Details are on their way, but the contest begins on April 15 and runs through May 15. Once the final films are in, they will all be watched by the TROLLCON organizers as well as viewed and rated by the public at large! There will be several screenings through the TROLLCON weekend! Top prizes will be awarded at TROLLCON by George “Farmer Waits” Hardy, Michael “Joshua” Stephenson and other cast members of TROLL 2!

SCHEDULE FOR NILBOG INVASION DAY 2: SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 2008:

2:00 – TROLL 2 CAST PANEL - The entire cast of TROLL 2 will appear to answer any and all questions about the Best Worst Movie of all time. Ever wonder what was in the Nilbog milk container? How did Holly perfect that incredible dance? What druid magic transported the magic stone to Utah? All will be revealed at this historic summit!

3:30 – POPCORN-EATING COMPETITION – We all know that kissing can lead to something else…an RV full of popcorn! So we’re going to have a mobile home’s worth of popcorn on hand to be devoured by some brave volunteers that have what it takes to devour the starch of romance! Watch as they fill their gullets with Creedence the Witch’s favorite snack! UPDATE!: We're hard at work on getting some actual International Federation of Competitive Eating superstar gluttons in on this event, so get your eyeballs and gullets ready for a TRUE feast of tranzodimensional popcorn proportions!

4:00 – JAVELIN TOSS COMPETITION hosted by Darren “Arnold” Ewing - Mister “Oh My Gaaaaaawwwdd!” himself will be on hand to referee the ultimate in goblin sports: javelin throwing! Do you have what it takes to land the spear in the Arnold effigy? Well step up, goblin warrior, and let it fly!

4:30 – TROLL 2 FILMMAKERS PANEL - Writer/director Claudio Fragasso and co-writer Rosella Drudi will be joined by select members of the cast to unveil some of the mysteries behind the making of TROLL 2. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn what made these legendary European auteurs tear the lid off of Nilbog's myriad secrets!!

6:00 – GUITAR HERO “NILBOG HIGH” SHREDDING WAR! - You may not know that the video game Guitar Hero featured several rounds at Nilbog High School! Well, we’re bringing those six-stringed heroics to Nilbog proper in a guitar-shredding showdown that will leave no ears unsinged!

7:30 – NILBOG FEAST (Ultimate Deluxe passholders only) - Nationally renowned chefs John Bullington and Trish Eichelberger will be flying out to prepare you an epic TROLL 2 feast unlike anything ever seen in or outside of Nilbog! Expect delicacies from the magical goblin world, some vegetarian delights, a sampling of forbidden meats, plenty of GREEN and the most memorable dining experience you’ll have in your lifetime!

9:00 – SPECIAL SCREENING: the TOP 5 TROLL 2 FILMMAKING FRENZY winners will be played on the big screen before TROLL 2!

9:30 – RARE 35MM SCREENING: 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!

11:00 - Sneak preview screening of BEST WORST MOVIE plus a screening of the winners of the Troll 2 Fan Film contest.

11:30 – RARE SCREENING: BEYOND DARKNESS aka EVIL DEAD 5 aka HOUSE 5
(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.

12:30 – RARE SCREENING: 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. Please note, due to noise ordinance issues, we will be screening this final film indoors.

* * 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! Almost all films will feature a cast introduction and Q&A! * *
