I was thinking this morning, what with vacation season coming close, what places in MSTied movies would make a good vacation spots. I was thinking of two, specifically. The first would be far side of the moon. An astronomy vacation would be much better without all that annoying atmosphere. The second would be a visit with Crenshaw to see the little creature?
What’s yours?
Thanks for asking. I’d like to visit Trollenberg Mountain from “The Crawling Eye.” I’ll keep an eye out for suspicious cloud formations…
What’s your pick?

After touring Eegah’s art collection, I think I’d swing by the fun amusement park in “Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living…” and enjoy the rides. :)
Well, I think I’d personally have to visit the Lodge which the travellers in Manos never actually got to. It must have been an exciting place…
That quaint town in Vermont from Time Chasers might be a good place to unplug for a weekend and finally start that copy of Moby Dick I bought in college.
Oh, and I hear that somebody’s put the Satellite of Love back into orbit, and turned the Umbilicus into the world’s longest waterslide… :-)
I would visit the New Mexico dessert and dine on traditional dishes made with chicken, corn, green peppers . . .
From Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, I’d save my credits for a turn as a giraffe (not as a monkey).
Summertime is Beachtime! I hear that Party Beach has a swingin’ band called the Del-Aires that play night and day and, if your girl friend is a drunken tart, something might come out of the sea and eat her! Rock music that the kids seem to like, tiny tiny swim trunks, chicks in bikinis with scarves on their heads, what more could you want from a summer vacation?
I think I’d try some bargain shopping for cursed artifacts at Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders.
I think I’ll go on a tour of America with the clones from “The Clonus Horror”….today!
Okay, if you want academic stimulation (sort of) and a relaxing
atmosphere try Castleton in bucolic Vermont. Take in a summer
course or two. If yo’re into time traveling you might want to
take “Investigating the Civil War: A Place-Based Teacher Institute, Sarah Rooker, June 25 to June 29, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and July 30, 2012, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, Various Historical Locations (e.g. Morrill Homestead, Strafford, VT, The American Precision Museum, Windsor, VT, Woodstock Historical Society, Woodstock, VT)”
while a teacher tech geek might consider

be available this semester.
Also enjoy the Rutland scenary, historic reenactments, thrilling
skydiving demonstrations (the skydiving mass gramma demo is to
die for) and there’s good, healthy eating at the supermarket. Plus
you can get all the maple syrup you want cheap.
Either the magic cloud workshop or Mars from the Santa Claus movies. I’d love to explore the weirdness of the former, spy on my enemies with the all-seeing eye thing, maybe liberate all the little stereotypes from their indentured servitude. You know, if they wanted to be liberated.
With the latter, I’d obviously just spend my time sending Droppo off on snipe hunts that result in him getting pummeled senseless by other Martians. I’m guessing I could do that at least four or five times before he finally caught on.
After a nice meal at Eats, I’d visit Jim Backus’s fascist petting zoo for a tour. Then I’d go A LOT to England.
Actually, I would like to go on the “Coleman Francis Package Tour”. We start off with visiting a roadside stand to play with the Cayutes. Then, we travel to the local rural airport and watch the plane land. Then, finally, we’re whisked off to Cuba (New Mexico) for some frog legs a la Wesimuller and a visit with really Fidel. All travel supplied by Cherokee Jack and the Santa Fe Railway.
I’d go to Venezuela and drive the WIDE roads to check out all the WIDE bodies of water! :car:
How about Seagull Island? We could meet Vicki Robbins there, take in the local pubs and compare cigarettes! She got a lot of relaxation there!
#6
Porpoise
A word of advice. Just don’t try to go as
a filthy, disgusting anteater.
Now a stallion!
I’d go visit Vi at the lighthouse.
Not trying to brag BUT…..I have been to a few places actually in the movies. Cataline Island, thankfully Tommy Kirk was not there. Diamond Head from Code name: Diamond Head and I was outside the Parliment building in London that was seen briefly in The Castle of Fu Manchu. There may be few more I just can’t recall. I’d like to visit the alter from Manos……The Master would not approve.:eek:
Per “Warrior o/t Lost World” I’d go on a Rough Roadster tour of Ohio (looking great after the apocalypse), then truck on over to St. Andrew’s for a quick nine, then blow the bejeebers out of some of man’s greatest architecture.
Now, what to do on Day 2?…
I’d take the scenic tour through beautiful Yucca Flats.
I’m taking my whole family to see where the fish lives!
All the woods around Rowsdower’s place. There are probably some great geocaches hidden out there.
The Atlantean pleasure palace that was Fire Maidens from Outer Space. If the ladies dug the pompous jerks from the film, they’d love me.
I’d go see if Ortega still working at the carnival.
I’m going to the Moonfire Inn and hang out with the Hellcats, drink some beers, and listen to them talk in hopelessly outdated slang. Then we’d head out to “the park” and enjoy some outdoor games, like “Motor Pull” and “Red Rover” with a rival gang. Everything would come together when Ross Hagen says “Peace brothers. No more war. Yeah.” Or something like that.
