Troma is America's most famous horror movie company (sorry, Full Moon). It started out in the early 1980s to produce gory horror or splatter comedies and has not forsaken its credo until today. Troma Films' first big success came with the release of THE TOXIC AVENGER (1985), a deliriously crazy splatter movie comedy about a nerd who falls into toxic waste and turns into a superhero. The film was written, produced and directed by Lloyd Kaufman, one of the founding fathers of the company. CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH followed in 1986, which like THE TOXIC AVENGER led to several sequels.
Troma also distributes films from the States and Europe, such as the Belgian splatter movie LES MEMES CANNIBALES/RABID GRANNIES (1989) or Dario Argento's LA SINDROME DI STENDHAL (1996). The filmography below only lists the movies appearing at cultmovies.info. All in all, Troma has produced some 50 films, further 50 have been distributed by Troma's video label.
