Trivia
Made for virtually no money, this film was created by the McCain Brothers, who called in favors from friends, actor buddies and news reporters around the world, they had met on their travels as both actors and newsmen, themselves.

Goofs
The introduction states, "For thousands of years tumbleweeds have roamed freely throughout the great plains of middle America..." In reality, tumbleweeds were first reported in the United States around 1877 in South Dakota, apparently transported in flax seed imported by Ukrainian farmers.

Low/No Budget Thriller

The idea of tumble weeds coming alive & killing people is an interesting albeit ridiculous idea. But haven't we seen some crazy ideas come down the pipeline in the horror genre before? However the writers/producers don't take themselves any more serious than you will take the movie. Watch with the idea that this was made on no budget by a couple of guys whose primary experience is in the talk show/news industry and you will be able to laugh along! I gave it four stars because it is low budget and most of the actors are obviously amateur even though I personally know Butch McCain (My Name is Bruce) ...I should have been easier on him. But I know his real talent is more in the acting/voice and even singing area than writing or directing! Still Killer Tumbleweeds is a fun watch mainly because of the concept and maybe one day a big studio will pick it up remake it into a legit horror or horror/comedy!
