Mystery Science Theater 3000:Vol. XXXV
Four DVD Box Set Features Previously Unreleased Episodes
Teenage Cave Man, Being From Another Planet, 12 To The Moon, and Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
As the excitement justifiably mounts for the upcoming new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, let us not forget the classic MST3K that kept us warm and fed for many years, making us feel safe in its soft blanket of loving mockery. We were raised by ten seasons of cable comedy genius, and there’s still plenty more classics to enjoy! Case in point: Teenage Cave Man, Being From Another Planet, 12 To The Moon and Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell, the four never-before-released episodes in Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XXXV. On March 29th, 2016, join Joel, Mike and their robot compadres Tom Servo and Crow as they serve up old-school comfort food in this delirious celebration of cinema’s cracks and seams. The box set also contains the brand-new bonus features I Was a Teenage Cave Man featurette, the new interview Richard Band Remembers, the original version of Time Walker, the featurette You Are There: Launching “12 To The Moon,” Medieval Boogaloo: The Legend of “Deathstalker III,” and four exclusive mini-posters by artist Steve Vance. Fans can pre-order their copies now by visiting ShoutFactory.com
In Teenage Cave Man, the Man from U.N.C.L.E. plays the Teenager from S.T.O.N.E. A.G.E in this Roger Corman parable of a prehistoric — or at least prehistoric thinking — society and the young man who rebels against the establishment. The episode also includes the short films Aquatic Wizards and Catching Trouble. Being From Another Planet (aka Time Walker) brings us the story of an alien running murderously amok on a college campus after being released from King Tut’s tomb; 12 To The Moon not only includes a feature about an international collection of astronauts reaches the moon, only to discover a race of underground dwellers who seek peace by threatening violence, but also the short film Design For Dreaming; and Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell, the third installment of Roger Corman’s Lord of the Rings-ish fantasy about a warrior, an evil wizard and the jewel that seems to make a difference.

Woohoo!!! Some great episodes in this set, especially Deathstalker.
I’m glad for Time Walker. That’s the one thing that Rhino did (on Vol. 1 and a handful of single titles) that I wish had been continued: the original movies as bonus features (or on the flip side of the disc). Call me a glutton for punishment, I guess.
Really looking forward to this set, and it’s loaded with supplementary material!
Plus, Teenage Cave Man, and Twelve To The Moon, are two episodes I haven’t watched for quite some time.
Incidentally, my daughter and I watched Motel Hell the other night, and I noticed that Nina Axelrod was in it (she plays Susie Fuller in Being From…. aka Time Walker)
Nice set of titles on this set. The one with Catching Ross, alien hijinx spectacle, weird people from car show PSAs on the SOL, and the one where Pearl spends the episode on a hospital bed. Good stuff, good stuff.
Wonder if they’ll do another set with a robot figure. Would be amazing if they did Cambot.
My Years-old Spreadsheet tells me that this now means that all of season 5 has been released on DVD either on Shout or Rhino.
I love the writeup. “The jewel that seems to make a difference.”
Now I’m curious to see what other copysnark I’ve missed.
Sampo> Were you going to provide an Amazon pre-order link? I always like to support Satellite News in the process.
Preordered mine from Shout so I could get it a few weeks early.
Wonder if the deal with Corman means they’ll be able to use a widescreen print of Time Walker.
I’ll be adding pre-order links to all the usual places a little later this evening. Thanks for supporting us!
Perfect plant, Jonny Appleseid!
Yes. Maybe all versions of Cambot spread across multiple volumes.
Are there two, three, or more versions of Cambot?
I want to say I’ve seen three. I’m sure someone here knows.
The only MST3K figure I own is Gypsy. If I ever get that coveted IT job, she’s going on my desk.
And don’t think I won’t puppeteer her to my co-workers, because I will.
Five, I think: KTMA, Season 1, the rest of the Joel shows, the rest of the Mike Comedy Central shows, and the Sci-Fi shows. Although it’s hard to tell if the Sci-Fi Cambot is different than the Mike Comedy Central Cambot other than color.
BTW, the retitle on “Time Walker/Being From Another Planet”, completely gives away the movie’s “big” plot twist. It’s like retitling “Citizen Kane” as “Dying Rich Guy’s Childhood Sled”. Or changing “The Sixth Sense” to “The Psychologist Who Finds Out He’s A Ghost”.
Not that this piece of dreck is in the same class as those great movies, but still.
Cool. Thank you.
I don’t think there was a change in the color of the actual bot but rather just how he was lit.
What a great set! I especially want to see 12 to the Moon again in DVD form, what a goofy movie. Also, Being from Another Planet is a VHS favorite of mine, so glad I can see it in better quality. LOVE all Season 7 eps, I thought the show was in a groove that year, so Deathstalker is eagerly awaited. And a Corman ‘classic’ to boot, Teenage Caveman. This may be my favorite set ever released.
I, too, love when original movies are included. Wish they could get the original Deathstalker III.
Were MST hour wraps ever made for any of these shows?
I guess I’m missing something here. I’m not sure what all the “usual places” are. I look at the Amazon widget on the side of the page and the newest collection there is Volume XXX. I guess I’m not sure the first place I should go for an Amazon link is. Help!
Thanks for the spoiler warning! I guess I don’t need to see ‘The Sixth Sense’ anymore. ;-)
Nope! Here’s a list of all of them: http://mst3k.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mystery_Science_Theater_Hour#Episodes
I’d prefer that they just include the scenes that MST3K removed (except the Sidehackers one, of course).
Thanks! I hope Shout! Factory gathers up all of the MST Hour wraps, along with the extra in-theater footage that aired on the MST Hour in some cases, and puts it on one of the final MST3K volumes. I think there would even be enough material there for it’s own disk, which they could use to fill out a 4-disk set if they start to have clearance problems in the home stretch.
Boom! This (finally!) unseats Volume 7 as my favorite (per episode selection). Keep it up, Shout!
I concur! My copy of Deathstalker is of poor quality. And I love that episode. CLAYDIN….CLAYDIN….CLAYDIN!
Sort of shocked to admit it, but there are two episodes on this set that I can’t ever recall seeing: Teenage Caveman and Being from Another Planet. I didn’t discover the show until probably the middle of’92 and, maybe I’m crazy, but I do not recall those episodes being in heavy re-run rotation.
I’ve been holding off seeing them by other means since this realization
I love these episodes and the extras are great. I also enjoy it when the uncut movie is included, and I hope we see more of that. My favorite episode on this set is Deathstalker, Mike and the bots are on fire in the theater and the renniasance faire sketches are a hoot to me, and I love where crow reads Pearl the Harlequin Romance-style book.
To any Shout people who may be reading, this was mentioned in another episode discussion, how about considering a mini documentary on all the weird goings on of Film Ventures International in a future boxset? :) The strange, ambient and eery openings which double as cheap cross advertising for their other movies, the guy who looted the company and went on the lam never to be seen or heard from again, seriously, FVI is just ripe for a documentary and it would be a shame if we never got one.
Anyways, great set, Being From Another Planet is an underrated gem and one of my favorites. Nothing better than an 80s flick with that cool, mellow turkey Ben Murphy, Shari Belafonte trying to be hip and failing, the college campus setting, AND a bonus Metroid reference for us Nintendo fans.
Captain Cab… HOLD ON TIGHT! Ballyhoo is wwwwaaaaayyyyyy ahead of you! :)
I like this very much!