I’m planning my visit to the Turd Museum as we speak!
If I had about four hours I might want to take a walking tour of Chicago. Or I might find a World’s Fair somewhere and watch the phone demonstrations. It also might be fun to have Cal fly me cross-country in a taxpayer-funded jet, as long as we don’t develop a refreshing mint flavor.
After hanging out with Ortega, getting my palm read by Madame Estrella and riding a roller coaster for three hours. I would go down to Club Scum hang out with Roadrash and get drunk.
I’m with #7, SheriffJeff, in that summertime is beach time. I’d go to Catalina Island but would also time travel back to the ’60s and hang with the teens from “Catalina Caper.” We’d be partying and dancing all day long (Vietnam War? What war???), but I’d try to stay away from Creepy Girl.
Several years ago my dad lived in Albuquerque, NM for a while and I went out to visit him. We were driving along one day beside the mountains and I asked him what they were called and he said they were the Sandia mountains and that we had just gone by Sandia Crest. Track of the Moon Beast is one of my top five faves and so I just burst out laughing. My dad has a good sense of humor and he laughed too after I explained why that was so funny. I had a nice time there and thankfully didn’t see any demon-lizard monsters. I didn’t get any stew either.
I would love to visit Progress Island. That place looked fantastic with tons of opportunity.
Without question, the thirteenth moon of Jupiter!
Anybody up for a dune buggy ride? My tires are filled with water!
And if it gets too hot, we could all head over to the Land of Dairy Queen aka planet Krankor. HA HA HA HAAAAAAH!
I’d go where the fish lives and eat a ham sandwich (since I can, you stupid, stupid dummy).
…and then on to the Walnut Ranch where I’d try my hand at roping one.
I’d also be up for a scavenger sale or weenie roast, that is, if it’s something Kay would be interested in doing. But how do I know if it”s something she’d like?
I’d choose the concept car show and the World of Tomorrow in “Design for Dreaming.” My masked man and I will choose five or ten retro vehicles (all on his dime of course), then we’ll drive off in a plume of mysterious fog and time-travel to our idyllic Future vacation spot (“roads? where we’re going, we won’t need roads!” ;D).
Any place that a whirlpool won’t suck up my odd floating dolphin riding-toy
Every year I go to the Wayne County Fair in Honesdale, PA and I always have a good time. So, I figure I’d go to the county fair from “A Day at the Fair”.
And I’ll second going to the World’s Fair from “Century 21 Calling”. That actually looks pretty interesting.
Forget Sandals, I would go to the farm in “Deadly Bees”.
Traveling through Arizona or New Mexico to find “Eat” from Girl in Gold Boots and then go to the Haunted House.
The oceanic theme park in “Devil Fish”
Prime Vacation Spots, that’s an easy one:
1) The Moon. Been wanting to see it in person since I was a kid. (Rocketship X-M, Radar Men From The Moon, 12 To The Moon)
2) Catalina. (Catalina Caper)
3) Mars. (Rocketship X-M)
4) Bronson Canyon. Its natural beauty is featured in many films.
5) Italy. Many MSTed films shot there. (Danger! Death Ray, Operation Kid Brother, Diabolik, Secret Agent Super Dragon, etc.)
6) Tokyo. Why should Godzilla and Gamera have all the fun?
7) Greece. I want to meet Heracles (Hercules) and see the ruins.
Angie @#30, all our demon-lizard monsters are usually turned into burritos, not stew, which explains not experiencing either while you were here. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I am going to have to say beautiful Santa Catalina Island as well. But I would time travel to the mid or late 70s for it, just so I can have fun dancing to some disco and not be embarrassed!
I want to go to Valley Loogie.
Or get my palm read and spend the day at the Incredibly Strange Carnival! Of course I’d be sure to get my Schick into shape, ’cause when traveling I like to be clean shaven and make a good impression wherever I go.
I’d visit
Scenic San Lorenzo for the Milling Around Festival!
I’d also make sure I’d stay for the closing steak fight.
I always thought the Special Agent: Super Dragon made Amsterdam look nice.
Oh, and seconded on Progress Island as long as Groovy Clothes is still open.
I wanna go wander around the Canadian World’s Fair! :(
(I’d already been to two of them, but was too young to remember the first one, and the entire fair didn’t go out of their way to entertain me personally.)
#47
Nay! Amsterdam does look good but how about swinging ’60s London
(unless you’d rather go to a dreary bee infested island for a
holiday).
A word to the wise: you might want to stay away from islands.
There’s six (VI) on Tormented tormenting Richard Carlson, the
Killer Shrews killing Festus, Bloodlust isle killing just about
everybody, The Deadly Bees killing your joy of life, even Catalina
has Tommy Kirk and Lyle Waggoner (although there are compensations).
Oh, where are you, Creepy Girl?
