List: Skeleton and Skull Appearances in MST3K

Compiled by Michael Slusher

Being an avid bone and skull collector (by profession and as a hobby), I am as thrilled to see them appear on an episode as Crow is when he sees a kitty or when Tom sees any potential for nightgown wrestling.

This list is incomplete because it only reflects those occurances of skulls and bones I have come across recently in my sporadic episode viewing. If you can think of any other instances where they appear (and approximate times if possible), let me know at cheepnis at cheepnis dotcom or visit my site http://www.mst3k.org. Enjoy!

Last updated on Friday, January 4, 2002 Some nitty-gritty:

I try to list the approximate time when the skeleton/skull is first seen in the scene (hour:min) but where I haven't verified the reported occurance, I show the time as 0:00. The times are based on the tapes in my library and are not meant to be exact, given the fact that some people prefer to keep Mentos ads and some edit them out (I, for one, LIKE them . . . but I digress...).
