MST3K 0701 - Night of the Blood Beast (1/10)

[TheUnfortunate9]

Is this the inspiration for the Power Steves?

[sleepyhollow783]

9:50 "Hmm, what would Liberace do? Well, I better not do that!"

[Yapshire]

It's the pope about the one sexual position. Ha-ha!

[nextgentacos123]

@babypanda8u What was your first episode? Mine was Horrors of Spider Island.

[Dominoes282]

CLAYTON

[babypanda8u]

I wasn't alive when this show was on tv. I'm so glad my dad introduced this to me. He was such a big fan, he recorded so many episodes on video.

[ChevronTango]

now they'll get immaculate reception!!!! LOL!

[haleymist09]

After Frank leaves, Dr. Forester kinda acts like a little kid who's best friend has move away. He doesn't have anyone around to play games with! Only his demasculating mother. Thank goodness she *didn't* have that daughter.

And I think Mike has a little cold. :(

Oh, and that music stand brings back so many high school memories.

[AustralianTVClassics]

5:04 What song is Crow playing on the trombone?

[GoblinXXX]

@AustralianTVClassics At 5:04 it's the Tiger Rag, better known as "Hold That Tiger"-- First recorded in 1917, but it was around before that. It became a big hit again in 1931 for the Mills Brothers. (More than you ever wanted or needed to know.)

[SchedeenIndeed]

I love everybody. Trace, Mary Jo, Kevin, Bill, Frank, Joel AND Mike. And everyone who ever served as short-term/one shot roles. I feel like not enough people say this. :P

[MrBuch169169]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold on.

Pearl was Dr Forrester's MOTHER this whole time? For ten years I didn't realise this?

[Minyositine]

@MrBuch169169 reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard

[MrBuch169169]

@Minyositine You're right, random guy. It was really foolish of me not to have seen this season, which never aired in my country. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.

[Minyositine]

@MrBuch169169 You're welcome

[FredDude27]

Steve?

[d983394]

i still don't know what this short was trying to sell/tell us

[GoblinXXX]

@d983394 To rut like crazed weasels the first chance you get, or you'll end up having to write a musical instead. And decorate with phones.

[dlkohl1981]

Oh no! Angel dust! LOL

[JohnnyC133]

Does anyone else cringe when Dr. Forrester hits Mike on the head with the hammer? Even if it's fake, it still looks like it hurt like hell.

[TheJohnmegu]

"Preceded by the 'charming'" short...???

[EmilyDNelson]

I love how Crow's "trombone" playing is so clearly a synth. It's cute to watch him TRY to grip the mouthpiece without lips, though.

[VICITVIR]

I really dislike Mary Jo for some reason, more annoying than funny, even moreso when she took over for Trace. I like how she keeps calling Crow "Art", though. :P

[pretorious700]

I like the fact that Dr. Forrester's trying to play "Girl From Ipanema" on the 'bone.

[Spameggssausage]

most disappointing Heaven since "The Last Battle".

[Tanyableu]

...is Cambot saying 'kill yourself?!"

[GoblinXXX]

@Tanyableu No, and your neighbor's dog is not telling you to kill hookers, either. (They're saying "Show yourself!" when they introduce Cambot.)

[vinushka01]

Lucy, I'm dead!

7:08 Oh lol XD

What would Liberace do? ... Hmm, better not do -that-.

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

Lol Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester

[eits1986]

Mike's voice sounds weird in this episode...

[pockypurse]

:C I remember seeing the poopie reel and seeing Trace get smacked so hard his mouth start bleeding. I can't watch the trombone solo anymore without feeling extreme sympathy/nausea now. T_T

[Tanyableu]

@pockypurse Funny, I don't recall that...now I'll haft go look!

[Applemask]

Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester,

[Cassavius]

I had an angel rotten in my chimney once...8D

[ChaoticYak]

Just go, you big poof!

[tokyopanda13]

"You want I should show her a good time?" oh, my ribs...lmfao...xDDD

[Theburn77]

"You want I should show them a goodtime?"

[ChaoticYak]

They live in a doll house.

I'm leaving you.

Oh, I thought I was leaving you.

[joaquindemancha]

Corporate angels had cellphones fifty years ago!

