A celebration of the longest-lasting independent film company that STILL hasn’t made a hit!

For over FORTY YEARS, Troma Studios has blazed its own bloody, slime-covered trail, making movies their own damn way! From The Toxic Avenger to The Class Of Nuke ‘Em High to Poultrygeist to Tromeo And Juliet, Lloyd Kaufman never compromised, waving his independent freak-flag freely, and helped jumpstart the careers of luminaries such as James Gunn, Trey Parker, Eli Roth, Oliver Stone and countless others! How, you might ask, did a couple of rebels with almost no cash manage to make a library of a THOUSAND films? You’ll have to pick up this incredible collection to find out, featuring never-before-seen film stills, rare posters, candid interviews, and buckets and buckets and BUCKETS of fake blood…

Ellie U. ★★★★★

Flipping through the massive 400-plus pages of behind-the-scenes photos and production stories, I lost an entire weekend reliving the chaos of those slime-drenched sets. The book captures exactly why Troma has survived four decades without a single hit—it's pure, unfiltered passion on every page. Ev

Aurora J. ★★★★★

Sitting down with this book feels like getting a backstage pass to forty years of gloriously unhinged filmmaking, and the sheer amount of behind-the-scenes history on Troma's "never made a hit" philosophy is both hilarious and inspiring.

Olivia ★★★★★

This thing is huge and packed with so much slime-soaked history that I kept getting lost in the photos for hours. The deep dive into four decades of guerrilla filmmaking really nails why Troma’s chaos still matters, even without a single mainstream hit.
