Season 7 [1995-96]
Comedy Central
< Season 6   ||  MST3K Index   ||  Season 8 >
Comedy Central decided to drop MST3K after the season began so this season only has 6 aired episodes. However, this page contains 2 extra entries: [0707] Assignment: Venezuela (a short that was never aired or attached to any other episode) and [0708] - This Island Earth or more commonly known as Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (which was released by Universal Studios to theaters as a feature film).
0701 - Night of the Blood Beast [1958]

        

An astronaut returns from space dead. The base that recovered him is then cut off from the outside world by an alien. What is happening and what will this mean for the rest of humanity? Perhaps another trip to the Bronson Caves.

This episode features the first regular appearance of Pearl Forester, Dr. Forester's mom.

This episode also contains the short Once Upon a Honeymoon [1956]
0702 - The Brute Man [1946]

           

A facially deformed and mentally unhinged man carries out his revenge on those who deformed him with a series of brutal murders.

This episode also contains the short Chicken of Tomorrow [1948]. This will be the last short film to appear along with a main feature until episode 0906, two years later.
0703 - Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell [1988]

              

The third thrilling saga of Deathstalker pits him against the evil wizard and ruler of the Southland, Troxartes, and his band of undead warriors. Dashing Deathstalker is entrusted by the beautiful Princess Carissa to protect an enchanted Jewel, one of three, which together hold the key to the lost city of treasure, Erendor.

Lord of the Rings fans will appreciating the riffing in this one as several references are made.
0704 - The Incredible Melting Man [1977]

   

An astronaut returns from an ill-fated space voyage, transformed into a gooey, drippy, runny, kind of a... murderous gelatinous mass. (For those that caught that reference, I salute you).

The host segments center around what a horrible experience it was to work with a studio to produce the Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. Make-up artist virtuoso, Rick Baker, did the primary make-up effects for our drippy lead and Rob Bottin, who worked as an asst., went on to do the make-up spec fx on The Thing.
0705 - Escape 2000 [1983]
aka Escape from the Bronx
              

A vicious corporation tries to kill and starve the last remaining inhabitants of the Bronx in order to build their own high-rise developments. A lone long-haired, hot-tempered warrior, Trash, is their only obstacle.

The body count in the uncut version of the film is recorded as 174! Happy carnage!!
0706 - Laserblast [1978]

        

Alien creatures kill a mutated alien creature in the California desert. Its remains, and the high-tech laser gun and power source accidentally left behind, are found by an ostracized teenager with murderous results.

This episode marks Trace Beaulieu's (Dr. Forrester, Crow) final regular appearance as well as the last episode of the Comedy Central era.
0707 - Assignment: Venezuela [1956]

   


An American goes to work in the booming oil industry of Venuzuela.

This 24 minute stand-alone short was never aired as part of a normal broadcast.
0708 - This Island Earth [1955]
aka Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie
  

Aliens come to Earth seeking scientists to help them in their war.

This was not originally broadcast on television but rather released by Universal Studios to theaters. Making a movie for a studio was reported as the worst experience the MST3K crew had throughout the life of the show. In fact, differences between Joel Hodgson and Jim Mallon caused Joel to depart from the series, not to return until the Netflix period.
