So let’s go with Rick’s suggestion:
In “Girl in lovers lane” Crow and Servo suggest an alternate ending. My girlfriend suggests that many MST movies lend themselves to alternate endings.
For instance, in Devil Doll, would it have not been ironic after Hugo and Vorelli soul switch that Hugo, now fully transferred into Vorelli, would be arrested (as Vorelli) for the Butt Lady’s murder?Suggestions?
I’d suggest a darker ending to “Robot Holocaust” — just when everybody thinks it’s all over — cut to Torg … whose eyes light up.
Your suggestion?

An alternate ending to Tormented in which the spirits of Tom Stewart, Vi, and the blackmailer are reincarnated as siblings in a suburban neighborhood. “Hey brother, I saw you trip Vi on the playground and skin her knee. Give me your candy bar or I’ll tell dad”.

For the record, the henchman robot from Robot Holocaust was Torque. Torg was the robot from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
Speaking of Santa Claus, in the Mexican film of the same name, no one ever goes to the observatory. As a result, Santa ends up trapped on Earth and is found guilty of breaking and entering. Adding insult to injury (or perhaps the other way around), Dante gets a chomp on Santa’s hinder, which gets infected. Evil wins and a Hell on Earth is established. But since this is Pitch’s brand of Evil, it’s more of a Heck on Earth.

Maybe that’s what Sampo meant — maybe he was pitching a lead-in to a crossover sequel where the Martians return to see if Santa Claus survived the Holocaust, maybe invade a little, and definitely “accidentally” leave Droppo behind somewhere.
That’s what you get for landing in San Diego in the middle of Comic-con…

About the Bright eyes/Moore affair…I’m afraid it gets worse for pre-NASA NASA pr:
After a few days Briteis talks Tommy into making explicit videos of their trysts
(bizarrely claiming that an “internet” would sometime make porn super available and
profitable). Well, soon the Legion of Decency, Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, June and Ward Cleaver,
etc. immediately respond (on the premis of “keeping our boys pure” and send a reformed conman from Iowa
to alert the public to the terrible, terrible danger they were in. They might have succeeded save for an
astronette (Barbarella) making a film of their “exploits.” Matters then took a surprising turn when…

In 1960, a helicopter, carrying prototype FM-41 Redeye man-portable surface-to-air missiles, exploded over Southern California. Its cargo was scattered over a wide area.
Over the next five years, three different fugitives running across the desert, being pursued by grim assailants in light aircraft and helicopters who wielded incredibly accurate rifles, at critical moments discovered intact and still-functioning Redeyes in the desert sand, nestled under yucca plants.
And three different Coleman Francis movies had new and radically more entertaining endings.

Beginning of the End:
Miles away from Chicago, a lone military truck brings a still alive giant grasshopper to a secret government installation in the middle of the desert, where it is herd into a large glass and concrete container. The camera pulls back to reveal similar containers each containing giant lizards, spiders, wasps, crabs, scorpions, ants, birds, mollusks, rats, snakes, Bruce Barton ( The Cyclops-1957) and Glen Manning being monitored by a group of scientists . The screen goes black just as one of the scientists states that they have perfected Dr. Wainwright’s research and are ready to start phase 2 in the preparing for the coming growing threat.

In Time Chasers, when Nick #1 meets Nick #2, things don’t go as well as planned. I’ll let Doc Brown explain it:
“The encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the spacetime continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that’s a worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localised, limited to merely our own galaxy.”
Oops!

I’m guessing you mean this one (for those who care to see how they previously responded). That time around, I had proposed that the cast of King Dinosaur had failed to clear the blast radius.

I’d like to suggest that Manos have no ending at all, but rather it should randomly become a music video like they do in those big Bollywood productions, where all the wives and Torgo dance around the master, making him look like an idiot, and it would span over several days and then the entire cast would fly away on a ratty moth eaten carpet imprinted with those wacky “Manos” hands like the Master has on his tunic.

The end of The Wild World of Batwoman ends with a lawyer arriving on the set with a cease and desist letter from DC Comics. Then Burt Ward, Adam West, and Yvonne Craig bust in with costumes on to start beating the crap of out the cast — with BIFF! POW! and BLAMMO! appearing on screen.
Oh, and this “ending” takes place about 13 minutes into the movie. The rest of the movie is the Batman actors fighting the cast and destroying the set with police rounding up the crew and getting them into police cars.
Andy Worhol is revealed to be the director in the final credits.

In “Final Sacrifice”, Larry Csonka is revealed to have been alive and well the whole time, in hiding from the creepy cult. Meanwhile, Rowsdower’s space truck arrives on the sun, finding a never-ending supply of fine craft beer on its surface. I see the final scene in my mind, of Csonka and Troy discussing their respective passions (football and Larry Csonka memorabilia) while delicious beer flows between the stars of the galaxy.

In Cave Dwellers, after bombing the castle, Ator lands to find himself confronted by an FAA inspector and a SWAT team. He’s charged with violation of FAA regulation SOP-12-4 Part 103.B.9.B: “No person may allow an object to be dropped from an ultralight vehicle if such action creates a hazard to other persons or property” as well as several terrorism-related offenses, and carted off to jail.
When asked by reporters why he tipped off the feds, the informant replied “I spent years with that guy, forced to serve, being called various stereotypical names (my real name is Brandon, thank you very much — he never even asked), never allowed to talk back. When he decided on this insane raid, I saw my opportunity to get out of this toxic relationship, and took it.”

Maybe they took the shirt and Doc’s hidden Kodak instamatic to the forensics lab at Insane Hog Caller University? On second thought the camera would just be filled with creepy pictures of Tanya bending over in the camper, so never mind that.
