Alert reader Jay suggests:
Was there something in your past that primed you to become an MST3K fan? For me it was a local Friday late night show called “Project Terror” — “Where the scientific and the terrifying emerge.” The shows which years later were fodder for Mystery Science Theater were new to me in our dark, late-night living room with the sound on our Zenith TV turned down low so Mom could sleep. How about you, or are you just a natural born MSTie?
In Philadelpbia is was Doctor Shock’s “Fright Flicks,” But even more it was my brother Curt’s fascination with monster movie of all kinds. It was one of the few things we both liked.
What about yoou?
