All screenings will be presented by the Alamo Rolling Roadshow, a mobile movie battalion arm of Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema that has traveled the country for years providing 35mm screenings on their immense drive-in sized screen! Films will feature a cast introduction and Q&A from attending guests!

Tickets are available in advance or before each screening! We'll be enjoying TROLL 2, TROLL and THE CRAWLERS under the stars in glorious 35mm on our gorgeous larger-than-drive-in sized screen! Just bring along a blanket or folding chair and take in the most entertaining and bizarre cinematic experiences in Utah's history!

TROLL 2

(Dir. Claudio Fragasso aka “Drake Floyd”, 1990, 35mm, 95 min, PG-13) An ultra-rare second-time-anywhere-ever 35mm screening of the most neckbreakingly entertaining film in the history of trash cinema! This is the one that started The Infection and put Nilbog on the map, not to mention creating a rabid international legion of Goblins in Disguise! The ULTIMATE in no-brow excitement!

TROLL

(Dir. John Carl Buechler, 1986, 35mm, 82 min, PG-13)
Rare 35mm screening Though it admittedly doesn’t have all that much to do with TROLL 2, this was the celluloid behemoth that paved the way for all things TROLL! Diminutive threats to mankind abound in this fantastical pseudo-family adventure! As if that’s not enough, see Sonny Bono painfully transform into a magical forest

CRAWLERS a.k.a. TROLL 3

(Dir. Joe D’Amato aka “David Hills”, 1990, 35mm, 91 min, R)
First 35mm screening EVER of this extremely unofficial entry in the nebulous TROLL canon, this non-Nilbogian vegetation-based adventure concerns evil radioactive trees that use their limbs to tear apart ours! Filmed by the legendary D’Amato under one of his many pseudonyms, this film may not feature a bevy of hungry goblins, but it certainly contains enough foresty weirdness to earn its place in the TROLL family, uh, tree.

QUEST FOR THE MIGHTY SWORD a.k.a. THE HOBGOBLIN a.k.a. TROLL 3: THE SWORD OF POWER

(Dir. Joe D’Amato aka “David Hills”, 1990, 94 min, PG-13)
Incredibly rare screening of Joe D’Amato’s shoestring sword-and-sorcery epic that features an actual costume from TROLL 2 being worn by the character Grindel the Sorcerer. In fact, for this reason alone, the film was re-titled TROLL 3: THE SWORD OF POWER by its German distributor. This is also part of Italy’s successful ATOR, THE FIGHTING EAGLE series.

BEYOND DARKNESS

(Dir. Claudio Fragasso a.k.a. “Clyde Anderson”, 1990, 95 min, R)
Outrageously unheard-of screening of TROLL 2 director Claudio Fragasso’s haunted mansion epic, also released as HOUSE 5…even though HOUSE IV wouldn’t come out until two years later! This film reunited the Italian filmmaker with young TROLL 2 star Michael Stephenson, and creates an air of bizarre, unfathomable terror. No, really.

…in addition, we’ll be having several screenings of TROLL 2-related films made by and for fans of the film…including YOU! For more information, READ ON!
