 Palm Springs, Calif. — Ken Miller, who appeared in the 1950s drive-in classics including “Attack of the Puppet People” died May 8 of pneumonia at a hospital here. He was 85.
MSTies will recall his performance as Vic the bongo player in the movie in episode 809- I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, in which he sang the catchy tune “Eeny Meeny Miney Mo.”  It appears that Volume XVII (17) has gone out-of-print. Shout Factory has listed it as such on their website product page and our source says there are movie rights issues.
Released: March 16, 2010, it contains episodes 101- The Crawling Eye, 415- The Beatniks (with “General Hospital, segment 2), 910- The Final Sacrifice and 1005- Blood Waters of Dr. Z.  By now we ought to have news of the next MST3k set from Shout Factory, but here’s something else awesome instead: Cinematic Titanic: The Complete Collection, due to be released Aug. 8. Order it here.
May 5th, 2017, marks our twentieth anniversary of bringing you Mystery Science Theater 3000 information. And with a new season of the show being carried on Netflix, we thought it was time to freshen things up around here a bit. This is the result.
This refreshed look is a work in progress and will evolve as time goes on. So take a look around, kick the tires, and let us know what you think. Hopefully, it retains the feel of the old layout while giving it a slightly more modern, sleeker appearance, just as the show has done on Netflix. Oh, and we mentioned a few weeks ago that we would soon be implementing a registration feature on the site. That feature will be activated this weekend, so consider yourself warned.  Actress Suzanna Leigh, star of “The Deadly Bees” seen on MST3K, is fighting for her life against cancer.
Thanks to Paul for the heads up. |
