Toxic Avenger Turns 30 and You Can Join the Celebration!

One of my favorite VHS to rent when I was a kid was The Toxic Avenger. This was a film that I thoroughly enjoyed and helped set the foundation for what would be a lifelong love of all things Lloyd Kaufman and Troma. Now, as the years drag on, the film has reached a milestone of it’s own. The film that helped put Troma on the map is turning 30 and Troma is inviting you beautiful people to join in on the fun. Read the press release below:

This past December Troma Entertainment was invited to the inaugural Bizarre AC weekend at the gorgeous Tropicana
Casino & Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey to showcase legendary director and
creator of the “Toxic Avenger,” Lloyd Kaufman’s latest TroMasterpiece “Return to
Nuke ‘Em High: Vol. 1.” The first part of this epic Event film was met with such
a fantastic response it captured the weekend’s top honor, the “People’s Choice Award.”

This Saturday June 14th, Troma Entertainment is proud to announce that we have been
invited back to Atlantic City as Bizarre AC celebrates the Official 30th Birthday
Party of New Jersey’s First Superhero, Lloyd Kaufman’s the “Toxic Avenger.” In addition
to the milestone anniversary celebration there will be a host of other Toxie-riffic
events to guarantee any Troma fan a weekend extraordinary entertainment.

Beginning on on the evening on Friday June 13th, director Larry Rosen will present
his new film “Bloody Slumber Party” featuring a cameo appearance from the Troma
President at 9pm.

Following the Premiere Lloyd Kaufman will join Rosen and film stars Brian O’Halloran
(“Clerks”) and Seregon O’Dassey (“Witches Brew”) to participate in a special crowd
interactive Q & A session.

Then on Saturday afternoon at 2pm in the Carousel Room there will be a special 30th
Anniversary screening of the film that started it all, the original 1984 “Toxic
Avenger” with a live color commentary from director himself, Lloyd Kaufman.

Later that evening, also in the Carousel Room, Troma’s “Pro Wrestlers VS Zombies”
makes its Official New Jersey Premiere at 7pm starring confirmed Bizarre AC guest
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan. After the film director Cody Knotts and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan
will participate in a Q & A session with fans.

And after the doors close on Saturday night join Lloyd Kaufman, Toxie, and the Troma
Team at 11pm at Chickie’s and Pete’s Sports Bar at the Tropicana for the Toxic
Avenger’s
Official 30th Birthday After Party. Music will be provided by DJ Mass as well as
a Special Live Performance from G Tom Mac of “Lost Boys” fame! A special Birthday
cake is being made by Food Network’s Chef Deb Pellegrino. There will be guest speakers
and Lloyd Kaufman himself will say a few words to commemorate the occasion.
