    Fright Night Theatre is proud to announce it will kick off its 2014 season with the 
    Hamilton Premiere of 
    RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH (Vol. 1)

    A celebration of 40 years of Troma Entertainment! 
    March 01, 2014 @ The Staircase Theatre, Hamilton, ON



    For nearly 40 years, Troma Entertainment has been blazing a trail for independent film and tromatizing the masses with their unique brand of envelope-pushing, politically incorrect, and visually outrageous exploitation and horror films such as THE TOXIC AVENGER, THE CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH, TROMA'S WAR, and POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD. Now, we celebrate the legacy of the entire Troma Team with a screening of its latest tromasterpiece: RETURN TO NUKE 'EM HIGH (Volume 1), directed by indie film legend and icon Lloyd Kaufman.

    Join us at The Staircase for this one-of-a-kind, premiere event. Space is VERY limited and expected to sell out. Online advance tickets are now on sale.
