…Watney is at the very top of my list of Characters I Do Not Want Trapped In An Elevator With Me.
I immediately smelled a WDT, especially when “GizmonicTemp” added:
Nice! I think we should also include characters you WOULD want to be trapped in an elevator with (you know, since we’re talking about Talena this week and all).
For “wouldn’t want to be trapped” I would have to go with the fat mountain climber from “”The Crawling Eye.” Nuff said there.
For “would want to be trapped” I would pick Dr. Kolos from “The Human Duplicators” — he could probably beam us out of there.
What are your picks?
By the way, keep those thread suggestions coming!

I didn’t catch the “would” part. But really, who wants to be stuck on an elevator in the first place?
Would NOT want to be trapped with Rowsdower. He probably smells like cigs and whiskey. As for who I would want to be trapped with? Allison Hayes in that slinky dress from The Undead. Oh and Ann Margret from Kitten with a whip. Both at the same time actually, for obvious reasons!
Wouldn’t: Griffith from Red Zone Cuba. The guy’s a scumbag. He’d probably try shank me just so he could have all of the oxygen in the elevator for himself. (Yes, I know the elevator isn’t airtight, but he seems the type to kill over something so petty.)
Would: Mary Beth Hughes’ character from Last of the Wild Horses. Need I say more?
Wouldnt – I am going name 3 because there are just so many to choose from
1)Griffith for the same reason –
2)The Incredible Melting Man because he might eat me –
3)the Zombie from Zombie Nightmare
Would – for me it would be women
1) The island girl (Diayo) from Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster (she was Miss Namikama in Monster Zero, she was a hottie – Kumi Mizuno)
2)Juli Reding – Tormented
3)Yvette Vickers – Attack of the Giant Leeches –
4) HONORABLE MENTION – Forrest J Ackerman – Laserblast – so we could talk movies all night long :)
Would: pseudo-hippie from San Francisco International. He could help pass the time by playing some far out tunes. Plus, there is a chance he may happen to have some other forms of entertainment on his person.
Wouldn’t: Deathstalker. His smugness and pomposity would wear thin rather rapidly.
Wouldn’t want: Mrs. March from “The Atomic Brain,” with Dropo a close second.
Would want: Donald Pleasance. I’d finally have the chance to ask him what was the deal with that outfit he wore in “Sgt. Pepper.”
Who would i want to be locked in one with? uhhh none. :P well… except the team them self.
WOULDN’T – Mooney from The Beatniks. 2 minutes alone with him, and I’d have to Moon him.
WOULD – Marianne from Devil Doll, Iole from Hercules, Mamie Van Doren . . need I say more?
Would: Creepy Girl! Nuff Said.
Wouldn’t: The North Wind from The Day the Earth Froze. I think the giant bag would smell even worse in a confined space.
Wouldn’t: Malla from Leech Woman. Sooner or later she’s gonna go for my pineal gland and I won’t have a lot of room to run.
Would: Buzz from Girl In Gold Boots. He could teleport us out!
Stuck in an elevator–Couldn’t take: Nuveena from Design for Dreaming short, jumping around in a new outfit every 30 seconds, plus the unfettered avarice.
wouldn’t mind: wife from Once Upon a Honeymoon short. she’d be imagining a new decor for the elevator, complete with the emergency phone in range of colors and convenient handset options. Plus, she’d be sweet and helpful, probably whipping up a tray of snacks while humming a nice tune.
Would:
Any of the Angels (Angels’ Revenge)
Talena (Outlaw)
Wanda (Alien from LA. Who cares about her voice? She’s Kathy F’n Ireland.)
Hercules (He could climb up on top and pull the elevator up.)
Thena (Quest of the Delta Knights)
Would Not:
Torgo or The Master (Manos)
Glenn Manning, Godzilla or Gamera (That wouldnt be one crowded elevator)
Valeria (Robot Holocaust)
Eegah
Mr B Natural
Wouldn’t want to be trapped with Mikey from Teenage Strangler. His sobbing would get on my nerves.
Would want to be trapped with The scientist guys from Godzilla vs. Megalon as they could probably get us out.
Was thinking about Adam Chance. He might be able to get you out, but the attitude you’d have to endure would make it unbearable.
Would: Given her expertise as a highly skilled programmer at Novicorp and presumably knowledge of technology to get the elevator moving: Wanda Cannon. Although
that’s a porno name if I’ve ever heard one… not that I’ve ever heard one.
I don’t subscribe to lots of publications or anything. But she did put up with
months of sack time with A. Fingal so probably is quite sociable if it takes, like, you
know, some time to get the elevator moving…
Would not: The talking motorcycle in Warrior of the Lost World. Useless, takes up space,
will drive you bonkers repeating pointless observations. On the bright side, Megaweapon
might be waiting at the ground floor for payback when the Paper Chase Guy comes to drive off
with his bff.
dsman71-good call on Forry Ackerman, I gotta second that. And someone mentioned Ed Wood-I know Glen Or Glenda’s supposed to be the only one of his films that he was in, but I’ll be damned if the guy with the thin mustache who gets into the big brawl at the burger shack in The Sinister Urge doesn’t look like him. Finally, a chance to ask.
