Troma Entertainment, the longest-running independent movie studio in North America, proudly announces the March 11th Blu-ray release of Eating Miss Campbell. This latest title adds a new entry to Troma’s storied catalog of cult classics.
Troma’s Storied Legacy
For over half a century, Troma has delivered offbeat cinematic masterpieces like The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Class of Nuke ‘Em High, Cannibal! The Musical, and Tromeo and Juliet. Founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz continue that tradition with Eating Miss Campbell—a high school horror/comedy with a ravenous appetite for the grotesque.
What is Eating Miss Campbell?
Eating Miss Campbell follows Beth Conner (Lyndsey Craine, Book of Monsters), a vegan-goth introvert attending an elite high school in England. Everything changes when the enigmatic new teacher, Miss Campbell (Lala Barlow), arrives on campus. Their unexpected connection ignites a transformation in Beth, who soon abandons her strict vegan lifestyle in favor of a far more disturbing appetite. Eager to win the school’s celebrated “All You Can Eat Massacre” contest with its unique first prize, Beth embarks on a journey that blurs the lines between dark comedy and horror.
Director’s Vision and Reprising Roles
Directed by Liam Regan as a follow-up to My Bloody Banjo, Eating Miss Campbell infuses an English sensibility into the wild, irreverent style born in Tromaville, New Jersey. While not a sequel, the film sees familiar faces returning:
- Vito Trigo (Return to Nuke ‘Em High)
- Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Entertainment President and creator of The Toxic Avenger)
- Dani Thompson (Video Shop Tales of Terror)
- Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede sequels)
These Troma veterans bring a distinctive flavor to a film that tackles posh academia, cannibalism, school violence, alternate realities, and more with a twisted sense of humor.

- A Making Of documentary
