Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E04 Zombie Nightmare
Featured work: Zombie Nightmare
Aboard the Satellite of Love, Mike and the Bots have fun with voodoo, hot tubs, and the Adam West version of Batman.
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation contains the following tropes:
- Affectionate Parody: The ill-fated Batman play.
- Brother-Sister Incest
Waitress: I'm old enough to be your big sister. |
- Canada, Eh?: Several, several times...
Servo: You're right Mike, this is either America ten years ago, or Canada today. |
- Did Not Do the Research: The Mads are into voodoo which they claim is a safe economic way to inflict evil on the world... Which actually has a strong emphasis on helping others. Although possibly justified because this is Dr. Forrester and Frank we're talking about.
- There's a trope for that.
- M&TB used the Deep 13 Voodoo kit for some good. Giving a back rub, combing a guys hair, and giving Jimmy Carter a hug.
- Dragged Off to Hell: Churchman's decent is commented on by the bots:
Crow: (thoroughly impressed) WOW! So Hell's right there! |
- Old Shame: Triumphantly averted by Adam West (perhaps one of his earliest Adam Westing moments) in which he introduced Zombie Nightmare for its Mystery Science Theater 3000 debut during Turkey Day.
- Rape as Drama: The abuse heaped on the victim by the police is commented on.
Frank: "But you went into the alley with him." |
- Running Gag: Adam West is upset that he didn't get a cameo in the 1989 Batman movie.
Voodoo chanting followed by a scream of Unstoppable Rage!
