While consumers trample each other attempting to purchase a revamped Furby or 1 Direction singing doll this holiday season, Troma Entertainment is offering its fans an alternative to the shopping mall madness: 250 of Troma’s best titles available for FREE at youtube.com/tromamovies as well as a band-new FREE filmmaking lessons from  Lloyd Kaufman every week at youtube.com/yourowndamnchannel.

This holiday gift from Troma to its fans comes on the heels of the recent discovery by archaeologists in Jerusalem that there was a fourth wise man – King Moishe of Kew Gardens – who brought 250 FREE movies to the baby Jesus. In response to the many who have incorporated this addition to the story of Jesus’ birth into nativity scenes all over the world, Troma is recreating this amazing archaeological discovery by making those very same films available. The 250 FREE films can be viewed HERE and Your Own Damn Channel filmmaking lessons, HERE!

The FREE titles range from Troma hits like the Toxic Avenger and Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead to hard-to-find movies like Plutonium Baby and classic films from Troma’s Roan Group archive such as The Invisible Ghost.  Lloyd Kaufman has vowed to have 500 FREE titles available by the time the company celebrates its 40th year in the film industry.

While many panic with the forthcoming 12/21/12 end of the TroMayan calendar, Troma Entertainment is celebrating with the three DVD releases you should see before the end of the world: Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical, directed by Travis Campbell and produced by Justin Martell, premiered at Spain’s prestigious Sitges Film Festival and during its limited theatrical release has played at renowned venues such as the Alamo Drafthouse and the San Diego Comic-Con. Bob Freville’s Hemo, Troma’s answer to the Twilight series has been hailed by Kotori magazine as a “masterpiece of drug cinema.”  Finally available in the US for the first time, this release of The Toxic Avenger contains the long sought-after 98 minute version originally cut for the Japanese market.

To order these brand-new Troma DVD’s please visit the Troma Shop or Amazon.com! As Troma Entertainment approaches its 40th year as an independent film studio, it will continue its time honored tradition of producing “movies of the future” and follow with such releases as and Bobby Hacker’s Cars 3 and Dan Nelson and Drew Bolduc’s The Taint.
