The Original: 'Tomato That Ate Cleveland' (1974)
According to Harry Knowels from the website "Ain't It Cool News", this 1974 horror spoof that predates 'Attack of the Killer Tomatos' by four years---is actually the superior film...
"I know Austin films that don’t seem to freaking exist any more like Bruce Maness’ THE TOMATO THAT ATE CLEVELAND that was shot in Austin in 1974, 4 years before THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES claimed ownership of the killer nature of the tomato. And God, I’d love to see that film again!"
Apparantly a poster exists for the film:

But, this film is not listed anywhere on the IMDb.
So, what gives? Does anybody out there know anything more about this extremely obscure film from 1974?
