“Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie” will be screened this Sunday, Sept. 14, at 6:18 a.m. as part of the It Came From Schenectady 24 hour sci-fi film festival at Proctors in Schenectady, NY.
Several people have asked us about the upcoming Abbott and Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection DVD set, which lists among its commentary contributors “Film Historian Frank Coniff” (sic). The spelling is wrong, but that is indeed Frank Conniff who recorded a commentary track for the Abbott and Costello movie Who Done It?
[…] “Max the Hero” was screened at Dragon*Con in Atlanta over the past Labor Day weekend and won the festival award for “Best Animated Comedy.” The award was presented to producer Mike Salva by Chucky himself, actor Brad Dourif.
Congratulations, Mike, Mike Kevin and Bill! Want to see why it won? Check it out. At the MST3K/Cinematic Titanic panel at DragonCon it appears they showed a portion of the “Green Slime” pilot/pitch tape during the panel. They also showed the Comedy Channel pitch tape, which was included on the “MST3K Scrapbook” tape that was sold by Best Brains.
