New England Premiere! With Legendary director, Troma founder, and inaugural Coolidge After Midnite Award winner, Lloyd Kaufman joining us in-person!

The idyllic, crime-free tranquility of the Tromaville citizens’ lives is shattered when Apocalypse Inc. settles down in their town. To make matters worse, the corrupt corporation has poisoned Tromaville’s only hero, the Toxic Avenger, against them. However, if Toxie can confront the monster he’s become, it may not be too late to save his town—and his soul. 

The true vision for the sequel to 1984’s The Toxic Avenger is resurrected in Mr. Melvin, which has been crafted from the existing elements of The Toxic Avenger Parts II & III while maintaining the over-the-top gore, vulgar humor, and biting social commentary that are the hallmarks of Troma and Lloyd Kaufman.
