Movie Description
Two more favorite stinkbombs from the beloved sci-fi comedy show Mystery Science Theater; this special release features two titles, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "Manos - The Hands of Fate." The premise of the show was that a man trapped on a satellite was forced to watch the worst movies ever created in an evil experiment conducted by two mad scientists who wanted to take over the world. They planned to do so by finding a movie so bad that they could broadcast it worldwide and thus weaken the Earth's defenses.


"Santa Claus" is a product of the Cold War imagination, a Christmas special where some Martian parents plot to kidnap Santa so their children can experience the holidays just like any Earthling child. As an added bonus, one of the Martian halflings is played by a young Pia Zadora in her first role. "Manos" tells the story of a family lost in the desert who come to stay with a mysterious man named Torgo, who seems agitated and continually mutters about "the master."

    I decided to buy this 3 DVD set because I'm a huge fan of Joel, Mike, and the 'bots. The two films in the set "Manos:Hands of Fate" and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" are truly awful fims and Joel and Company do a fine job of ripping them to shreds. These are two outstanding episodes, and I think they really are essential to any MST3K collection. The set comes with a third DVD that has 7 classic shorts. This extra perk adds plenty of fun to an already hilarious set of 2 DVDs (one for each movie). The "Manos" DVD also comes with a blooper reel. The only downside is that the DVDs do not feature the movies by themselves without the witty comments of Joel and the 'bots, so you can't give your own MST treatment to the movies (although Joel and friends do such a good job that you really won't have to). Overall, this is an outstanding set, and I highly recommend it. 5 of 5 stars!
