"There's Absolutely Nothing To Be Worried About!"

Any "Mystery Science Theater 3000" offering is worth watching and re-watching, and although this is not my favorite set, it contains lots of great onscreen moments plus a few entertaining extras. This set exclusively contains creepy older black and white horror offerings, most from the early 1960's.

"Ring of Terror" is a short production about a group of geriatric medical school students and their girlfriends being haunted in what is perhaps the least scary manner ever filmed. Watch especially for the horrifying autopsy scene that is subsequently hilariously parodied. This episode is paired with another of the interminable episodes of "The Phantom Creeps" with Bela Lugosi.

"Indestructible Man" stars Lon Chaney as "The Butcher", a convicted killer whose execution is not entirely successful: it's a given that the plot revolves around him seeking vengeance on those who put him in jail. While not one of Chaney's better roles (by a long shot), this is probably the most genuinely creepy of these four films due in no small part to Chaney's crazed eyes. This episode is paired with an episode of "Undersea Kingdom", perhaps one of the most boring serials ever made.

"Tormented" describes the audience's reaction to this film of the same name. It's about a pianist who doesn't save his old flame from a fall off a lighthouse, and subsequently engages in face-saving cover up operations while planning his wedding, to no avail. This one is not only ludicrous, but exceptionally predictable as well. Truthfully, this is one of the more boring episodes, but does contain some hilarious banter.

"Horrors of Spider Island" is unquestionably my favorite episode in this set. Some dancers and their manager, Gary, are on a plane that crashes while en route to Singapore. They wash up on "Spider Island" and quickly deduce from finding a single hammer, that the island is being mined for uranium and that people couldn't be far off. In fact they find the previous occupant in a hilarious web made by some monstrous spider. This doesn't stop the girls from preening or fighting over men in the least, nor does it stop Gary from turning into a spider-human hybridoma, either. This film has long stretches of the girls searching for Gary (they don't know he's a spider) by walking through the jungle and yelling "Gary!" repeatedly.

This monstrosity was made in Germany and contains some extremely amusing dubbing. I also adored the utterly ludicrous dialogue throughout, my favorite example of which comes from Gary's business partner in New York. After we see the burning model plane on fire and tumbling vertically toward the water, the movie cuts to this guy in his office on the phone with (apparently) a concerned relative. He says "There's absolutely no reason yet to fear the worst. Until now we only know that the plane caught fire and that we've lost radio contact." In mocking response Mike comments "But there's absolutely nothing to be worried about!" Clearly not. This is a great episode from the very strong final season of MST3K, and I highly recommend it.

Another Great MST3K

I have them all and will continue to grow the collection as they are released. I wish they could come back to Sci-fi and do new shows with some of the awful films of today, it would be a hoot!

MST3K is love!

I've been a mystery science theater fan since I was a small child, and have loved both hosts Joel and Mike. I must say that these are all great episodes, three of them featuring the original host Joel Hodgson and one featuring the second host Mike Nelson. I strongly recommend this dvd set if you are a Joel fan. Mike fans also get a great episode, it is, however, just one episode. EVERY episode will having rolling on the floor with laughter, I guarantee it! The bonus feature "Video Jukebox" is also very entertaining. This feature allows you to watch various "music videos" from different seasons of MST3K, each one of them as funny as the next.

Slight technical glitch

A good collection of episodes- Tormented, especially, is one I was eager to see, but there was a fault in one track of the Horrors of Spider Island.

Volume 11: OK

I don't have a lot of Mystery Science theater experience, but I've seen the official movie, and volumes 12 and 4, and i have to say that these 4 cannot touch those. This volume features joel instead of mike, I guess because its episodes are chronologically earlier, but i just didn't find them as funny as the ones ive seen with mike.
