Daily Dead reported that a poster has been released for Chris LaMartina’s Spirit Tasting, which is scheduled for a U.S. roadshow with filmmaker and cast appearances. The report also lists a November 6–7 Las Vegas event for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, including a Friday panel; dates and ticket conditions are based on the report and may require confirmation.
Daily Dead reported that a new poster is available for Chris LaMartina’s horror film Spirit Tasting, alongside plans for a U.S. roadshow with filmmaker and cast appearances. The same roundup lists a November 6–7 screening event for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence at Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas, with a filmmaker and cast panel scheduled after the Friday screening.
According to the report, the Spirit Tasting poster features original artwork by Marc Schoenbach of Sadist Art Designs and is intended for use at live events. The film is described as a post-punk variation on The Monkey’s Paw: three former bandmates meet at a distillery on New Year’s Eve to toast a friend who has died. A sommelier invites them to a tasting where each bottle requires a wish, and the wishes turn dangerous.
The roadshow is presented as running from November through January, with LaMartina and selected cast members expected to introduce screenings and take part in question-and-answer sessions. The supplied report lists stops in Baltimore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Red Bank, Brooklyn, Seymour, Providence, Salem, Catskill, Wind Gap, Ashburn and Harrisburg. It also says a Blu-ray release will accompany the tour and include bonus features, including a feature-length making-of documentary.
The Las Vegas event is set at Universal Horror Unleashed at AREA15. The report says Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will screen at 8 p.m. on November 6 and 7, with doors opening at 4 p.m. A Friday panel is scheduled for 9:30 p.m.; named participants include director David Ferino, producer Michael Polis and tomato puppeteer Victor Yerrid, with cast members also listed. The report says attendees need a Universal Horror Unleashed ticket and a Premiere House reservation to attend the screening.
Two Horror Projects Meet Their Audiences
The announcements point to different ways genre films are reaching fans: Spirit Tasting is being promoted through a touring series of screenings and in-person appearances, while the new Killer Tomatoes film is getting a themed Las Vegas event with a post-screening discussion. For audiences, those formats can offer access to cast and filmmakers as well as a chance to see independent or cult-oriented releases in a group setting.
The report also describes Organic Intelligence as the franchise’s first new feature in more than three decades. That characterization comes from the source material, and the event may bring renewed attention to a series that began in 1978. Neither announcement, on its own, establishes wider distribution plans or audience response.

How the Screenings Are Framed
LaMartina directed and edited Spirit Tasting, with a screenplay credited to LaMartina and Michael Varrati. Its listed cast includes Sean Doherty, Matt Lake, Melissa LaMartina and Trevor Wilhelms, with cameos from Grady Hendrix, Clay McLeod Chapman, Peaches Christ and Henry Zebrowski. The report says LaMartina recently appeared on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs to screen WNUF Halloween Special and mentioned that the new film would arrive before year’s end; it says the project was formally announced by Variety three days later.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence is described as a continuation of the comedy-horror franchise launched in 1978. The report credits David Ferino as director, Michael Polis as producer and original franchise creator Costa Dillon as writer. John Astin returns as Professor Nicholas Gangreen. The story follows a young corporate prodigy who goes rogue while working under the aging professor, according to the supplied description.
“Universal Horror Unleashed is the perfect home for us, because these are people who take their monsters seriously, and our monsters happen to be tomatoes.”
— Director David Ferino, as quoted in Daily Dead’s report
Dates, Access and Release Details
The supplied report does not provide a publication date or year for the listed events, so the calendar year for the November-to-January Spirit Tasting roadshow and the November 6–7 Las Vegas screening cannot be independently established from this material alone. The stated schedule should be checked with the venues or event organizers before making plans.
Several practical details also remain unspecified, including the price of any roadshow tickets, whether every appearance is confirmed, and the Blu-ray’s release date and full feature list. For the Las Vegas event, the report says a Premiere House reservation is required and that tickets start at $14.99, but it does not provide a direct booking link here. Additional cast members for Friday’s panel were still to be announced in the source report.
Check Venue Updates Before Attending
The next listed developments are the scheduled screenings and in-person events: Spirit Tasting’s roadshow, followed by the Las Vegas screenings and Friday panel for Organic Intelligence. Fans should confirm dates, reservations, ticket availability and appearance lineups with the relevant theaters or Universal Horror Unleashed before traveling.
Further announcements may clarify the roadshow schedule, Blu-ray release timing and any remaining panel guests. The supplied report does not give a later release date or confirm whether any listed plans have changed.
