.- It was about 2 a.m. on a Sunday when the gross-out horror-comedy Class of Nuke Em High started playing at the Mahoning Drive-In. This was the last screening at TromaDance, an annual showcase of low-budget horror and sex comedies produced by Troma, a movie studio based in the New York City borough of Queens. Earlier that evening, about 600 cars had piled into the drive-in in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, but by 2 a.m., only the die-hards remained. Kevin Schmidt, an extra in the film, was among them.