[ilikethecoke]

Hold that Tiger!

Hold that Tiger!

Here, Kitty Kitty Kitty Kitty Kitty!

[masticina]

...spring time for hitler

Aaaah such a good one. 

[pretorious700]

you mean even in heaven you must brown nose your boss? 

[antgav79]

what would libarchie do??? no i better not do that! lol 

[pretorious700]

@antgav79 liberace...why can't anyone spel anymor?

[antgav79]

@pretorious700 well in my case its cus of vodka and mtn. dew

[pretorious700]

@antgav79 that'll do it

[spleonar]

MST3K is actually on eof the things that brought my husband and I together in the first place.  He saw to it that "Manos" was my first. It explains a lot about us, really.

[Gjeorje]

Mike`s "I was known as something of a Chic Handler" joke at 5:35 only works if you ignore the C of the surname, but not the christian name....he`s actually a "hick handler" which is a different thing altogether....

[Gjeorje]

God I hate Pearl.

[QuatermassMan]

"Hmm, what would Liberrache do? Eh. Better not do that."

[AlanSessler]

In this version of the theme song Cambot says Kill yourself? Really?

[DementedJuggalette]

@AlanSessler he says "Show yourself" not "kill yourself"

[AlanSessler]

@DementedJuggalette thanks. That sure is a lot nicer and makes a lot more sense for Cambot to say. In any case we can assume that the theory about depressed people wanting to kill themselves to "subliminal messages" from Ozzy or Metallica is even more laughable if they were also mst3k fans and heard what I thought I heard.

[Dulcimerist]

I miss TV's Frank...

[Windclaw]

7:53

Crow: Bzzz bzzz bzzzzzz bzzzzz!

Mike: Blaaaaaaaaagggg!

XD

[PixelatedParfait]

O ~ O what the heck was with the opening short?? people had a lot of time back then!

[pretorious700]

I get creeped out when they mention Michael Jackson and "Lisa Marie"......pop culture makes me nauseous

[KMxHearts]

Dr. Forrester looks so lonely in the opening!

[DementedJuggalette]

aww TV's Frank. How i miss ye

[belladonna4577]

"i want to have sex!" XD

[pretorious700]

The Dr. F episodes with his mom were very strange....awkward....very weird chemistry between Trace and Mary Jo. I guess it was a transitional phase.

[feverdeanmg]

4:34 - I think Mary Jo really hurt Trace!

If anyone could get me a copy of episode 213 I would be eternally grateful. I could pay you for the DVD and postage but not for the program itself, that would be illegal.

[SpooketteUndead]

@feverdeanmg My previous account was deleted for uploading the Godzilla and Gamera MST3K episodes, unfortunately. I can't risk it with this account, but you can download it free from the Digital Archive Project (it's where I get all my episodes).

[akje93]

@SpooketteUndead How do you download them from there? Ive been to the site and cant figure it out :(

[DrWhiggs]

@feverdeanmg He started bleeding in one of the outtakes.

[SinnFein4ever]

@feverdeanmg

Science-Fiction conventions are probbably your best bet for getting your hands on loads of MST3K episodes (and probbably every single one ever made).

Sci-Fi/fantasy conventions (and even comic book, and action-figure ones), are a great place to score loads of bootlegged copys of things that either were never publicly released, or are so obscure that it's almost impossible to find copies.

I even got a copy of the Nick Fury TV movie at one.

[evilegg288]

@feverdeanmg Search YouTube for "MST3K Poopie! 2" and see how right you are on that point... it's really a bit alarming, in fact.

[slickksmith]

@feverdeanmg As a trombone player, I guarantee you that getting hit like that will draw blood and may even bust a lip.

[asalingerreference]

Gypsy's reaction to Crow's playing is great.

[Ivodrone881]

Who doesn't love MST3k ?

Commies, that's who :D

[JamesEvil9]

I want a 24 hour MST3K channel. I'd never watch anything else....well ok, a couple other things, but mostly this.

[kilgaon]

"Can we get a gay man for our roof, honey?"

[baroquejen]

Just a note - there is a facebook group dedicated to people who use MST3K as white noise. It is called "I watch MST3K to go to sleep".

