Oh My Goddd: Troll 2 Festival Is Invading Morgan, Utah

thumbnail icon: Oh My Goddd: Troll 2 Festival Is Invading Morgan, Utah

Despite repeated nomination, the film widely considered to be the worst movie ever made, 1990's Troll 2, is not in the running to win The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time, because it has no A- or B-list stars. But I think anyone who has seen the movie knows it's a classic of bad movie making, beginning with the fact that it's a sequel to a movie it has absolutely nothing to do with. The makers and stars of Troll 2 have long gotten over their embarrassment and embraced the film's cult status, and on June 27--29 "every conceivable person, film, and creature in the entire Troll 2 universe will converge on Nilbog itself" (Morgan, Utah, where the movie was filmed) for what looks like a spectacularly put together festival involving a bologna-eating contest, a "probably illegal Molotov cocktail toss," and a guitar hero competition (because those are fun).

The local newscasters in Utah seem a little baffled by the Troll 2 frenzy, but could the film's stars have grown up to be cooler about their roles in this movie? (They're working on a documentary about the Troll 2 phenomenon called The Best Worst Movie).


The famous "oh my god" scene:

They really need to do this for The Room next.
