People apparently died of fright much more easily in the 50's. It's a wonder they could have surprise birthday parties without needing to assure free burial services.
I agree, this could've so easily been one of those episodes where the dreariness and extremely slow pace of the movie dragged the whole thing down. But the riffing by Mike and the bots is so strong and so constant that it makes it fly by like a breeze! And the short is one for the ages. The Screaming Skull isn't just one of the highlights of season 9, it's on par with the best of the entire series.
Crow: 'Then, a lion jumped out and shot her, at least that's what Eric said.' Mike: 'Remember, tonight's our monkey love night.' I'm crying over here! My stomach hurts so bad from laughing too hard! ROTFL
I remember watching this in the 70s in a backyard tent with a coat hanger antenna on a tiny t.v. Strung an extension cord from the house. Best times. I can still smell the mildew....... 😉
"The film that dares to graphically depict sometimes seeing peacocks and sometimes not seeing peacocks!" "It'll be night soon." "Oh, Jenny. Jenny..." "What? It'll be night soon!" Had to pause the video at both those parts.
8:19-8:28 Servo: "You they weren't really expecting anybody to watch this, everybody was supposed to be necking by this point. So...Mike? *kissy noises* Mike: "Get away from me. Get out of here" Servo: Might be fun! LOL!!
“Oh, that’s where Mickey keeps his gardening things.” “Who’s Mickey?” “The gardener.” (As previously implied.) (What does Mickey do?) The Union for Creepy Urine-Stained Gardeners will hear about this!
One wonders if this turkey, "The Screaming Skull" was the inspiration for the creators of Robot Chicken to yell "SKULL" at the end of the show. Who knows.
Mikey, you were one of the saving graces of this movie along with some of the stuff Mike and the guys had when it came to Robot Rumpus, like; Servo: They hung his head!! UGH!!! This is worse than Se7en!!
As I said a year ago, Mickey is the only saving grace next to Lisa in The Screaming Skull. I feel bad for Eric smacking him around simply becaus he despises him and Mickey knows he killed Marion and might kill Lisaas wll.
This movie follows in the tradition of other MST3K movies that depict people being haunted by a human head, a la "The Thing That Wouldn't Die," and "Tormented." Well maybe somewhat, since the main character is being haunted by a skull, and not a complete human head.
"Mrs. Gumby is stacked!"
I don't know why, but this cracked me up.
that joke squared my breasts!
People apparently died of fright much more easily in the 50's. It's a wonder they could have surprise birthday parties without needing to assure free burial services.
When someone in a parody of very old cheesy flicks utters a quote from Aristophanes' The Frogs, then you know you're in the right place.
My dad used the kentucky derby joke at my great grandma's funeral. People loved it.
Sorry for you loss.
This is one of MST3K's most underrated episodes.
I agree, this could've so easily been one of those episodes where the dreariness and extremely slow pace of the movie dragged the whole thing down.

One of my all time favorites.
A co-worker and I used to always quote from this.
This was the first episode I ever saw of MST3K and one if my favorites.
@@ManosApple This episode is in my top 10. I watched this so many times that I can close my eyes and rest while I listen to this.
“One of my classmates died in the kiln today MO-THER!”
''Thank goodness for the internal genitalia''
Crow: 'Then, a lion jumped out and shot her, at least that's what Eric said.'
Mike: 'Remember, tonight's our monkey love night.'
I'm crying over here! My stomach hurts so bad from laughing too hard! ROTFL
Lion: Your money or your life...
Crow's delivery on that line was hilarious 🤣
"And then a lion jumped out and shot her." gets me every time.
Nick Broderick
“Apparently it began to rain pretty hard.”
“And she got dead.”
"Someday she'll look back on this and worry about it..." 🤣
I'm gonna set you on "Don Knotts strength"!
"Alas, poor Yorick, she threw him well."
“Remember folks, if you die of boredom you do _not_ get a free coffin. Sorry.”
"They hung his head! This is worse than 'Seven!'"
