Mystery Science Theater 3000: The RiffTrax Experiments — Sting of Death
The storied history of Mystery Science Theater includes many, MANY cheap rubber monster suits... and somehow, some way, Sting of Death may have the worst so far. MSTies might recognize director William Grefé as the director behind the MST3K Season 2 experiment Wild Rebels. You'll be happy to know he made Sting of Death first, so Wild Rebels was a movie he made as an even more experienced filmmaker. As an added bonus, this movie also features the aptly titled "Do The Jellyfish" by Songwriting Hall of Fame inductee Neil Sedaka. Does this tune warrant TWO extended dance sequences? Probably not, but it is an earworm that will still be drilled into your head long after the credits roll.

Y'all hush. My stories are on.
@jackiesteele · 437 likesMy kickstarter money is being used for EXACTLY what I hoped it would be used for — buying Crow wigs.
@cforsterichikawa5638 · 247 likesThe bots haven't aged a day!
@miketruman6030 · 194 likesI don't think I can ever been on a level of euphoria as high as this seeing Mike and the bots back at it again!
@Gusterson98 · 229 likesMy introduction to MST3K were the Mike Era on Sci-Fi Channel, when they were still re-running the Episodes in the early 2000s. So welcome back.
@AROBASPARK · 116 likesI was SO hoping the theater premiere would be _Sting of Death!_ Perfect! Also, fun to now know that Mike clearly spent his time back on Earth doing what he loved most: entry-level cheese handling on a farm in Wisconsin. 😅
@Blue_EmeraldX · 45 likesMy local theater was old and smelled like a musky basement. Then Regal came in and built a 20 million dollar theater. None of the other RiffTrax events played anywhere near me. FINALLY this one is going to play by me in a state-of-the-art super comfortable theater. Got my ticket.…
