[OMFG] IT’S FRIDAY THE 13TH!
It’s Friday the 13th. It’s our own personal holiday that typically comes more than once a year. It’s an excuse to spend the entire day watching horror movies. It’s also a date that most of us genre fiends prefer to revisit New Line Cinema’s classic Friday the 13th franchise.
With the hours already ticking down until Saturday the 14th, time is of the essence (unless of course you play the time zone game). It’s time to drop everything you’re doing and worship the day that has delivered more than a handful of sweet offerings over the past 30 years.
First and foremost, after the break we’ve uploaded the popular YouTube video featuring (nearly) every kill in the Friday the 13th franchise (it hasn’t been updated). In addition, we’d also like to point you to our 2009 series of articles entitled 13 Days of Friday the 13th, which was used to amp up the release of the WB remake. Weeding through the 800+ stories you’ll find a recap of all of the films as well as some gems including “Camp Whisker Lake: Facial Hair and the Friday the 13th Franchise,” “The Nerds of Friday the 13th,” and of course, “The Masks of Jason Voorhees!”
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
