Igor and the Lunatics is a 1985 horror film directed by Billy Parolini and distributed by Troma Entertainment. The film follows Paul, a maniacal cult leader, and his group of murderous followers, Igor and Bernard, who, after being sent to prison after a killing spree, are released sixteen years later, only to return to their killings.

Production

The movie was financed by Troma Entertainment who were so unhappy with the final product that they did extensive reshoots and re-editing to add more gore and more action into the film. The final version of the film has numerous co-directors credited, one specifically for action and gore scenes.

The movie did become a cult-classic and a staple of the Troma library. T.J. Glenn who worked on the film both as an actor and stunt person would go on to work on numerous other Troma titles - most famously; Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
