The MST3K crew is at it's best when riffing on bitter drunken unhappily married couples sniping at each other. This, The Leech Woman, The Space Children, etc.
man Patrick Brantseg's Gypsy sucked compared to Jim Mallon's, but Kevin Murphy's Servo kicked Josh Weinstein's servo's ass, and Bill Corbett's Crow stomped Trace Beaulieu's Crow.
Ya know, I've been really getting into Rifftrax lately...still watching the hell out of MST3K though, but because I've been mixing, I was half expecting a good "NOT THE BEEEEEEES!!!!" from one of them. hahaha! Nonetheless, it doesn't matter how many times I've seen this, I still laugh myself to tears at all the bowler hat guy parts!
To think the great Robert Bloch (author of Psycho) wrote this film. According to Wikipedia: "Bloch blamed the film's poor showing on the fact he wrote it for Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff, who ultimately were unable to be cast due to scheduling difficulties, and on the fact that the director, with the aid of a writer called Anthony Marriott, decided to 'improve' his script. Consequently the film "soon buzzed off into critical oblivion, unwept, unhonoured and unstung" wrote Bloch."
So Merlin's Shop ISN'T the only MST movie that kills an cute, innocent dog. Word of advice people: If you don't want your movie to be trashed on a show like this, don't kill animals that everyone loves.
@tlrledbetter Actually, in general, I'm glad when the dog gets killed because it means that the stupid humans running away from whatever horrible thing aren't dying to save the dumb animal (although I will concede that's not happening here). ...and I do like dogs, but I have seen too many stupid movies where people die stupid pointless deaths because they want to save their precious Fido.
...but another movie where a dog gets killed is Revenge of the Creature.
All the witty things they come up with often makes me wonder, but then I think about all the writing that goes into it. The spent allot of time making this seem nonchalant and easy.
This is going to make me sound like a total drama nerd but the guy in this film playing Manfred... played Iago opposite Lawrence Olivier in 1965. What he was doing in this piece of shit, I can't fathom.
You'd think he'd just trap her in the house, not try and kill her. She's quite pretty and has been nice to him before he revealed that he's batshit crazy. He could hope for Stockholm Syndrome to develop or something.
So, the guy at the end was the guy at the beginning reading the letter from Manfred about the killer bees... a completely pointless framing device, I grant you, but I got it.
when the bees were attacking the hagged out, drunken wretch, all I could think was "oh you poor bees"...then I started rooting for them: "die you leathery, soused, and decidedly unpleasant limey cow"...then, full of shame for my feelings, I again thought of the bees...the bees....always the bees...oh! the beenamity!....bloody awful movie, tho well acted...a nice lezzie scene betwixt the singer and the hired girl would have been nice...having the doogie die was horrible tho; where's my honeyjar?
37:46 or something was hilarious...

Analogkid, thanks for posting these MST3K videos! I loved this show when I was in high school, and its been a lot of fun to watch them again.
Please post more if you have any, esp. the latter episodes with Mike, Kevin as Tom Servo, and Bill as Crow.