Well that squares my breasts.
I remember watching this in the 70s in a backyard tent with a coat hanger antenna on a tiny t.v. Strung an extension cord from the house. Best times. I can still smell the mildew....... 😉
" Son I'll need a can of playdoe to replace my butt" *falls over in hysterical laughter* HOLY SHIT THAT STILL KILLS ME BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA X'D
"Get a box!" should have been included. One of the best from Crow in this episode.
That’s a line I think about a lot 😂
At 4:52 "Van Gogh's HOWDEE!!"
"The film that dares to graphically depict sometimes seeing peacocks and sometimes not seeing peacocks!"
"It'll be night soon."
"Oh, Jenny. Jenny..."
"What? It'll be night soon!"
Had to pause the video at both those parts.
8:19-8:28 Servo: "You they weren't really expecting anybody to watch this, everybody was supposed to be necking by this point. So...Mike? *kissy noises* Mike: "Get away from me. Get out of here" Servo: Might be fun! LOL!!
I near died at that part
so glad you included "and you forgot your baby!" it's my favorite line of the episode and it's not in the other best of vid. :)
"Can we help you Movie Lady? Do you need a push, or something?" 8:07
Poor Mickey "he's so fine he blows my mind, poor mickey"
CAN WE HELP YOU MOVIE LADY, DO YOU NEED A PUSH OR SOMETHING?!?!?! I DIED AT THAT PART
"everyone knows it's slinkskull"..wow... I laughed.
"I love you deceased wife....I mean Jenny"
They missed my favorite "I found a screaming pelvis if that's helpful".
"Thank you and goodnight"
"My name is not Eric ma'am"
It's Mickey, and he's wearing pants today! Gets me every time LOL
This is such a slept on but very funny episode. The riffs and segments are top notch.
Forgot two of my fave lines:
"More skulls arrive in a cab."
"He checks Mickey's villa in the south of France."
“Oh, that’s where Mickey keeps his gardening things.”
“Who’s Mickey?”
“The gardener.” (As previously implied.)
(What does Mickey do?)
The Union for Creepy Urine-Stained Gardeners will hear about this!
“PARTY!!” - A simple riff from Mike, but it worked!
It's probably wrong, but I love how traumatized Tom is when he sees the robot head hanging up on the garage!
It's not just you...
I still don’t understand why in the Gumby Universe, men walk around butt naked, but the women have to wear dresses 😂😂😂
“They put a tiny bit of movie in a box then filled the rest with foam peanuts”
''Thank goodness for the internal genitalia.''
Oh, why did I and my husband agree to sleep in different movies?
Man, he just scooped his stool right up and threw it at her! Baaaahahahaha
"Just beheading rats down here, honey!" 🤣
Aw, you left out "Davey and Goliath moved in next door. There goes the neighborhood."
The woman who comes to visit them--was she also in that MST3K short "Is this Love?"
The music at the beginning of Screaming Skull is the same as the beginning of The Shining.
Man, that joke at 7:56 can be a relevant reaction to certain current events.
Other favorites.
"Shh..." "People are trying to study!"
"Well HERE I am, how did I get here??"
I wasn't expecting a Gumby short before the Screaming Skull. What a treat!
I think the only thing missing is the skeleton hovering into the house towards Eric...vroooooom-vrOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM...
I have a model of that Mercedes on a shelf in my bedroom.
I want to join "Habitat Against Humanity".
WINDOWS 58.
That got me.😄
"Well I better go and rotate the hostages."
6:45 Peacocks!
“I’ll just tell everyone that tried to strangle myself on the side of the coffee table.” Lmao
"Can I interest you in some defenestration?"
I ask that of all my house guests...
chifferobe, now there's a word you don't hear often these days
It’s a major plot point in Oh, Brother, Where are thou?
"Then a lion jumped out and shot her, that's what he said..."
3:39 I don't know about her, she was always being talked to the cops on Dragnet.
One wonders if this turkey, "The Screaming Skull" was the inspiration for the creators of Robot Chicken to yell "SKULL" at the end of the show. Who knows.
