THE STORY
Tromaville High faces another wave of contamination and mutation. Two students try to make sense of a school whose everyday horrors are getting dramatically stranger.
Nitehawk Cinema’s exhibition record lists this as a 2013 film directed by Lloyd Kaufman, running 85 minutes. Asta Paredes and Catherine Corcoran play the central students, Chrissy and Lauren. This entry covers Volume 1, not Return to Return to Nuke ’Em High AKA Volume 2.
INSIDE THE FILM
CHRISSY AND LAUREN VS. TROMAVILLE HIGH
Asta Paredes and Catherine Corcoran play the central students. The school’s glee club has become the Cretins, and the story brings the school setting into conflict with the Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate.