[mrsoultwister]

"sir, should we get on the wars, or starvation, or anything, or..."

[Ivaneus27]

@MrKinkypanther It's from the Sword and the Dragon. Which is one of my favorites :)

[amyvonfink]

there needs to be some MST3K festival or something for fellow MST3k'ers to come and enjoy this, because i sure as hell don't know anyone else (except for my best friend) who will sit through this with me.

[baroquejen]

@amyvonfink I agree - I went to the second convention in 1996 and attended (among many other things) the midnight viewing of Manos. A huge ballroom full of msties in their pajamas. A little bit of heaven on earth....

[OonaCanute]

@amyvonfink An MST3K festival would be AMAZING.

[Theburn77]

"oh, clayton deborah susan forrester..."

[ingwersengrady]

woah...does it say "kill yourself" when they introduce Cambot?!

[sannayy]

@ingwersengrady hahaha, i used to think that too but i'm pretty sure he just says "show yourself"

[RavnDream]

"It's Springtime for Hitler and Germany!"

[toddclapp]

Just go you big 'poof.'

[whoisdickieschnabel]

"What would Liberace do? Oh. Better not do *that*." ahahahahaha

"It's the pope calling about the one sexual position."

[vlcupper]

Don't tase me, Crow!

Damn that would have been funny about two years ago.

[krows31]

"he's scaring me again!" "AAAAH!"

[Trancemaster2052]

"Sir, should we be getting onto wars, or starvation or anything?"

[elfinfluff]

XD "Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester"

[ChaoticYak]

I love that it's Crow showing up Dr. Forrester.

[krows31]

@ChaoticYak ahaha right??

[ilikethecoke]

I forget, why does Pearl call Crow "Art"?

[SpooketteUndead]

In one of the earlier episodes, Joel did a host segment where he introduced Crow as "Art Crow", in the same way Jackie Gleason would introduce Art Carney.  A kid saw the segment and sent in a letter addressing "Art", aka Crow. The guys thought it was hilarious and decided to make it a running gag. It's a pretty obscure joke.

[whangz]

@SpooketteUndead thanks for that!!!!

[KaterzTheMSTie]

MST3K- The greatest way to start the day.

[LightDeoxys]

Lucy, I'm dead!

[SAPProd]

I wonder if the theology of this short is compatible or clashes with the theology of "Out of this World." Would there be Crusades and Holy Wars if these were the two debating philosophies?

[BryonYoungblood]

Hold that Tiger! Hold that Tiger! Here, kitty kitty kitty kitty--!! XD

Bryon

[albee1000]

Gotta add my voice to those who listen to the show at bedtime. Don't know why it works, but I like having the guys on as I'm going to sleep. Its comforting. Even with episodes like this, where Mike is screaming hideously as torturous things are being done to his body. It's a lullaby, i tell ya!

[laughmachine101]

Same here.

[CardCaptorLoki]

Wow, I thought I was the only one. ^^ I must be able to recite some of these episodes by heart by now.

[albee1000]

I heard "California Lady" from "Track of the Moonbeast" un-MSTied a few weeks ago. Just didn't sound right without the boys up front talking over it.

[arutkow]

@albee1000

I ALWAYS start a playlist for when i go to bed! :) Sometimes episodes, shorts, and lately even RiffTrax.

I even made a few playlists, since some of the ones on YouTube have NON mst3k shows mixed in.

I miss this show, it could STILL outperform 90% of the crap that is currently on tv.

[blchapman14]

@arutkow , Wow I thought I was the only one starting playlist before I go to bed...Interesting.

[CaptRodgers]

"Something's coming up in thirty seconds!....Blaaaarrrggghhh!"

"There he is officer!"

[MetalShadowX]

Crow can play the trombone but Forrester can't... I'll let the irony sink in. ;)

[MST3K86]

I always turn on a episode of MST3K while I'm going to sleep or studying (which I've be doing a lot off because I have university finals coming up), so you guys are certainly not alone in that idea. Personally, I just find the voices really soothing and comforting to listen to when I'm trying to relax or concentrate.

[mooreentstudios]

Me too!

[Goblinxx1]

I can see your professor grading your exam now- "MST3K86's test is blank, save for copious amounts of drool, and various MST quotes..."

