TROMA RELEASES ARCHITECTS OF FEAR MUSIC VIDEO FROM “RETURN TO NUKE ‘EM HIGH: VOL 1” SOUNDTRACKIn anticipation of the upcoming January theatrical release of the latest Troma Team production, “Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1,” directed by Lloyd Kaufman, Troma has released the first music video from the film’s soundtrack, “Edison Device” by Architects of Fear.
The music video was directed by Troma President and patriarch Lloyd Kaufman and edited by “Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1” action-star Stuart Kiczek. The Architects of Fear, a Florida-based rock and roll band, features long-time Troma creative collaborator James Wright, who will appear in “Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 2.”
MORE ON TROMA’S RETURN TO NUKE ‘EM HIGH: VOLUME 1 & 2
Quentin Tarantino has been a fan and friend of Troma for years and when he made Kill Bill in two volumes to create an “Event Film,” Lloyd Kaufman took note. “Michael Herz and I decided that to mark Troma’s upcoming 40th year we, too, would produce an ‘Event Film’ in two volumes just like Quentin did,” says Kaufman, “except slightly less lavish in the budget department.”
Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1 & 2, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, is a hilarious, thoughtful sci-fi Event Film with themes ripped straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world’s food supply, rampant bullying, LGBTQ love triumphing over prejudice and violence. The film, a revisiting of Troma’s 1986 Class of Nuke ‘Em High is in the same vein as other classics such as Class of 1984, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, and Carrie, but seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team. Welcome to Tromaville High School where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lesbian lovers, must fight not only the Cretins, mutants and monsters, but also the evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs conglomerate. Can they and Kevin the Wonder Duck save Tromaville High School and the world? Share / Discuss

RTNH Reviews from Fantasia“…if Friday night’s audience is to be taken as any kind of example, Troma fans [will] love [RTNH] with a love that will last the ages.”
“With vomit inducing practical effects and an over the top presentation to boot, Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1might be one of the most insane American made splatter films that I’ve ever seen to date…”
“…[contains] broad political satire that skewers the sensitivities of left and right alike with Mad magazine-like abandon.”
