Troma Now, Troma Entertainment’s exclusive premium World Premiere content streaming service, celebrates May-hem with the World Premieres of Charlie Cadillac’s monstrous Moonshine Meat Market Mayhem, along with the Troma Now Premieres of Aaron Mento’s Standards of Living and Charles Davis’s The Arc of Methul on May 1, 2017, it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.
After the Third World War the Earth was plunged into chaos. The last remnants of humanity were forced to survive by any means possible. The nuclear fallout that riddled the world destroyed the livestock and poisoned the water. Even the living are dying of radioactive cancer. But, even death is not the end! There is no afterlife when the dead begin to walk!
The world belongs to these undead creatures called Cancer Dancers. The only saving grace left for man comes in the form of moonshine. Without it, you will thirst, for water you cannot drink. Welcome to the end of times.
Shot entirely on an iPad 2, Standards of Living tells the story of Peter, a struggling comedian who takes part in a teleportation experiment that ‘improves’ whatever cargo is being teleported…but the results are no laughing matter.
Written and directed by Aaron Mento and produced by Ocular Migraine Productions, Standards of Living stars Scott Yarborough (Peter Sayer), Bill Ferris (Mr. Randall) and Derek Houck (Stu) in a genre-bending adventure that leaves audiences wondering how much weirder and darker Peter’s journey could possibly get.
Standards of Living is Mento’s first feature-length film. Mento previously wrote and co-created “TV FACE,” the Internet’s first feature-length horror web series, which was nominated for a 2007 Webby Award. His feature-length screenplay “Survival High” was a Top 10 Finalist at the Cinequest Screenplay Competition in 2009. Mento established Ocular Migraine Productions in 2011.
Also coming to Troma Now is Charles Davis’s The Arc of Methul. The Arc of Methul distinguishes itself by being the only film on Troma Now that is a paranormal adventure story told through still image photography and audio.

All the body-piercing, kinky sex, and car crashes that Shakespeare wanted but never had! Join Tromeo (Will Keenan), Juliet (Jane Jensen), and Lemmy of Motorhead as they travel through Manhattan’s underground in search of climactic love, violence, and the American Way. Tromeo and Juliet is thrust forward with hyper-kinetic performances and a cutting-edge soundtrack. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman, and co-written by James Gunn (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy), Tromeo & Juliet is a testament to the strength and creativity of Troma Entertainment, as it boldly suggests the incestuous nature of Shakespeare’s original play.

Troma Entertainment is proud to announce the acquisition of Mark Jones and CB Shamah’s gut-busting, hilarious, one of a kind comedy Worst Laid Plans which is set to have its World Premiere on Troma NowApril 1st. Worst Laid Plans is a sharply hilarious story about four friends who find themselves in dire straits when they get behind in rent. They hatch a plan to come up with some quick cash…but their biggest obstacle is not killing each other first.
Ernie, Max and Nick are tattoo artists who, along with piercer Vit, own A-1 Tattoo. Ernie has the unfortunate task of letting the guys know that they are behind on their rent with no solution in sight. After being humiliated by their landlord, Max comes up with a plan and the guys are convinced it’s the only way they’re going to save their shop. The plan: scan the sex-for-pay ads, set up a meeting with the most perverted and rob them. As things start to spiral out of control, it’s not just the plan but the guys’ friendship that begins to unravel.
With their shop on the verge of closing, a landlord breathing down their necks and a corpse on their hands, Max, Ernie, Vit and Nick can’t help but wonder: maybe they should never have become friends. And maybe, just maybe, they shouldn’t be friends anymore.
After a lengthy sojourn traveling around the United States, working on sets and collecting experiences, CB Shamah settled in the Pacific NW attending the Seattle Film Institute with a focus on cinematography. Since then CB has shot a ton of live music, produced the web series “This Week at the Columbia City Theater”, has camera credits for A Visitor In The Night, Measure Of Comfort and was Cinematographer/Producer for the feature Spree. CB also co-directed and co-produced the Emmy-nominated Welcome To Doe Bay and the live music documentary, Lemolo: A Beautiful Night.
Mark Jones began writing short stories, completing his first screenplay in his teens. After graduating from high school, he would go on to receive a BA in Creative Writing from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, then attended the Seattle Film Institute in Seattle, Washington. Upon graduation, Mark returned to his native New Jersey to direct and produce his horror-comedy screenplay, Spree. Spree screened at several festivals throughout 2007 and was picked up and distributed via Brain Damage Productions. Since that first feature, Mark has created, wrote and starred in the web series, This Week at Columbia City Theater. He was a cinematographer on the documentary Welcome to Doe Bay, and filmed and produced a reality television pilot titled The Shop, which is the influence for his latest screenplay, Worst Laid Plans.
