Lippert, Lassie, free coffins, and MR. BEARDSLEY!!
hamburger sammiches and french fried potatoes for everyone!
First off… hooray for another new set! Shorts for everyone!
Second… the whole Gumby thing got cleared up? The Shout! Factory people are gods. It’s the only thing that makes sense anymore.
WOAH! An all-shorts volume. Painted Hills is one of the most underrated episodes. Now to freeze myself until the pre-order link comes out.
YES!!! SCREAMING; SKULL!! :)
Shout Factory! tweeted that this will be a “Turkey Day collection”. Take that however you want.
AWESOME NEWS!!
Jungle Goddess – classic!
Lassie – perhaps the most under-rated MST ever!
Screaming Skull – blotted out porn posters!!!!!
and my hero – MR. BEARDSLEY!!!!!!!!!!
This is absolutely wonderful!
Is this coming out in time for Christmas?!!
Excellent!!! I’ve been wanting a good copy of The Painted Hills since I fell asleep and accidentally wiped “Sweet Metamucil!” off the tape. Don’t care for Squirm, but I love the rest!
Awesome news!!! “The Painted Hills” is one of my top favorite episodes that hasn’t come out on DVD. It’s also nice (and slightly shocking) to see that they got the whole Gumby thing cleared up. Very cool. “Jungle Goddess” was never one of my favorites, but still a classic episode. Honestly, I don’t even remember “Squirm” off the top of my head. I doubt I’ve even watched that one since it was last shown on Sci-Fi.
Yay, The Painted Hills! One of my favorite underrated classics! And I know a buddy of mine who’ll be thrilled to finally have Squirm :)
We’re only two episodes away from having MST3K: The Complete Second Season here. If they’ve got Lost Continent, King Dinosaur, and now Jungle Goddess, then I can’t imagine Rocketship X-M could be far behind. The only real bugaboo would be securing Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster…but Shout already got Puma Man and now the Gumby short, so I’m beginning to think they can pretty much get the rights to anything they want.
My guess is that the Turkey Day reference is probably in regards to the release date – mid to late November.
The only one of these I’ve seen (save for the shorts) is Jungle Goddess. On the Christmas list it goes!
Shout’s got a lot of cool stuff planned for the end of the year – they just announced UHF, Mad Max and Escape From New York.
YES SPRINGS!
I don’t give a flying fudge cycle what any the circus freak crybaby Halloween fans (and I am one of them)who have been bitching and moaning all week about the specifications and special features on Shout Factory’s upcoming Halloween Complete Collection Deluxe Edition (which is also super sweet and I ALSO am super psyched for!)… Shout Factory delivers to it’s fan base 100% every time. Since the MST3K 20th Anniversary Collection 5 years ago they have done nothing but swing for the fences and hit it out of the park every time (The Gamera Collection????). And some of these episodes we have written off as legal nightmares that would never see the light of DVD release.
Thank you Shout Factory…for making us laugh at Mickey and Lassie…again.
GET A BOX!!!
All cool. My copy of Squirm has started breaking up near the end. It will be great to see an unpixillated, not chopped up jail scene! Mr. Beardsley and Lassie too!
So the last Joel episode of season five will be one of the greatest episodes ever: “Hercules!” Saving the best for last, of course.
Perhaps the “Turkey Day collection” is in reference to the classic 1991 marathon bumper sketches and promos. Those haven’t been released on dvd yet, have they?
Fantastic. I love both The Screaming Skull and Squirm, and I wasn’t expecting either. This gets my hopes up for some Roger Corman in a future set *cough* The Undead *cough*.
I am not familar with The Painted Hills, but I look forward to all new-to-DVD releases.
Body Care And Grooming… they’re cops!
Thank heavens for the internal genitalia!
Disappointed there’s no Rocketship XM yet. I’ve been waiting for that one. Still, this is an excellent setup. Looking forward to it.
That squares my breasts.
“HI! I’m Satan! Enjoy the film!”
You know what would make a great bonus feature for “Squirm”?
Jeff Leiberman ranting about MST3K….. only to get tied to a wall, and kicked in the balls by every MSTie in the world.
Lassie, Gumby, and Coily the Spring Sprite all in one MST3K box set. What more could you ask for?
BTW, San Diego Comic Con was definitely a home run for Shout Factory, as, along with the MST3K set, they also announced UHF (as in the Weird Al film), Escape from New York, the original Mad Max, and Zyuranger (aka the original Japanese series that would become Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers). All that’s missing is season 4 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

“The only real bugaboo would be securing Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster…but Shout already got Puma Man and now the Gumby short, so I’m beginning to think they can pretty much get the rights to anything they want.”
Now let’s not get all crazy here.
Yes! Now I’M gonna be da worm face! I’m just going to go ahead and give Shout! my Paypal password. It’ll save a lot of time.

