1101: Attack of the Puppet People (1958 B&W)
A gentle Bert I Gordon tale about a lonely man who shrinks people so they'll be his friends. MSTies will recognize a LOT of familiar faces, such as John Agar & June Kenney. Classic scene: Agar goes nuts and beats up a marionette.

1102: Night Monster vs the Navy (1966 Color)
Acid spewing tree monsters come alive! Why chose this flick? We gotta have a Mamie Van Doren movie, period!

1103: Fiend without a Face (1958 B&W)
Crawling, leaping brains that spurt (Smuckers?) jelly when you shoot 'em. It's a B movie classic, one of my favorites. But there are MSTable moments (The appearance of the man who's out of his mind cracked me up).

1104: Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957 B&W)
With short: "Manners in School"
The short: A "Chalk drawing" teaches a bad kid some manners. So sweet, I can envision a host segment visit from "Chalky"!
The main event is a Corman movie. The Corman movie to beat all Corman movies. Out of all of Roger's flicks this would have fit best with MST, and it's a shame that it was never featured. It stars the professor from Gilligans Island. He and his co-horts land on a deserted isle inhabited by... get this, giant talking crabs! It's a hoot, I mean absolute B movie brilliance and the SOL would have torn this to shreds.

1105: Sssssss (1973 Color)
With short: "The Gossip"
From the director of, "Attack of the Giant Leeches"... comes this story about a man who is turned into a snake. I saw this when it first aired on TV and it freaked me out. It's shorter than the usual TV movie, with some dull spots the BBI might edit out. So we need...
A short! Evil Frieda tells lies that spread like wildfire and destroys the political aspirations of Jean (who so wanted to be Pep Club president).

1106: The Giant Claw (1957 B&W)
Hoo boy what a stink burger! "Claw" features this giant flying turkey creature that has got to be seen to be believed (and you can see it for yourself at the top of this page!) This alone is worth belly laughs by the barrel. From the director of "Teenage Crime Wave", it stars Jeff Morrow of "This Island Earth" fame.

1107: Sorority Girl (1957 B&W)
With short: "Care of the Hair and Nails"
Another Corman crapper, but outside the sci-fi realm. Stars the gals from "Blood Lust" and Susan Cabot as a poor little rich sociopath and the bad things that happen at her school.
The short has this strangely dressed granny who tells all kinds of hygienic horror stories. Features a bald kid with pinworms, Beautifull!

1108: Hawk the Slayer (1986 Color)
The movie is one of those sword and sorcery things and it has an elf called "Crow" in it. With a -Ren Fest- look to it, ala "Delta Knights", it also has Jack Palance in it, ala "Outlaw". So it all ties together, the comedy Gods want this MSTed.

1109: The Highwayman (1987 Color)
The pilot of the short lived TV show which featured Sam Jones and Australian rules football star, Jacko (Source of the "Oi!" riffs in "Space Mutiny") as Government agents who travel across the country in a supertruck that's armed to the teeth. I remember looking forward to this when it first aired... and being greatly unimpressed. Jacko was a laughably bad actor.

1110: Future Force (1990 Color)
He's the last honest cop. He's David Carradine, and he punches people in the groinicological area with his mechanical glove. I wanna hear some riffs for those scenes alone!

1111: Cat-Women of the Moon (1953 B&W)
With short: "Kitty Cleans Up"
A cat double feature. Classic bad movie and the short about a poor humiliated kitty. Cat-Women is plumb MST fodder. It's too bad they didn't do this movie because it would have been fun, what with the giant spider (with visible strings) and the goofy Cat dance.

1112: The Norseman (1978 Color)
A Charles B. Pierce (Boggy Creek II) film starring Lee Majors as Thorvald; a Norseman (or as Lee says it -Norzzeman- who sails to America to rescue his father from a band of Indians. Majors struggles with his heavy, self important dialog and attempts to maintain his dignity while wearing the "Sacred Mask" - or as I call it, the Snail helmet afixed with eagle hood ornament. It also has Jimmy Clem, who played Mr. Crenshaw in "Boggy", as a Viking Berserker, Chuck Pierce Jr. as young Eric (who speaks with a hilarious thick Southern drawl), NFL heroes Deacon Jones and Fred Biletnikoff and a host of movie stars past their prime (Jack Elam, Cornel Wilde and Audrey Hepburn's ex, Mel Ferrer). When Majors and Wilde spoke of the "Battle of Rodan", I knew all the elements where in place for riff gold.