[MST3K86]

I certainly felt like at times during finals XD

[joemomma46]

"Dear god, I hate theater people"

[swgmigraines]

Oh, wow, the not-Turkey Day one! Cool! I've not seen this one before. Thanks!

[ManaAdvent]

"How many times Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie had sex!"

"It's Springtime for Hitler and Germany."

"Sir, should we get onto wars or starvation or anything?"

"I love it when I get a call in my pants!"

"They should fire grandma as their decorator."

"Me completely out of blow."

[jekblom123]

"Lucy, I'm Deeead!"

[s1lverfalcon]

So this is what goes on in Heaven? I feel cheated. D:

[ademaplanet101]

did cambot in the opening say " go kill yourself" lol

[GBart]

I think Bill was the better Crow.

[LtGripweed]

Did Mike have a cold during the theater segments?

[Trinnztubefun]

I don't think so... he started using the nasally voice around 2:20 after he got sprayed in the face with the "peppercorn mace"

[cubtat2]

I want them eliminated

Come down off the roof

Ya know, they should fire grandma as their decorator

[siefertma]

Isn't Wilber Dropo from Santa Claus Conquers The Martians? He sounds like him.

[maestro1286]

"One of 32 short films about... this guy."

[lucifer42781]

Im seriously just happy im not the only lunatic that still loves this show. i dont have one friend thatll actually sit through this stuff with me....im guessing its because you actually have to pay attention.

[Orbulas]

Not necessarily,, I have it on in the background while I practice piano and guitar, or paint, or do chores or just about anything, even when I go to sleep. It's the ultimate white noise, I've sworn by it for many years now

[lucifer42781]

hahaha yeah ive slept to this show or painted or pretty much everything you mentioned except piano. But usually its episodes ive seen a million times.....which is most of them. Id say i wish theyd bring it back, but im sure theyd find a way to ruin even this gem.

[baroquejen]

There used to be a topic on one of the MST3K Myspace groups that was for people who go to sleep to MST3K. It is so strange - there are a ton of us that have been watching for a long time and do the exact same thing. Something about the quiet voices - they are so familiar and comforting.

[Orbulas]

It beats having parents that love you. Of course, I wouldn't know.

[rachelee8801]

I play MST3K on youtube while I'm at work almost every day. I could never figure out why but having it on in the background helps me focus and concentrate. And I fall asleep to it almost every night. Nice to know I'm not the only one! I thought I was little weird.

[misterroboto1]

Wow I thought I was alone too! We should start a club or something...

[DarkAbsol8811]

Yeah! we should!!!!!! You are not alone!!!!!

[DarkAbsol8811]

You're not weird! I watch it 24/7! I am obsessed with it. I'll listen to it while I'm even doing homework!!!! It does help you concentrate! I'm actually doing my homework and watching this one right now! Love MST3K!!!!!!

[rowsdowr2]

@rachelee8801 I'm rachelee8801 and I'm a MST-aholic. Hi rachelee! But seriously, I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts this on when I go to bed and watches it at work. Now I watch it with my kids and inflict it on my students (I teach college--the "Cheating" short is great when talking about plagiarism and I like to show a "Date With Your Family" before holiday breaks). Sad, but it has gotten me through a lot of bad days and nights over the years. Rowsdower!

[adroklonti]

@rachelee8801 - I fall asleep to MST3k too! I love listening to people talking while I fall asleep. Glad I'm not the only one!

[cale42]

@rachelee8801 You ain't the only one who listens to this night and day, Sister.

Now, wasn't there a version of this episode that was a Thanksgiving episode?

[kylep2]

@rachelee8801 I fall asleep to it too, and I used to do homework to it when I was in school (and when I bothered to do any homework). Falling asleep to it is actually kind of bothersome because it keeps me up for a good 45 minutes, but I just have to watch...!

[rowsdowr2]

@rachelee8801 Nope. I put it on in the background while I grade papers (I am a college instructor) and play them while I fall asleep. Long live MST3K!

[DrWhiggs]

@rowsdowr2 "Please explain your theses in the terms of a ROBOT ROLL CALL and resubmit your essay."

