Release: December 1st
Episodes:
105 - The Corpses Vanishes (w/short "Commando Cody Part 3")
501 - Warrior of the Lost World
521 - Santa Claus
701 - Night of the Blood Beast (w/short "Once Upon A Honeymoon")
Cool Stuff:
- The limited edition set includes a Tom Servo figurine. I don't know how long they'll be selling this version, so I'd recommend pre-ordering it if you want the figure.
- Last year, we watched the Turkey Day version of Night of the Blood Beast in Movie Sign, which included different host segments pertaining to Thanksgiving. By popular demand, Shout! Factory is including both sets of host segments on the set, so depending on your mood, you could go the festive route or the normal road.
Extras:
- Interview with Warrior of the Lost World director David Worth
- "Santa Claus Conquers the Devil": A 50-Year Retrospective
- Santa Claus original radio spot
- Santa Claus still gallery
- Teaser for “Wonder World of K. Gordon Murray in Colorscope”
- Turkey Day ‘95 bumpers
- Original theatrical trailers
- 4 MST3K lobby cards
Verdict:
A very solid set, split half-and-half between Joel and Mike, though the season one episode might deter some folks. Still, it's worth having both Santa Claus and Night of the Blood Beast, plus the boatload of extras. Shout! Factory is doing a wonderful job on the boxset releases. And now with the Servo figurine, my Crow won't be so lonely.
