MST3K: The Singles Collection
The episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 included here were among the first to be released on DVD, but they were only released individually (or, in one case, paired) and not in the numbered and beloved volumes that would house episodes for nearly two decades. Behold, then, MST3K: The Singles Collection. Included here are the out-of-print loners, the misfits, less standoffish than reclusive, but no less deserving of love than any of the other episodes with a volume to call home. Don’t look for a theme or pattern behind this collection. We’re simply putting them back in print and under one roof for your enjoyment and to bring sweet relief to collectors of this glorious Cowtown puppet show.
Films Include:
The Crawling Hand
The Hellcats
Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
Eegah
I Accuse My Parents
Shorts Volume 3
Why We Love It
“This six-disc set is another fantastic release from Shout! Factory and fills some crucial gaps for collectors trying to complete their Mystery Science Theater 3000 run. Every episode and short included is filled with some great riffs and obscure references, but Eegah stands out as a highlight of not only this volume but the entire series. Definitely pick this one up before these previously out-of-print episodes disappear again!” – Adam Frazier, Geeks of Doom
“For long-time fans and newcomers alike, this MST3K set is a must-own. Some of the show’s absolute best episodes are included here, and the newly produced bonuses, which offer show creator Joel Hodgson’s reflections and provide history on some of the guilty parties featured filmmakers, are worthy additions. DVD Talk Collector Series.” – Justin Remer, DVD Talk
“Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Singles Collection contains easily the best assortment of episodes available in any of Shout! Factory’s many MST3K box sets – and it comes at a bargain value, containing 50% more MST goodness at the same price point. You get three (arguably) Top 20 episodes from the show’s original run, another very strong sampling from their first season, a decent and previously hard-to-find episode, and the long-lost third compilation of shorts. That’s a lot of bang for your buck.” – Austin Trunick, Under The Radar
“…the discs sport lots of juicy new extras, including the mini-documentaries we’ve grown to love with great thanks to writer-director Daniel Griffith and his Ballyhoo productions.” – Bruce Westbrook, Tripping The Light
“To say this is a must-own for hardcore Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans is a bit of an understatement. There are a couple films in here that you just can’t get the original MST3K releases to without forking over $300+ on eBay. We say screw the gougers and put your money into a well-needed collection where you can get six episodes at a fraction of the price.” – Gavin Sheehan, Bleeding Cool
“All in all, this is another solid release of MST3K material from the good folks at Shout! Factory. If you’re a fan, you’ll definitely want to pick it up. Now push the button, Frank.” – Tim Salmons, The Digital Bits
