Has anyone has suggested their favorite film dance party? There seems to have been a ton of films on MST that featured parties.
My favorite has to be the mid-afternoon dance at the high school for the school teachers in “The Creeping Terror.” Lame big band music performed by a drummer and piano player.
I’m going to expand it a bit and ask: What party in a MSTed movie, with dancing or not, do you wish you’d been invited to?
I’m gonna go with that swingin’ boat party in “Catalina Caper.” Maybe I could get Little Richard’s autograph before he’s hustled out the back door.
What’s your pick?

Does the Haunted House from Girl in Gold Boots count? Because, that’s where I want to exist. I actually live near where it used to be (it’s now a porno theater), and the inside still has all the cave-like structuring, minus the big monster head stage.
Definitely the skydiving party in Skydivers were the skinny guy is dancing with that amazon or how’s ’bout the bar party in Wild Rebels or Village of the Giants. Ronald McDonald shaking his McBooty!!!!
BTW the band in the Skydivers scene is Jimmy Bryant’s, who was an amazing guitarist. Track down his albums with slide player Speedy West, they’re fantastic
The party at Catalina Caper with the Creeper girl or party with the nuns in Girls Town. Those nuns rock.
The grief sharing dance in Creeping Terror. “Her hinder, it’s out of control!”
I wanna go to that pool party in LASERBLAST. That sheet cake looks good…
plus:
EDDIE DEEZEN!
:party: :nerd:
Another vote for the Skydivers party. Clearly, there’s a LOT of intoxicants involved and they’ll let absolutely anyone in.
The Village of the Giants party might be fun too, if only so I can look up Beau Bridges’ skirt while he’s go-go dancing.
What, no love for the barn dance from “The Giant Gila Monster”? The kids really dug that 45 year old alcoholic dj. “I sing whenever I sing whenever I siiiiing…”
Some good ones here! Catalina Caper was what I first thought of, too.
Since someone already said Club Scum, how about a house party w/ the Hobgoblin crew? *sways back/forth* ‘It’s the 80s! Do a lot of coke and vote for Ronald Reagan!’
Also, I don’t know if it’s technically a party, but the nightclub in Master Ninja with that warbling 70s music.
Oh, and any of those keen teen malt shop parties in the 50s/60s movies, like the closet-sized one in Giant Gila Monster.
I think I’ve actually been to Club Scum, or some place very much like it.
But for parties, here’s my list:
The bunkhouse shindig in “Untamed Youth”–who wouldn’t want to get up close and personal with Mamie van Doren?
Or the party in “Catalina Caper,” to hear Little Richard, a Ray Davies song or two, and maybe buy Creepy Girl as glass of wine and swap fish stories. There’s a night out!
Failing that, the “A Go-Go” party in “Monster a Go-Go.” If only because, for once, I’d be the coolest person in the room (trust me, it ain’t saying much).
The one with the girls in ‘Horrors Of Spider Island’.
‘Nuff said.:drool:
No spiders though please.
Village Of The Giants, where you can dance with giant ducks and listen to Keanu’s band “Dogstar.”
I will go to Count Dracula
Wow, nobody has mentioned hanging around BATWOMAN’S HOUSE on ANY GIVEN DAY. That place is wall-to-wall hot bikini girls dancing and wrestling with horseshoes. ZOWIE!

The 80’s house party in Hobgoblins; that’s how all of my parties end up as anyway.
The party for Cabot when he reaches Gor seems pretty sweet. Lots of dancing girls and music.
Don’t really know if you call it a “party”, but I would give my left knuckle to join the successful drug-destroying women at the pond in “Angels Revenge.”
I’d have to go with Catalina Caper, just to hang around with the former Teddy Bears singer Carol Connors (The Book of Love). Yes, she was in the original group that launched Phil Spector’s career. But barring that, I’d probably carouse endlessly with Batwoman’s girls at the beach or the local Motel Six.
What about the party going on in the van in Hobgoblins?
Are you guys all kidding? Who wouldn’t want to party with the kids in “What To Do On A Date”? Setting up the rummage sale? Sa- WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
I’d like to go to the party in Skydivers. Apparently everyone was invited, plus that woman on the roller skates was pretty good looking.
The weenie roast on Space Children. Uncle Fester (Jackie Koogan) in shorts. Eeeeesh. ‘Nuf said.
“Jackie Coogan’s Weinie Roast” sounds like a great title for a late night tv special. I was thinking of some of the parties I would want to skip. The one that sounds the most bizarre comes from Angel’s Revenge. Who wouldn’t want to show up to Arthur Godfrey’s hotel room at 3am for a get together? Sounds awful. Now, if Peter Lawford hosted a pool party maybe…
Man, some tough choices here. But I’m gonna have to go with Manly Beach Dance from Horror of Party Beach.
Still, the Creeping Terror’s dance is a very close second. Dig that bland, repetitive music!
I’d go to the pool party in Teenagers From Outer Space. I know it’s less a party, and more just a couple of friends hanging out by the pool, but I don’t care! That Betty was seriously one of the most beautiful girls ever, and her friend Alice wasn’t too shabby either.
