🚨🧛‍♀️🚨 WE’VE BEEN TROMA-TIZED!!! 🚨🧛‍♀️🚨

D.I.Why? is bloody ecstatic to announce that our film Girls Just Wanna Have Blood has sunk its fangs into TROMA Now! — the wildest, weirdest, most unapologetically independent streaming service in the world!

This ain’t just another streaming service for us—this is a full-blown honor. 95% of reviews compare us to classic Troma, and that’s no accident. We started making movies because of Troma, and now we’re oozing with radioactive pride to be part of the legacy. (even in this very small way) scout out to Troma and Lloyd Kaufman for giving indies like us a really cool place to live!

So grab your garlic, stake, and (a lot of) beer… and stream the blood-soaked, babe-packed, booze-drenched vampire throwback Horror Society called:

“One of the best vampire films they’ve seen in years!”

“BABES! B***S! BOOZE! THROWBACK FLICK SCREAMS FOR VHS AFICIONADOS TO CHECK OUT!”
—- (re)SearchMyTrash

💉 Watch now on Troma Now! and support truly independent cinema the way it was meant to be—bloody, brash, and batsh*t.

Today is the day! Our new video "Temperatures" for Alpha Rabbit just dropped! We built a fake interior of a space ship, filmed the video, and tore down the ship in 24 hours at Exit 7A Creative Services & Studios and filmed all our green screen work at Riverview Studios. Made in two days on a super shoe string budget, this was one of the funnest and most challenging videos we've produced! So excited to see everyone digging all the hard work! Check out the article from V13 Media for all the info and video link! Let us know what you think in the comments!