Also, on the “would” pile, the officers from Radar Secret Service, ’cause RADAR can do anything, including making stuck elevators go.
About Ed Wood in The Sinister Urge: (I think in Wikia)
==================================================
Ed Wood and Conrad Brooks are the brawling “teenagers” fighting over porn in front of the restaurant. The footage used is from an unfinished Wood film Rock and Roll Hell.
This film actually made money upon its release. Unfortunately, Ed had sold the rights to the film for about $500 and missed out on receiving any residuals.
==================================================
And I believe Conrad Brooks mentions the scene in his interview in an MST3000 extra collection.
Would: Hank, from The Black Scorpion. Since he was there someone would lower a cage for us to get in and escape. Although the cage would look like a toy at certain angles.
Would Not: Juanito from The Black Scorpion. He’s a kiss up!
BTW, Since most people want to be trapped in an elevater with an attractive character from an episode this thread reminds me of another idea for a question: What MST characters do you have a crush on?
WOULD NOT: The old woman from “THE ATOMIC BRAIN.” She’d have me trying on clothes she plans to wear later instead of trying to escape!
Rowsdowser! The boozy, unshowered smell would kill us both.
The bearded louse infested robbers from “JACK FROST.” I’d be showering the rest of my life upon escape.
Anyone from “FUGITIVE ALIEN.” Why? Because here I am trying to escape an elevator while they try to kill me with a forklift!
———————————————————————————
WOULD: Mushroom Guy from “JACK FROST.” He could make us disappear our way out of there.
Hercules from “HERCULES AGAINST THE MOONMEN.” He could pry open those doors, while at the same time escaping the wall of spikes!
Nastinka from “JACK FROST.” She can make the sun go backwards to a time before we got in the elevator and avoid the whole situation in the first place!
WOULD: Valeria from Robot Holocaust. Hey, I kinda like that “accent”.
WOULDN’T: Phantom of Krankor. Because he’s ugly, and has an annoying laugh. Oh, and he might try to kill me.
ck-neat, thanks! I never have seen that Conrad Brooks interview, nor have any of the Ed documentaries I’ve seen mentioned it, so I’ve always wondered.
WOULD NOT: Sid Melton
WOULD: Adrianna Miles (in her pool playin’ shirt.)
It would go like this—
WRRRRRRRRRR-DING-WRRRRRR-DING-WRRRRR-DING CLUNK-CLUNK-DING! ( For you kids playing at home that’s the sound of the elevator breaking down. )
Oh man, this is my biggest fear. Stuck on an elevator with no power, no lights, and some guy that stinks of stale beer. Well I might as well speak to him, maybe that will put my mind at ease. Whats your name buddy? I’m Ross. Mitchell, oh your a cop huh? Looks like we’ll be stuck here for a while, I noticed you had a bag with you when you got on, whats in it? Warm beer and a flash light. Great well at least we’ll have some light in here while we wait. As he flicks the flashlight on I notice he’s a big bloated looking guy, and I see has a few other items in the bag. He says well I got a Playboy “WE” can look at to pass the time, that’s Linda Evans on the cover, I had a thing with her, she was hot, but she also liked smoking pot. Then I look down into the bag and see a few crushed empty beer cans and a few full ones and then—- I SEE A BOTTLE Of BABY OIL!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Would – Tundra from Samson vs the Vampire Women. Even if she bites me.
Wouldn’t – Torgo. He looks like he smells bad.
Wouldn’t want: The LOAD from Mole people of course.
Would: Ernest Borgnine.
Kenny from Gamera movies… I’d hate to be a child killer…
Would: Santa Claus, from either movie. Not only do they have extensive experience manuveuring through tight spaces, but they can call on their magic friends to help if it’s too much for them alone. On top of that… SANTA CLAUS!!! :)
Would Not: Mister B Natural, for obvious reasons, but also Buzz Turner. He’d spend all his time practicing his trumpet and whining about how he wants to be “like Fred is.” Dropo, because I’d end up strangling him with my bare hands and that green stuff would get all over me and it’s probably impossible to get out. The little kid from GODZILLA VS MEGALON because his voice would drive me up the wall and I don’t care to imagine the gossip which would ensue when I’m eventually found locked in an elevator with a little Japanese boy in Daisy Dukes. Crenshaw, because after an hour or so he’d probably kill me for food. Nastinka, with or without her family: Nastinka’s kind of a jinx and if she started singing I’d end up smashing my head against the wall; her sister would blame the whole disaster on me and repeatedly shove me while demanding I do something; her mother would back her up, then try to talk me into marrying her; and her father would just sit there and fret ineffectually. But worst of all would be Peter Graves, who would explain ad nauseam about how man is a thinking creature…
Let me join the others in:
WOULD: The redhead from Werewelf. I don’t care if she talks funny.
