The Killer Tomatoes were the by-product of nefarious experiments performed by mad scientist Dr. Putrid T. Gangreen who like all mad scientists wanted to rule the world with the help of his veggie creations.

To thwart the Doctor's evil plan two teenagers (Chad and Tara) from the town of San Zucchini battled to keep the squishy red killer tomatoes from hurting mankind.

Theme Song Lyrics
(from TV Show)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

From Gangreen's lab come forth each week
The ripe red monsters of which we speak
Except when he has a security leak!

Tomatoes, Tomatoes!

Oh, isn't it pretty frightening
Tomatoes eating the city
Can no-one stop these mutant fruits
Where will we find our brave recruits?
Can Wilbur ever get rid of that dumb parachute?

Theme Song Lyrics
(1980 Movie)

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you,
Squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch
And finish you off for dinner or lunch!
They're marching down the halls
They're crawling up the walls
They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy
Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!
Remember Herman Farbage
While taking out his garbage
He turned around and he did see
Tomatoes hiding in his tree
Now, he's just a memory!
I know I'm going to miss her
A tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today
They're marching in San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!
