Brook, screenings of horror favorites Jason Goes To Hell and The Lost Boys, and more. The film festival is part of HorrorHound Weekend, and all details about the convention can be found here.

To purchase tickets for the screening, you can goto: https://www.showclix.com/event/f-26651-Tromeo-amp-Juliet/listing.

Press Release

Lloyd Kaufman and James Gunn's (director of Guardians of the Galaxy) Tromeo and Juliet, Troma Movies masterpiece film adaptation of William Shakespeare's star-crossed tragedy released in 1996. The movie will be followed with a post-screening discussion with Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger, associate producer Andrew Weiner, and editor Frank Reynolds, it was announced today by Elizabeth D'Ambrosio, spokesperson for Troma Entertainment.

Tromeo and Juliet is a selection by MoMa Film curators for Breaking Bard: Shakespeare on Film, a film screening program scheduled to run through mid-October (Oct. 12-24) in tribute to the Bard ("Poet"), William Shakespeare, on the 400th anniversary since his death. The screenings are intended to both commemorate the playwright as well as present a series of films from all genre and throughout history since the inception of cinema that are influenced by Shakespeare's Comedies, Tragedies and Histories.

Troma's Tromeo and Juliet is a Shakespearean time-capsule of New York City late in the 20th Century. It is both unique and canonical in MoMa's program,for its sincere interpretation of the play that is realized with modern forms as classical archetypes and a dialectical urban dialogue to honor Shakespeare's lyrical form delivered in the experimental and science-fiction driven language of Troma Movies and Lloyd Kaufman.

In the 42 years of Troma Movies Independent Cinema, Tromeo and Juliet is largely considered one of the most important titles and is a testament to film craft when projected. Throughout Kaufman and Gunn also deploy mesmerizing and brilliantly graphic practical in their visualizations of the infamous murders, slow-deaths and violent stunt driven revenge, and use of veritable feats in film processing effects demonstrate scenes of metamorphosis in a deeply surrealist language that somehow, despite being grotesque, maintain a genuine interest in beauty.

Tromeo and Juliet marked a 20th Anniversary milestone this year since its release (2016) and stars both Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead and Legendary B-Movie Film Star Joe Fleishaker, both of whom passed this year.

Troma to Host Outdoor Screening of its Latest Release "Hectic Knife"


Troma Entertainment recently send the horror chamber information about the New York premiere of their latest film "Hectic Knife". The film stars Peter Litvin and J.J. Brine.  The screening will also serve as a pre-party fundraiser event for Tromadance which takes place on July 29th and 30th.

The film will be making its world premiere on the rooftop of  Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn, NY on July 28th.   Screening time is 8pm.

Press Release:

Ladies of the Night agree that the "Hectic" keeps the scumbag sick perverts that lurk the dark alleys of a crime stricken city at bay, at least for now! Finally a vigilante with some street-credit and a psychological paradox that doesn't involve bourgeois baggage and Daddy-issues! Troma Entertainment has acquired "Hectic Knife", an action-horror-comedy film directed by Greg DeLiso. The new acquisition will be celebrated this month with a New YorkCity Premiere Brooklyn rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady at 8:00 PM on July 28th, 2016 as a pre-party fundraising event for TromaDance, the companies Film Festival which runs the weekend of July 29th and 30th. it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, prexy of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.

DeLiso cites Troma Entertainment as an early influence and inspiration in his pursuit of filmmaking;

"Of all the self help, directing 101, learn how to talk to actors nonsense out there, the only real nugget of truth comes from Lloyd Kaufman: Make Your Own Damn Movie. That's the most important thing. But, for me the next most important thing is working with a distribution company like Troma that understands that the best thing for a movie is for people to see it! Viva la Troma! -- the only company out there that understands movies and movie makers!"

DeLiso's movie portrays a down and out crime-fighting, knife-wielding vigilante hero (character, "Hectic Knife", played by Peter Litvin), who faces a life-changing disruption when a new super villain, the evil "Piggly Doctor" (played by J.J. Brine), arrives in town. .

Will Hectic be able to find the chosen technology in time to save the entire world!?

Some of the answers to these questions, plus tons of blood, babes and bagels (?!) populate this insane and graphic pulp comedy/slasher!

The carefully crafted retro feel to Hectic Knife is a reverential nod to cinematic symbolism, and film archetypes are referenced throughout the course of the movie. Characters experience inexplicable flashbacks, imagery like a lone tear traveling down the withered hero's cheek and Mighty Aphrodite -esque hookers with a heart of gold weave together to tell Hectic's story.

This bizarre and hilarious, genre-bending comedy is a modern marvel of movie-making from the school of Tromatic Tradition!

The rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady on July 28th will be attended by director Greg DeLiso along with a Q & A after the film. The event is a pre-party fundraiser for The 17th Annual TromaDance, Troma Entertainment's free to submit, free to attend celebrated Film Festival that includes both short and feature length movies from international independent filmmakers that is followed by a World Famous afterparty, also free to guests!