Funny, when I saw what the thread was, the first thing that came to mind was the dance ruined by the Creeping Terror. The Giant Gila Monster barn dance looks like good clean fun with some good clean kids; maybe have an intervention after for the DJ and for the old guy with the Model T. Plus, it’s packed and groovin. Kind of the opposite of the party in Teenage Werewolf where once a year the passive aggressive teens take out their resentments on each other with increasingly cruel pranks, ending in awkward fistfights.
But my final vote goes for the picnic/hootenanny from Creeping Terror. Lounge around on a blanket in your swimwear, listen to bad folk music on a plywood guitar, and get eaten.
Definitely the beach dance at Horror Beach – love the Del-Aires!
After that I’d like to see that combo that really swings.
How about if we took the party from Girl with the Gold Boots, sent the creepy stupid white people home, then asked the black drummers to invite their friends over. Now that would be a party!
The Fire Maidens definitely throw the best slumber parties, and for a pool party I’d definitely go with Betty and friends from Teenagers from Outer Space.
And finally I must say that the Roman pants party Brain Guy threw looked like fun though I’m not sure why.
If I rewrote my last post I definitely wouldn’t repeat the word definitely so blatantly. Definitely.
No Roman pants parties. Not allowed.
And no Brain Guy bump and grind dances at parties.
Too disturbing. Not allowed.
There are a lot of cool parties to choose from. For me:
1. Horror of Spider Island cabin party. If you get bored with all the girls, you can go inside and fight.
2. Horror of Party Beach. Again with the fighting. Introduced gay men as weapons.
3. Hellcats. Dun’t know why.
I’d have to agree with the many who say the swingin’ boat party in “Catalina Caper.” Ah, the late ’60s, when all teens were fresh and wholesome (except maybe Creepy Girl), everyone lived near a clean beach, and the sun was shining every day. At least that’s how I remember it.
I would take some Zoloft and Paxil and margarita mix to the very tightly tense engagement party and hopefully that would take off some of the edge for poor Jessie. Oh, and her condescending and cheating husband would get a large dose of saltpeter. If there are overdoses General Hospital is not too far.
The dance on Hamlet. Night fever, night feveeeeeerrr. We know how to dooo iiiiit.
Another party not to miss is Troxardis’ feast in Deathstalker. Dead warriors and bald men in shirt dresses, who could ask for more. It more than just potatoes that they eat.
The ren fest in the beginning might be fun, if your into that kind of thing.
What about the dance-a-thon in Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster? They even have a place where you can go-go.
Funny….no one’s mentioned the “5 Pound Potty” Party they had in the short, “The Home Economics Story”… :-D
I’m trying to post gravatar avatar. This is frustrating.
No one mentioned the party animal himself, Zap Rowsdower.
Me, Mamie Van Doren on my arm at one of Rowsdower’s famous parties. The booze flowing as are the women.
Anyone agree?
hello? :laugh:
I’m with you Pirengle! Watch the kids dance ’til they puke then go steal an incredibly expensive boat and head for “Panama”, dude! Whoooo!
The giant, slo-mo dance party in ‘Village of the Giants,’ and I didn’t need to think twice about that.
Just put me in place of Beau Bridges in that toga, set me right in front of Joy Harmon, and I too will dance like I’m stuck in thick molasses.
I am going to have to retroactively agree with John M Hannah about the best party to attend being the one in Horror of Spider Island, which I actually just watched for the first time–I had somehow never seen it (maybe I had confused it with Giant Spider Invasion?) But my God. The island party with the bikini girls who are excited about their forthcoming rescue–yes, that is a shindig.
the slumber party from the Violent Years orrrr the welcome back what’syername feast from the Outlaw of Gor.
As a child of the 80’s I would probably choose hanging out at Club Scum with those kooky kids from Hobgoblins!! Maybe a close second would be cruising with Tia Carrere and running over Jon Mikl Thor while listening to Motorhead and Girlschool in Zombie Nightmare.
robot rump!:
“Welcome Back, Cabot” sounds like the makings of a 70s sitcom–with Watney as Horshack and the Jack Palance guy as the crusty-but-benign principal. Imagine the possibilities.
I gotta go with that crazy scene in Skydivers…seriously, WTF? It out-waters John Waters!
Not really a party but one could join in with the dancing to upset the old geezer in the diner seen in “The Crawling Hand”. “No dancing! Not allowed!”.
I know Creeping Terror has already been mentioned, but has anyone brought up the jalopy parking party at makeout point? 23 SKIDOO!
I’d settle for the backyard party in “Village of the Giants.” Sure, the music stinks, but you get pieces of giant irradiated duck! How can you miss?
(and you can debate the best way to get Tommy Kirk par-boiled before he tortures us in little pants).
:-)
All this folderol makes one thing abundantly clear….there just wasn’t too many good parties on MST3K. As if further proof is needed, I’m casting my lot with the Creeping Terror. Wubble, wubble, wubble.
No question: the party toward the end of Horrors of Spider Island. Lots of hot women, who evidently don’t mind sharing; almost no other men; and most importantly, a really lame monster who somehow scares the girls silly. Garry!
Or, you know, just any random day at Batwoman’s house.
The master’s wives on Manos look like they could party. Even if they just catfight, I wouldn’t mind joining in a little… tumble :party:
Or a Ballerian tupperware party, just don’t invite the Oak Ridge Boys! :cowboy: Elvira!
