"40 years of disrupting media." Troma movies are not for the faint of heart. Established by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz in 1974, Troma Entertainment offers up low-budget satires and horror flicks full of gore and splatter-filled laughs. While Troma doesn't only release horror films, their scary genre fare is usually considered the production company's best.

Now that director Mason Blair is remaking Troma's most popular featureThe Toxic Avenger, with Peter Dinklage, Troma movies have been experiencing a renaissance among contemporary horror fans. This raises an important question: which Troma fright flicks are actually the best? Opinions vary, but the titles below are mentioned the most among diehard Troma fans.

The Toxic Avenger (1984)

The gory splatterfest known as The Toxic Avenger was ignored when it was first released. The low-budget B-movie about a bullied janitor who becomes a deformed superhero after he encounters a drum of toxic waste eventually went on to become a cult classic.

Goofy action sequences meet gross-out effects as the titular protagonist exacts revenge against those terrorizing his New Jersey town, aptly named Tromaville. The Toxic Avenger was followed by three sequels, an animated TV show, and even a musical.

Class Of Nuke 'Em High (1986)

Troma horror at its best, Class of Nuke 'Em High is a gross-out, slapstick alternative to all the high school dramas that crowded theatres in the 1980s. In the film, co-directed by Lloyd Kaufman, things go awry for students at a campus situated next to a nuclear power plant.

After one of the students buys drugs from a plant worker, he and his fellow classmates start to devolve into mutants. It turns out the drugs are contaminated with toxic sludge.

Terror Firmer (1999)

Another Lloyd Kaufman feature, Terror Firmer is a meta-horror slasher full of schlocky humor and campy kill scenes. In the film, the crew of a low-budget horror movie is threatened by a serial killer.

Everyone on set bands together to protect themselves from the murderer. Terror Firmer includes quite a few tongue-in-cheek references to other Troma films, including The Toxic Avenger.

The Nobodies (2018)

A delirious mockumentaryThe Nobodies is a film-within-a-film directed, written by, and starring Jay Burleson. Burleson plays Warren Werner, who in 1993 filmed his first feature on VHS: a trashy movie called Pumpkin.

In The Nobodies, the fake Pumpkin movie is shown in its entirety. The movie also fictionalizes behind-the-scene footage and accounts related to the life of Werner.

The Children (1980)

An early Troma effort, The Children is an uber-creepy, low-budget venture about five small-town children who are turned into zombies. These tykes, who live close to a chemical plant in New England, are exposed to a yellow cloud of poisonous vapors that transform them into the walking dead.

In addition to being zombified, the children retain bizarre supernatural powers. Case in point: they literally nuke, like a microwave, everything they touch.

Combat Shock (1984)

Labeled an exploitation film, Combat Shock is a depraved feature about a depraved Vietnam War veteran. Buddy Giovinazzo plays Frankie Dunlan, a Staten Island resident who was exposed to Agent Orange while serving overseas.

Not only does Frankie suffer the serious side-effects of his exposure; he also struggles with PTSD. As the film progresses, he loses his grip on reality and embarks on a bloody rampage around NYC.

Sick Sock Monsters From Outer Space (2015)

An Italian sci-fi and horror romp acquired for distribution by Troma, Sick Sock Monsters From Outer Space is exactly what it sounds like. In the film, sock puppet aliens in a distant galaxy are forced by their autocratic ruler to subject every creature across the universe to tanning bed showers.

The crew of a space ship known as Dolcezza Extrema, helmed by Captain Pixws, are selected to complete the mission. Only one live-action performer acts in the film; every other character, as the title implies, is a sick sock puppet.

Screamplay (1985)

Rufus Butler Seder directs and stars in Screamplay, a black-and-white, grainy exploration of the creative process. Seder's character Edgar Allen brings his typewriter to Hollywood, where he hopes to make it big as a screenwriter.

Mother's Day (1980)

Considered a seminal Troma film, Mother's Day is a vicious, vulgar horror film about dangerous families. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman's brother Charles, it tells the story of two men who impress their psychopathic mother by torturing women.

At their beloved matriarch's behest, Ike and Addley kidnap three women and bring them to their dilapidated home deep in the woods. From there, mother, played by Beatrice Pons, watches on gleefully as her offspring do her murderous bidding.

Spidarlings (2016)

Spidarlings is an LGBTQ+ horror musical directed by Selene Kapsaski. Couple Matilda and Eden struggle to make ends meets in London, and Matilda starts dancing in a nightclub called Juicy Girls in the city's Soho neighborhood.

Unfortunately, the club is being targeted by a serial killer. Things get even more horrific when Matilda and Eden buy a pet tarantula that brings them more harm than good.
