They made a tv show out of this… I vaguely remember the theme song.

I remember about 80% of the theme song. I always will. No idea why.

Probably because it's just the title repeated again and again

This pales in comparison to that other musical-comedy-horror show, but it's still a good enough time.

Before I clicked the link, I guessed it would be The Little Shop of Horrors. But this is great too. I remember doing the time warp!

Almost as scary as Night of the Lepus.

There's nothing scarier than a killer bunny rabbit! ;)

One of the movie's highlights, for sure!

Reminder that this movie not only had a sequel, but it was one of George Clooney's earliest roles.

It has 3 sequels! 4 if we're counting the tv series as well. ;) But yeah, Return of the Killer Tomatoes! has George Clooney. That one is actually my favourite 🍅 movie in the series.

I still have my copy. It's... not great haha

Loved it as a kid anyway even though I sucked at it.

Lol, my mom went to high school with the guys that made this movie so we always had a copy around the house. It's terrible in the best way possible.
