POPCORN FRIGHTS PRESENTS A TROMA-SIZED PREMIERE EVENT FEATURING HORROR LEGEND LLOYD KAUFMAN IN PERSON! Get ready for an epic blast of mutant mayhem and cinematic madness as Popcorn Frights proudly hosts a special premiere of MR. MELVIN—the reimagined vision of THE TOXIC AVENGER sequel you were never supposed to see… until now! When cult legends Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz first set out to make THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II, they had just one sequel in mind. But too much Troma is never enough, and their original vision was split into two films: PART II and PART III. Now, decades later, it’s all coming together—literally—in a brand-new reconstruction that fuses both films into one epic, two-hour story, exactly how Lloyd and Michael originally intended. Painstakingly edited, this reconstruction—titled MR. MELVIN—unearths the original script and features new voiceover by Toxie himself, Ron Fazio. This isn’t a restoration. It’s a resurrection! It’s Troma history in the making! Don’t miss this one-night-only premiere event, complete with Troma icon Lloyd Kaufman appearing live and in person to introduce the film, meet fans, and maybe even throw a few heads. It’s bold, it’s bonkers, it’s pure Troma magic—and it’s happening only at Popcorn Frights. Be there… or be TOXIC! Information Source: Popcorn Frights Film Festival | eventbrite

CELEBRATE THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF GEORGE A. ROMERO’S ZOMBIE MASTERPIECE WITH SPECIAL GUEST TINA ROMERO IN ATTENDANCE! First came NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Then DAWN OF THE DEAD. Now, the dead walk again in DAY OF THE DEAD, the explosive third chapter in George A. Romero’s legendary DEAD trilogy—filmed right here in Florida and celebrating four decades of flesh-chomping mayhem! Society has collapsed. Civilization lies in ruins. In a fortified underground missile silo, a ragtag group of scientists and soldiers teeter on the edge of sanity as they battle the undead hordes above—and each other. Starring Lori Cardille in a fierce, commanding performance, DAY OF THE DEAD is a gut-wrenching pressure cooker of paranoia, power struggles, and pulse-pounding terror. With groundbreaking special effects by gore maestro Tom Savini, a haunting synth score from John Harrison (CREEPSHOW), and Romero’s signature blend of biting social commentary and apocalyptic dread, DAY is a sun-scorched, gut-splattered epic. Don’t miss this special anniversary screening featuring a live appearance by Tina Romero, daughter of the master himself and horror royalty in her own right, as we honor a film that’s more than just a splatterfest—it’s a visceral, visionary cry from the heart of the horror genre.

SCREAM QUEEN LINNEA QUIGLEY IS BACK FROM THE DEAD AND READY TO PARTY WITH POPCORN FRIGHTS AT A SPECIAL TRIPLE-BILL STRAIGHT FROM HELL FEATURING CULT CLASSICS SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT , NIGHT OF THE DEMONS , AND THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD! You better watch out, you better not cry—because Santa’s not just coming to town… he’s bringing an axe! Still as shocking (and oddly festive) as it was 40 years ago, Silent Night, Deadly Night tells the twisted tale of little Billy Chapman, scarred for life after witnessing his parents’ brutal Christmas Eve murder and enduring the cruelty of sadistic nuns. But when adult Billy is forced to play jolly old St. Nick at a toy store, he snaps—and starts checking his naughty list with a vengeance. Banned, protested, and beloved, this yuletide slasher ignited a firestorm of controversy upon release and still delivers a gut-punch of gleeful gore. Now restored 4K, this cult holiday horror returns for a Popcorn Frights special big screen presentation with all its sleigh bells, blood, and bone-chilling cheer. And joining us for this holly-jolly hellride is none other than Scream Queen Linnea Quigley, who stars in one of the film’s most iconic—and deadly—scenes. So deck the halls, lock the doors, and don’t miss your chance to celebrate Christmas in August with a killer Santa and a horror legend in the flesh!