1113: Wasp Woman (1960 B&W)
With short: "The Cautious Twins"
Stars Viking Woman, Susan Cabot as the head of a cosmetics company who uses wasp juice (or some such thing) to stay young. The side effect though, is that she turns into a killer wasp woman! Just plain silly and bad; Director Roger Corman pads out the first 10 minutes with painfully dull scenes of guys working with bees! The short's a cartoon about clean cut kids who are hassled by weirdos.

1114: Killdozer (1974 Color)
We gotta have this one. A frequent riff-source - It's a made for TV movie about a glowing blue alien lifeforce that posseses a bulldozer and begins killng construction workers. This strangely sneaky machine lists Robert Urich and Neville Brand among its victims.

1115: The Astounding She Monster. (1957 B&W)
With shorts: "Shy Guy" & "The Outsider"
Directed by a guy who sought advice from Ed Wood! Really cheap, dull movie about a tall, busty alien gal with eyebrows that curve like the St. Louis arch. This was no fun at all to watch. But hey, the gang made "Yucca Flats" great. They could do the same with this mess.
The shorts are two sides of the same coin, one about a dude (Darrin from "Bewitched") the other the female version. Both are losers who hunger to join the in-crowd.

1116: Charro (1969 Color)
The Elvis western BBI almost riffed on! Both Mary Jo and Kevin Murphy have lamented the loss of this movie in interviews.

1117: Giant from the Unknown (1958 B&W)
This Richard Cuhna movie -about a huge "Brutal, degenerate and deranged" Conquistador named Vargas, who is re-animated in our era- Is full of potential. For example: A group is brought in to hunt Vargas down, and after a tough battle, the hunters take a break and leave a lone guard behind to keep watch. While at base camp they hear shots fired from a distance... and none of them can figure out who fired the gun! "All our men are here", they reason. Uhh, Duh - what about the guy you LEFT BEHIND?!!
Other highlights: #1) "Devil's Crack". Er, actually it's "Devil's Crag". But the first time we hear the name, it does sound like the actor's saying "Crack" (and Lord knows how the SOL crew would have fun with that) #2) The classic line, "Where's Charlie Brown?" Nuff said. And finally, #3) The riotous scene when the rampaging giant picks up a guy and tosses him, and you can clearly see the wires!

1118: Mars Needs Women (1967 Color)
A Tommy Kirk movie that Joel called (in a 1989 interview) the ultimate MST3K film. All those years and he never got to do it. It's from the director of "Attack of the the Eye Creatures" and inept doesn't begin to describe his work on this very boring flick.

1119: Baffled (1973 Color)
A Leonard Nimoy TV pilot that Mike Nelson wanted to riff on. It's about a race car driver who has visions of murder that he believes will come to pass. This one has its fans who'll grouse on the IMDB. But the Brains have done other "decent flicks" (Painted Hills, Girl in Lovers' Lane) and made them classics. So people will whine, but us MSTies will get the last laugh. Literally!

1120: Bride of the Gorilla (1958 B&W)
With Short: "Beginning To Date"
Raymond Burr stars as Barney Chavez, a plantation manager who commits murder for the love of a woman. A witch who witnessed the crime puts a hex on him, which has Barney believing that he's become a big hairy ape! There's lots of riff material here. My favorite scene is when the gal is looking for Burr. She shouts, "Where are you", and he replies... "In here". The scene then cuts to a shot of a leopard. Beautiful timing for a riff don't cha think? And the whole silly movie is like this. Also stars a miscast Lon Chaney Jr. as a local cop.
The short is about a short teenager who dates an amazon and has words that magically appear above his head.

1121: Through Fire, Water and Brass Pipes (1968 Color)
I have to have a weird Russian folk tale for season 11. This comes from the director of "Jack Frost" and stars the gal who played Nastenka. It tells of a young man who goes through many trials to rescue his beloved (and her pet goat)

1122: The X From Outer Space (1967 Color)
I can just hear the gang calling the giant chicken beaked monster "Oo-La-La" (The creatures name is "Guilala"). I've never seen this Japanese creature feature, but from the various reviews I've read, it sounds hysterical. Lets get this out on DVD and into the Netflix inventory soon!

1123: The House On Haunted Hill (1959 B&W)
With Short: "Are Manners Important?"
I wanted to get a William Castle film in here. "Mr. Sardonicus" was too wordy, the "Tingler" and "13 Ghosts" were solid, but I felt Haunted Hill offered up the best riff possibilities. The frights are broad and silly (an old woman makes a scary face, that's not very scary at all). I think the SOL crew would have a lot of fun with this haunted tale. Plus it would be their first with the great Vincent Price!
The short: President Mickey abolishes manners and pays dearly!
