What is Movie Sign?
Every Sunday night, we nestle down in Chat and watch an episode of the cult TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) while spamming up the Chat box. Don't worry - we use episodes available on streaming sites so that we can all watch simultaneously.
What's MST3K?
A comedy show that ran from 1988-1999, it's like watching a movie with running commentary. Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, along with 'bots Tom Servo and Crow, are forced to watch terrible films as part of a mad scientist's bid for world domination. To keep their (and our) sanity, they talk back to the movies and riff on them. A more detailed explanation can be found up at the SoL.
Next Episode
Voodoo, zombies, and Canada - that's what in store for us on Halloween when we settle down with Zombie Nightmare! A teenage boy is killed in a hit-and-run, but his mother, having lost her husband in the beginning of the film, turns to voodoo to seek revenge. The son-turned-zombie attacks those who were in the car with a baseball bat, but with Adam West (aka Batman) on the case...! No, there really is no way to end that.
Host Segment Highlights
Did you know voodoo is a safe, economical way to inflict evil on the world? Well, it is! There's evil of all sorts when Servo himself gets involved in a hit-and-run, and beware the evils that lurk in hot tubs! And did you know that Adam West is in this film? Crow sure did! But when you cancel plans, it's probably best to inform those involved that you did...
Whether a seasoned vet or new meat, we invite you all to come on down! Movie starts at 8pm EST/5pm PST, room opens at the :30 beforehand.
The password for the room is batman. And no need to fear, 'cause we've got the whole video!
