Your illustration reminds me of the last scene in "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" (Carrots pop out of ground, look around, say "they've gone now"...) Also, in a different sense of scale, to the end of "Return of the Killer Tomatoes" - watch the movies. Heed the warning.

The killer tomatoe movies were class acts...I think it's terrible they never got oscars. The budgets on those films was so low if I rooted around down the back of my sofa I could probabley find more than those films cost to make...A review in Motion Picture Guide had this to say about it:-
Thought the idea sounds funny, actually sitting through 90 minutes of it is enough to make anyone long for "Attack of the 50 foot woman".

A tad unfair if you ask me, but then again no one asked. smiley - smiley

I'm told they also made "Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes", and "Killer Tomatoes go to Paris", butI've never been able to locate copies.

Trivia - second billing in "Return of the Killet Tomatoes" was John Astin (The original Gomez Addams), third billing was George Clooney - he doesn't like talking about it in interviews!

I saw the one with George Clooney in it a few months back on cable. He must have really been struggling for work to agree to that one. How I,d love to get a copy and meet him, then thrust it under his nose and ask him to sign it hahahahah smiley - smiley