[toddclapp]

@rachelee8801

Same here. Even if it's just the sound. Great "white noise."

[ms0487a]

@rachelee8801 No you're not. I was a late comer. I became a fan back in '99. I used to work graveyard and every morning when I would get home, this show would be on Sci-Fi. After the first time I was hooked. The one episode that stuck out for me since '99, before great people like Tirol and Spookett blessed us, was "Agent for H.A.R.M." I'd never laughed so hard at a television program. And every morning, i'm at work yawning because I stayed up watching the short, "Out of this World."

[Joefonzgoldenarms]

@ms0487a i started watching in like 98 but i think that was the best time mike kills joel i think and crows new voice was better too

[buffypython]

"Lucy! I'm dead!"

"I want them eliminated!"

"Now they'll get immaculate reception."

"They live in a dollhouse."

"I haven't had it in years!"

My parents' names are Mary and Jeff... however, my dad cheated on my mom so I guess that angel didn't do his job!

[KaristaSwiss]

poor Clayton doesnt deserve it :(

[DoubleMiz]

The hell he doesn't!  ;-)

[Ututwhynot]

haha its true but pearl is awesome

[daffyphack]

"Scuze me while I light my spleef."

Gets me everytime.

[fritzthecat4455]

Does it seem like cambot says "kill yourself" to anybody else??

[Priest84]

It does sound a bit like "kill yourself", but I believe he's saying "show yourself".

[MagicalTrumpy]

common misheard bots phrases:

Cambot: Kill yourself!

Gypsy: Hey fruity!

Crow: Bat Gauno!

[23Jacked]

I thought this as well, but he might be saying show yourself...but knowing a character who never really gets any camera time I wouldn't blame him for saying that

[canudigit3000]

Thanks for posting!... 'Blood Beast' is one of the quintessential Roger Corman movies, featuring Ed Nelson, Bronson Canyon, and a big, goofy monster!

[MagicalTrumpy]

poor mike has a cold :-( ?

[aqua4678]

THANKS for posting these! I was hoping someone would put this up with the non-TD host segments. Awesome!

[GoblinXXX]

(Mary Jo accidentally split Trace's lip there at 4:40 when she whacked the trombone.)

So, the whole point of ONCE UPON A HONEYMOON is to tout COLORED phones? Was that really that big a deal?

[sleepyhollow783]

So that's why Trace left the show. Physical assault on the job:-(.

[NUTCASE71733]

No, that's not it. He explained that once all his original co-stars (Josh Weinstein, Joel Hodgeson, and Frank Coniff) all left the show, he felt way out of place. And after Increadible Melting Man, he felt as dead as the title character at the end of the film and he had to consider another line of work since he didn't feel up to riffing anymore. It wasn't a total loss since he began working on AFV with Josh soon after.

[sleepyhollow783]

It makes sense because there is a notable difference in how Trace portrays "Dr.F" after Frank. It is difficult to describe, but it is felt in the air. The loss of Frank was the K.O. It is amazing the show was able to pull together the way it did. It looked bad, really bad there for awhile. I was just trying to make light of, what is for me, one of the sad points in the show's history. Thanks for relating the background, as I'm sure we all wondered what Trace was going through at the time.:-)

[fmdfs667]

Mike and Kevin were both with the cast longer than Frank was. I've heard conflicts with Mallon cited for the reasons most of them left. Frank says he was just ready to move on but everyone else mentions Mallon!

[NUTCASE71733]

@fmdfs667

The official website has stated the debates with Jim Mallon never occured.

[fmdfs667]

Horse's mouth said it did. I was at a panel discussion on November where several Cinematic Titanic members talked of troubles with Jim. Frank repeated the statement in a podcast about two weeks ago.

[whoisdickieschnabel]

am i the only one that finds this upsetting? My parents were never divorced but this must be what it feels like :(

[pretorious700]

@GoblinXXX It was then. Those old 50 pound bakelite phones were always black.

[GoblinXXX]

@pretorious700 I guess you're right, I hadn't considered that-- But I never cared what color my phones were, either, so that may just be me. After all, people were putting "wallpapers" on the postage-stamp sized screens on their cell phones in the 90s, too. At least now they're big enough to see.