“Since the MST3K 20th Anniversary Collection 5 years ago they have done nothing but swing for the fences and hit it out of the park every time (The Gamera Collection????).”
The Gamera set was truly an outstanding achievement for Shout Factory.
When I saw complainers/reviewers on Amazon bashing the Gamera set, I just shook my turtle head and turned on the rear jets.
Those poor lost clueless bastards.
I have no time for them.
@ 24
I want a Shout!Factory special edition MST3K VISA card and just have these box sets marked as subscription auto ship.
Finally, Jungle Goddess!
with squirm you have only diabolik and track of the moonbeast left for season 10. I think track of the moonbeast is public domain. I think they are going to try to finish season 2 and 10. I think the volume after this should be rocketship x-m, Hercules, track of the moonbeast and diabolik. That way you finished season 10 and almost finish season 2. Hercules will finish the joel half of season 5.
That’s 3 titles I never thought I’d see on an official set. And Squirm is the only one I haven’t been able to convert from VHS to DVD. So hot damn and all that.
While I don’t think this is the killer lineup that most do, I also do not see the lack of love for Jungle Goddess (#27 excluded). Sure, while it has put me to sleep on occasion, I am glad to be getting a better copy. I am also surprised that this is a 3 black and white set. Only, Squirm saves that.
So, I rate this as a solid, if not spectacular line up. I am still waiting for “Track of the Moon Beast” and someone at Shout! to get on Susan Hart’s good side (whatever it takes!)
Thank you Shout!
This set will make my Turkey Day better- maybe even Halloween if there is a pre-release.
YAY!!!!
Preparing for the mother of all pile-ons
@ 22
You for got to mention Shout/Scream Factory’s Halloween The Complete Blu-ray Collection….all 10 Halloween films together for the first time ever…plus the illusive Producer’s Cut of part 6!
Love Screaming Skull. Mickey is about as close to a Torgo family member as you get. Come to think of it, wouldn’t it be cool to be at a Torgo family get-together? I smell a holiday movie hit! “Would you….(grunt)….please….um…..(arm outstretching in odd and unsettling manner)….pass the…(squirming in seat)…..gravy?” Also, what’s not to love with Gumby and his Class F license? I also enjoy Painted Hills, perhaps more since I watched a lot of Lassie as a young’un. Don’t remember much about Jungle Goddess or Squirm. But overall, a better set than most and certainly better than Vol. XXX.

You’re forgetting that The Painted Hills is also in color.
I still have Screaming skull on VHS!! I want The Painted Hills!! I want to see Lassie kick some ass!!!
Still waiting for Diabolik!!!
Snausages!

I’ll bet we will get 5 more sets and then things start getting complicated.
Still… 77% of the show has been released at of XXXI. That’s absolutely incredible.
Never thought Squirm would make it to MST-DVD land. Proof, I guess, that enough money will make even a director or company that hates MST3K do anything. Huzzah for the whole set!
@ 33 Most Halloween fans have known about the complete Halloween collection for some time now. What I was listing were the titles that Shout/Scream Factory announced at their panel (and on Twitter) last night.
GREAT SET
I love Jungle Goddess (Wanama dumb) , Painted Hills is the last of the Warner titles they acquired, Screaming Skull is another solid episode with the Gumby short, I bet they pounced on it once they could license it..and Squrim, not only do we get the MST version but Scream Factory has it scheduled for blu ray this fall, uncut.
Overall a solid set and hope it sells well :)
In the case of “Squirm”, I think it has more to do with MGM (I think that’s the company that owns Squirm) saying yes. Jeff Leiberman has no say on how that movie’s released (one of the things he ranted about regarding the MSTed version).
I can only imagine how he’s reacting right now. He must be pouting in a corner somewhere, hugging a little teddy bear….
Can’t wait to see what kind of cover S. Vance does for Squirm. Sounds like another great set. Good job Shout Factory!
How awesome is it that a Lassie movie is being released?!! Seems like anything is possible now.
Yeah, this is another good one. SQUIRM is one of my Sci-Fi season favorites (plus, that movie ain’t all that bad…) and PAINTED HILLS is an okay episode; the short really steals the show in that one. The other two, JUNGLE GODDESS and THE SCREAMING SKULL are only “fair” in my book, but with the rights issues of the Gumby short that we’ve all been aware of for years, the inclusion of SKULL is a most welcome surprise. Thumbs up, Shout!Factory!
Shout!Factory’s subdivision ScreamFactory is releasing a Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray of SQUIRM in October, so the inclusion in a MST set is not exactly surprising (gonna be a lot of Squirming going on this fall, as I imagine Vol. XXXI will be out in November). What IS surprising is that we have yet to see INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN hit a MST set yet, as ScreamFactory released that on BluRay back in July of 2013. Hmmmmm….I’m still waiting on that one….
The “turkey day collection” tweet that Shout! sent out (mentioned @#6 and by others) I believe means that this new Volume will see release sometime in late November, but hopefully it also means that they will include some Turkey Day bonuses. I think so far only the T.D. ’95 bumpers and segments have seen release, on Vol. XVI.
Now the waiting begins for the official Bonus Features announcement…
:-)
“Jungle Goddess” was my first episode. So great to finally have it in DVD format (even if it ends up with tape hits on it).
Feel like this is a solid set but without a bona fide classic. I really do enjoy all four eps though and, as always, remain a huge fan of Shout.
It’s all subjective, of course, but these are the remaining yet to be released eps that I consider to be 5 star classics:
Season Three
305 – Stranded in Space (CBS)
307 – Daddy-O (Arkoff Estate)
309 – The Amazing Colossal Man (Susan Hart)
311 – It Conquered the World (Susan Hart)
319 – War of the Colossal Beast (LionsGate)
Season Four
401 – Space Travelers (Columbia/Sony)
403 – City Limits (LionsGate)
405 – Being from Another Planet (Roger Corman)
416 – Fire Maidens of Outer Space (Olive Films)
418 – Attack of the The Eye Creatures (MGM)
Season Six
601 – Girls Town (LionsGate)
614 – San Francisco International (Universal)
618 – High School Big Shot (Public Domain)
Season Seven
703 – Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell (Roger Corman)
704 – The Incredible Melting Man (MGM)
Season Eight
806 – The Undead (Arkoff Estate)
814 – Riding with Death (Universal)
Season Ten
1007 – Track of the Moon Beast (Public Domain)
1013 – Diabolik (Paramount)
Never piled on a dog before…
@10 – GvSM is now back with Sony (unlike the public-domain airing at the time), so it’s pretty unlikely. :(
And I’d have guessed Turkey Day segments too (like the alternates we got on Night of the Blood Beast), but…Squirm didn’t have any, did it?