One of the best episodes. Hudson and Webber are both good here and the riffs on an otherwise bleh film are dead on.
The leading lady in this noir-wannabe, Peggy Webber, was also in "The Space Children". Enjoy a double-feature!
Mickey's a wide awake nightmare!
The Union for Dangerous Urine-Stained Gardners will hear about this!
06:32 “...and I want you to sit on this candle.” 😂😂😂😂😂
I actually saw this film in a theatre. I wish MST3K had been around then. Anyway, as a kid it was a pretty good Saturday matinee flick.
When someone tries to imitate Hitchcock and fails miserably.
Also, Torgo's not pervy brother, Mickey.
They only got Webber to do it by telling her it was like “Rebecca.”
Mikey, you were one of the saving graces of this movie along with some of the stuff Mike and the guys had when it came to Robot Rumpus, like;
Servo: They hung his head!! UGH!!! This is worse than Se7en!!
The bots' reaction to the robot head on the garage is great.
As I said a year ago, Mickey is the only saving grace next to Lisa in The Screaming Skull. I feel bad for Eric smacking him around simply becaus he despises him and Mickey knows he killed Marion and might kill Lisaas wll.
Bryon Youngblood "Mickey makes his own ammonia to clean the greenhouse."
Who’s Lisa? The new wife (main character) is named Jenny.
@@markdaniels7174 Yeah, I goofed there.
"It may sound selfish" "but I want everything for me"
"Ah The film broke and it was horrible"
"But remember to return the robots when you're through with them."
"Sure, mother!"
"Don't you worry your squishy little head about it!"
Love that one
I'm gonna set you on don knotts strength
6:18 as heard on Cinemassacre's Monster Madness
"If it's Universal, doesn't that make it international?" Which I believe they use in The Movie for Universal International
The only way to die from watching this movie is to die laughing.
Aw. I loved Gumby as a kid!
Robot rump? Aww i thought it was going to be about robot rump
This movie follows in the tradition of other MST3K movies that depict people being haunted by a human head, a la "The Thing That Wouldn't Die," and "Tormented." Well maybe somewhat, since the main character is being haunted by a skull, and not a complete human head.
Fatima Jones also The Brain That Wouldn't Die, that one will make you feel dirty
Love your favorite moments videos!
'it was a rainy day'
"and he shot her"
kek
'it began to rain very hard'
"and then she got ded"
also kek
"and then a lion jumped out and shot her"
PARTY!
A ghostly skull? Be glad it's not a pelvis. 🤣
Aw, you missed the part where Mike acts like the skeleton is a vacuum.
@ 4:26 ...aaaand we have gold! The wife kinda looked like Annie Lennox btw
Peggy Webber was an accomplished television director, in addition to having a killer body. Nice Mercedes Benz in the opening shot.
Was thinking the same thing. A bit petite maybe but wow
...That's quite creepy for you to say.
Gotta move this body upstate
Mickey is like Torgo-lite...
Or a Torgo in training. He gets his big thighs when he graduates.
“What does Mickey dooooo?”
Ill give you something to scream about young skull!
One of my favorite MST3K episodes.
Mrs Gumby is stacked!
Aw, not the part where Mickey gets slapped like a stooge?
Everyone knows it's Slink-Skull.
Mickey, son of Torgo
Probably...
Gandalf is outside, scratching things on the door.
this is one of my favorite eps. :)
8:58
Is Mickey Targo's twin brother?
No, but they do share the same mother...🐑
Awww, where's "schplork, schplork, schplork, schplork, schplork,"? :-D
Mickey, Torgo and Ortega's more handsome cousin
SHHHHH Uncle lady is here....
Another MST3K movie taken down. So many are gone now.
Oh no!! That was my favey.
The best part was when Bobo dressed as a gorilla and everyone just stared at him.
good one
She was the Hot Mom in 'The Space Children'. haha
Party!!
"Can I gnaw off your flesh?" 💀