Would Not: The 2 annoying kids from the Century 21 short. After they got done waving incessantly at me I would be attacked to get to my cell phone where they would marvel at the wondrous touch-tone technology!
Runner up: Mr. Kester from Giant Spider Invasion dressed only in his long-johns, complete with back brace. (I would need to be “hittin’ the BOOZE” after that encounter)
2nd Runner up: The Great Vorelli with a tray full of ham.
Would: The pleasant Abby from Riding With Death. She’s some gal!
Wouldn’t: Mooney from the Beatniks, because he’s one of the most loathsome, creepy, irritating characters in the entire MST cannon. Plus, he shot that Fat Barkeep.
Would: Michelle from Girl In Gold Boots, because, Yeah, she’s got her gold boots on. Or she could take them off, doesn’t matter to me.
1. How about the Phoenix from Magic Voyage of Sinbad. Even though she looks like Uma Thurman, sh’e dput you to sleep
2. Those brats from Prince of Space and Invasion of the Neptune Men and all Gamera movies
3. Vi’s head
4. Lena from Parts The Clonus Horror
5. Ivan the dopey “hero” from Jack Frost
Wouldn’t – Crenshaw (shivers)
Would – Creepy Girl
Would not: June the Leech Woman. Once her old age kicks in she’d try to kill me with her hook ring!
Would: Linda from “Women of the Prehistoric Planet”. :devil:
Valeria, and I would dare to mock her! She may have the room of questions, but I have the room of annoying answers!
There are many i dont want to be stuck on an elevator with, except for Fats from wild rebels, the most he can do is imitate a train.
Would: Hugo, from Devil Doll. No particular reason, he just seems like a nice guy to shoot the breeze with.
Wouldn’t: Either of the “happy couple” from Screaming Skull. Jenni’s constantly pinched facial expressions and various neuroses would drive me insane, and Eric would probably try to bludgeon me with a scapula or something. Mickey’d be cool, though.
Who would I want to be trapped with? Any character portrayed by Alison Hayes.
Who would I NOT want to be trapped with? Three words: OLD MAN CRENSHAW!!!!!!
On the never want to be stuck in an elevator:
Crenshaw. Krankor, Mitchell
Want to be in the elevator with:
Leslie (Lucy Braless) from Boggy Creek, Beverly Garland, and Jessica (The Thing That Couldn’t Die)
Change of theme: escilators. Or more importantly who I would/wouldn’t want to be stuck behind while on one…
Wouldn’t: Torgo, as even though the conveyance would give him a much needed speed boost, it would still feel like an eternity.
Would: any of the hot ladies from any MSTied movie. For the opportunity to say “who could shoot a butt like that?”
Pedanticness Alert: The riff (which was used in the Commando Cody serial during the first season) actually goes, “Oh, I’d hate to shoot a butt like that.”
Would: Stepping from behind the lens, I’d like to spend the time with Servo and Crow. Maybe I could get Servo to sing with the United Servo Mens’ Academy Choir, led by Choir Director Vice-Brigadier Sir Thomas “Bullhead” Servo. And perhaps Crow could give his report on Rutherford B Hayes.
Wouldn’t: Pearl Forrester. Pearl, Pearl, Pearl, Pearl, Pearl, Pearl. Except if she sang “When loving lovers love”.
Would:
the delinquent teen girls from ‘Village of the Giants.
Princess Helene from ‘The Magic Sword.’
The chubby dancing girl from ‘Mighty Jack.’
Nastenka from “Jack Frost.”
and Tia Carrere from ‘Zombie Nightmare.’
Would not:
Warrior of the Lost World – he’d never stop complaining.
Wanda from ‘Alien from LA’ – cute yes. Annoying, double-yes.
The hypnotist from ‘Invasion USA.’ I don’t need a pompous guy with an accent installing fear of a Communist uprising.
Any character played by Jo Don Baker.
Mooney in ‘Bearniks’
The Great Vorelli in ‘Devil Doll.’
Yuri in ‘Werewolf.’ I don’t need to be locked in an elevator with a psychopath.
The sheriff from Giant Spider Invasion. The jokes… the lame, LAME jokes…
Wouldn’t: Krankor. I’d have to avert my eyes every time he “shifted”. (shudder)
Would: Jack Palance.
Would:
-Paula, the leader of the girl-gang in ‘The Violent Years’ (obvious reasons)
-Cleolanta from ‘Crash of the Moons’ (obvious reasons)
-Valeria from ‘Robot Holocaust’: Instead of hearing her thick accent, I’d just listen to her in German instead.
Would not:
-the smug fraternity member who wouldn’t shut up in ‘Ring of Terror’
-the “I’m comiiiiinnnggg!!!” guy from ‘Quest of the Delta Knights’
-the fat grandpa in ‘The Creeping Terror’
Would: swarthy sexy Toblerone. “Ha ha ha! I never hear of a lady in a box!”
Would not: another one for The Load. “Did I mention we are trapped here?”
