Frightening Fall, Freaky Fall, Occult October, Afterlife Autumn.

I feel like I somehow predicted the 3 movies correctly.

It just occurred to me that there is very likely to be a couple Holiday-Themed vaults later this year. Here are my picks:

Halloween/October (Lots of horror flicks to pick from, but I’ll try to pick the most Halloween choices I can think of):
Manos: The Hands of Fate
Horror at Party Beach
The Unearthly
The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies
The Brain that Wouldn’t Die
Zombie Nightmare

Christmas!:
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Santa Claus
Jack Frost
Mitchell (This gets in sheerly on Die Hard logic.)
Space Mutiny (I don’t know if this helps, but Ho Ho Ho!)
The Day the Earth Froze

Keep in mind for December there are three Special Events in December before the Christmas Dragon episode. Chances are those are going to be the previous Christmas themes movies, so I doubt they would be Vault Picks.

Spies and Crimefighters:

Secret Agent Super Dragon
Operation Double 007
Danger!! Death Ray
Code Name: Diamond Head
Angels Revenge
Final Justice

Leaving out obvious choice Mitchell because it’s already been the subject of so many tributes and replays.

“Good Boys Gone Boring”

The troublemakers, hoodlums, ne’er-do-wells and no-good-nicks collected together somehow still are not even moderately intimidating…

Side Hackers
Wild Rebels
The Beatniks
Daddy-O
Teen-Age Crime Wave
I Accuse My Parents

In September they have 2 options to draw from - Sumuru, which had me thinking “Spies and Agents”, sadly, no streaming rights for H.A.R.M. or Riding with Death, but they’d have those you mentioned and a few others…

Secret Agent Super Dragon
Operation Double 007
Danger!! Death Ray
Code Name: Diamond Head
Mighty Jack
Rocket Attack, U.S.A.

Needing a 7th - Project Moonbase, Human Duplicators, Radar Secret Service

There’s enough for the 6 Vault Picks and a tribute

If they go with The Shape of Things to Come, at month’s end, there’s no end of space adventure they can tap into, so that’s an easy theme.

Guessing that this will be a spy theme - what do you think we’ll get? I guess:

(Agent for H.A.R.M. is not available, BTW)

  • Danger!! Death Ray
  • Operation Kid Brother
  • Project Moonbase
  • Radar Secret Service
  • Rocket Attack U.S.A.
  • Secret Agent Super Dragon

I don’t think they have the rights to that one anymore.

They do, but it’s listed twice in the Gizmoplex for some reason. One of them doesn’t work.

Someone brought up a KTMA month in the live thread. This was in reference to Million Eyes of Sumuru being brought back for Season 13. I absolutely loved this idea and would not be opposed.

The only downside may be rights issues. Then again, there are a fair amount of movies that were eventually re-riffed in later seasons that could be reused.

It also fits in with the “limited time only” appeal of the Vault Picks - knowing that MSTies only have one month to see a handful of original KTMA episodes in higher quality could be a big incentive to subscribe.

Anyway, I don’t realistically see this happening anytime soon but it could be something to consider if another KTMA film gets re-riffed in future seasons (City on Fire? hmm… :thinking:)

This is already being discussed in this thread:

The common trait of September’s experiments is that they’re both adapted from print medium fiction. So it seems reasonable that the Vault Picks and the Tribute special will follow this. It seems likely that they’ll be among the following, which are all adaptations of print fiction.

Bloodlust
The Castle of Fu Manchu
Devil Doll
Diabolik
First Spaceship on Venus
The Fugitive Alien “movies”
Kitten with a Whip
Outlaw
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
The Painted Hills
Space Travelers
Village of the Giants

So September sees the release of Million Eyes of Sumaru and Shape of Things to Come, which actually opens up an interesting vault theme possibility:

Movies Also Riffed by Rifftrax:

Manos: The Hands of Fate
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders
Jack Frost
Angel’s Revenge
Space Mutiny
