Thank God, Troll 2 is Finally on Hulu!

In recent years, almost anyone who's seen the movie Troll 2 has probably done so via battered VHS or DVD copies loaned to them by friends eager to share the festering green trainwreck of a cinematic masterpiece with everyone they know. This has made for a huge, decades-late upswell of enthusiasm for the film, documented by its former-child-star Michael Stephenson in Best Worst Movie, which we've told you about before. That's all well and good, but there's a darker side to the Troll 2 phenomenon that no one seems to want to talk about.

That would be the rampant "misplacement" of on-loan DVDs by supposed "friends" who just couldn't wait to buy their own copy of the movie before passing it off to a whole new batch of unsuspecting victims (who will, undoubtedly, loan the movie out to their friends, and so on, until the original DVD is never seen or heard from again). This widespread trend has left most Troll 2 aficionados with no choice except to keep scrounging around used DVD racks for a replacement copy or peppering their bank statements with multiple purchases for $9.86 from WalMart.com. And that's just embarrassing, even for b-movie fiends who spend their free time screening some of the worst atrocities ever committed to celluloid.

But fret no more! Troll 2 is now available in its gloriously awful entirety on Hulu. Pushing the movie on friends is now as easy (and risk free!) as copying and pasting a link. This link, to be exact.

Not quite sold on the whole Troll 2 phenomenon? Hulu has also broken down some of the film's best moments into clips, including one of my very favorite scenes. Behold:
