In 1978, the screenwriting trio of John DeBello, Costa Dillon, and Stephen Peace cultivated a demented seedling of an idea into the horror-comedy Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
In 2023, Encyclopocalypse Publications is uprooting the vine-ripened viscousness once again. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes follows the tribulations of Mason Dixon, frontman for a motley crew of do-gooders tasked by the President to discover why the once-peaceful produce has unleashed hell upon humankind. Slathering contemporary film and hot-button issues of the period – war, commercialism, government conspiracies – underneath a saucy red coating of murder and mayhem, Tomatoes’ story is as outlandish as it is original. The film has ingrained itself into the lexicon of B-movie buffs and has endured across generations of fandom through sequels, video games, and even a Saturday morning cartoon series.
Penned by Stoker-award-winning author Jeff Strand and releasing on April 14th, 2023 Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Novelization will be available everywhere books are sold. You can pre-order now. You can buy direct physical copies from Encyclopocalypse right now at BuyHorrorBooks.com and receive early shipping.
