Metal Life Magazine visited the Troma Entertainment booth at San Diego Comic Con 2010 and we checked out the wares. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead of course was pretty popular. We briefly talked about the upcoming Toxic Avenger remake and the upcoming remake of "Mother's Day."


Lloyd was a very busy man as you can see when we had to find him hiding on the phone in front of some "off access" doors. With a ton of appearances scheduled and some more movies to make, Lloyd will probably be spending more and more time on that phone.

Inspired by the low budget movie god, we went outside the convention center to go get a good look at the Troma-mobile:

Review: Kingdom of the Spiders (William Shatner)



Rating: 7/10

Picture "Night of the Living Dead" with spiders instead of zombies. To add to the horror, William (dramatic pause) Shatner is the leading hero. He still gets the girls, even without the captain outfit.

Mr Shatner plays Rack Hansen, an animal vet who teams up with Diane Ashley (Tiffany Bolling), an entomologist, to try to stop an army of spiders who have run out of food due to our overuse of pesticides. The spiders have discovered that we are easy food. Hunting cooperatively, thousands and thousands of spiders ravish a small Arizona town.

This cult classic has been brought back to life as a special edition with (gasp) bonus material. This includes an interview with William Shatner, a featurette, audio commentary by the director, behind the scenes footage and the original theatrical trailer.

As if the campy feeling of the movie wasn't MSTK fodder enough, during the Shatner interview, he proudly boasts that he did not use "stunt spiders", they were real.

Definitely not a "scary" movie, unless you're arachnophobic, but sometimes the cheesey, campy horror movies are more fun to watch and this one is right up there with the best of it's kind.
