I am squarely in the Mike camp. 

One of my favorite ones, I can't even remember the name.  It's from the early 80's, in space.  The captain looks like Santa Claus, and his daughter looks like a middle-aged aerobics instructor. 

Space Mutiny, filmed in an old factory in South Africa. That's the movie where the "flight officer" was back at work after being killed.

Oh, there's so many awful ones it's hard to pick a fave.  The spider one with The Skipper was a good one.  Is that the one with the trashy dame who's got the shakes? 

The Giant Spider Invasion. The woman was Barbara Hale, Perry Mason's secretary, but not married to Alan Hale Jr.- the Skipper. The "giant spider" was so funny- it looked like a VW Beetle with legs!

Sounds like part of the plot from "The Man With Two Brains".

Close! It was The Thing With Two Heads, with Rosie Greer.

Rosie Greer used to co star with Fess Parker. Trivia question, what was one of Rosie Greer's favorite past times ?
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I remember when the Giant Spider Invasion came out. I wanted to see it so bad!

I even had this dream about these spiders falling from the sky and my sister in the dream made spider coat by placing them in those moth ball things that hung in closets.

No. I remember seeing him on TV talking about it. How it was relaxing. It is one of those facts that has never gone out of my head.

The movie was 'Manos: The Hands of Fate.' Widely considered the single worst motion picture ever made, so it made fo a memorable episode of MST3K, and they'll actually be revisiting it in just a couple months for the live movie theater event 'Manos: The Hands of Fate.' The character with the weid thighs was named Torgo (btw, the actor who played him committed suicide shortly after filming wrapped).

Hopefully he wasn't a conservative.

From the look of him, I'm guessing Paulite.

Oops, typo in my last post.
I meant to say that the MST3K crew will be revisiting that abomination of a movie in a couple months in the one- night live theater event "Rifftrax Live: Manos: The Hands of Fate."

I didn't know Torgo offed himself!  That's too bad.  He always made me laugh at the very end, when Manos sets Torgo's hand on fire, and he gets up and skips merrily off set.  Gotta go! 

That always made me laugh every time in Space Mutiny, seeing the dead guy back at the controls.  Oh, and remember the gocart races?  I would be laughing constantly through the whole thing, no matter how many times I'd seen it.





Eagah:  Remember the shaving cream scene, when he tries to lap it up with his big gooey tongue?  Ewwww.  That was gross with the dad and daughter relationship, just a little too cozy.  It was rumored that the actors were having an affair.

Even worse that Arch Hall, Jr. his real-life son, played her boyfriend. She cozied up to her "dad", sat on his lap, and shaved him- and kissed Arch Jr. like she was his sister.
