If you could make your own vault picks set, what would be in it? Since this just a TV show, and we should really just relax, the Netflix era episodes are fair game.
For me, I’m thinking (in no particular order):
Monster Mash
Gamera Vs guiron.
Reptilicus.
Bride of the Monster.
The Indestructible Man.
Werewolf.
And… Mitchell.
Yea, Mitchell is a runner-up on my list.
I have one of two theme sets.
One is “optiMSTie’s Favorites.” I pick two favorite episodes from each host, and the set would include:
(I omitted The Final Sacrifice only because the streaming rights aren’t there. Otherwise, I’d switch out Space Mutiny for The Final Sacrifice.)
For a second themed set, I’ll go:
The theme here, obviously, is “Good Guys Vs. Bad Guys.”
…
… oh, wait

Godzilla vs Megalon

I think a good theme for the month would be Actors Who Direct (aka, Directors who starred in their own films)
The six…
Robert Hutton, Slime People
Coleman Francis, Red Zone Cuba
Harold P. Warren, Manos: The Hands of Fate
Vic Savage, The Creeping Terror (played Martin)
Ray Dennis Steckler, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?
Charles B. Pierce, Boggy Creek II
Also considered… Tom Graeff, Teenagers from Outer Space (he played Joe Rogers in a supporting role)
The Corman vault:
It Conquered the Earth
The Undead
The Gunslinger
Attack of the Giant Leeches
Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
Night of the Blood Beast (my favorite)
Lords of the Deep
I probably missed one (or more)
Corman has always equalled fun in Mst3K!
I like to call this collection “Acting Lessons Would Only Get In The Way” featuring:
-Ring Of Terror
-The Horror of Party Beach
-“Manos” The Hands of Fate
-Eegah
-Teen-Age Strangler
-The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies
I feel as if this is impugning the artistic integrity of the “HUMAN BEANS” newscaster.
