mst3k - The Horror of Party Beach (1964) Discussion

[–] saffym 19 years ago

This is probably my all time favorite MST3K episode. I spend the entire first half hour of the movie just laughing my head off at one brilliant joke after another. Best one ever, IMO.

This is one of my favorite cult films PERIOD - I laugh my head off watching the non-MST3K version. I rank this film and Robot Monster (1953) above Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space.

However, I couldn't rank this the top MST3K episode. Manos: The Hands Of Fate probably is the best MST3K episode ever:

1. Manos has gained the biggest cult following - 60% of MST3K fans think Manos ranks top, by one estimate.

2. Horror Of Party Beach is a scream - in ANY version. But the Manos cult would be inconceivable without MST3K - no humor whatsoever. It would be almost literally torture watching Manos that way !

I think Manos is, almost unarguably, the worst film MST3K has viewed (though Red Zone Cuba is close competition). I think much of that episodes popularity is rooted in awe at how profoundly bad the movie is. I feel that Horror is a much funnier episode, however, and I'd easily rank it as the series' high point.

Completely subjective, however. I've watched the Horror episode literally dozens of times, and incorporated many of its lines (both from the movie itself and Mike and the Bots' quips) into my everyday conversation, so it holds a dear place in my heart.

This episode did indeed have some brilliant lines

(Singing) "My skull!" (and later)
"And all the flesh slipped off my skull....."

"Roast in hell, Dad"

(Singing) "Never touched a woman, we make the saints cry"

Singer says: Love me forever...
Mike adds: "Or I'll kill you"

"Resusa-Annie on her way to her next demonstration"

While maid is vacuuming: "Look at all the toenails, toenails everywhere!"

I love Crow's line while Hank dances with Elaine, he has a blank look on his face: "I am comprised of a series of ones and zeroes"

I should probably post the entire transcript from that episode since this is one the rare movies where every line is hillarious. Instead i'll just post my favorites.

Servo mocking guy who looks very johhny mathis-esque: Chances are that i'll kick your scrawny ass.

Crow: Sodium! Get your sodium!

Hank:(who for some reason has a southern accent when talking to eullabelle)Hello, Eullabelle!
Crow: Just rode from Richmond.

Hank: Hello, Eullabelle!
Crow: Any word from the northern war aggression, eullabelle?

Hank: Helle, Eullabelle!
Mike: I just arrived on a riverboat.

Elaine: They are the living dead!
Crow: living DUBBED.

Crow: She is so Dubbed!

Crow: Why am i dubbed?

I also like Mike's line when two drunks cheerful drunk laughter turns into dubbed Satanic laughter: 'Ahh! Who's screaming, were are the demons!?'

Another favorite Mike riff is when two girls are talking at the same time to each other making the conversation immpossbile to follow. They are suddenly startled by something in the nearby bushes :'Well, anyway [starts speaking gibberish].

Crow: Hey Buddy, you spill my drink!!?

Also Elaine's injured crying and ''moaning'' that Servo riffs.

Do you have a copy of this mst3K episode? I am still kicking myself for not taping the one time I saw it. I had no idea this movie would be so funny and I haven't been able to find a copy of it anywhere.

Thanks,
Cheri

I've seen it on the internet for sale. Also, try Suncoast Video. I have seen a lot of MST3000 movies there. Or perhaps Best Buy.

You can download this episode for FREE from the Digital Archive Project.
I've got almost all the MST3K eposides that way. The only ones not available for free from DAR are the ones Rhino Video markets professionally (Manos, etc.)

My favorite quotes are "I'll just smell your forehead good-bye" and (when the doorbell rings) "Oh, I'm black, I'll get it"

[–] seminoles8424 18 years ago

The best riffs are in the first 30 mins

"Here i'll throw a gay man at you!"

In a johnny mathis singing voice, "Chances are i'll kick your scrawny ass!"

" Get your hot dogs here!"

"When the monster wakes up he turns on his all-metal cd"

"Oh more liquor she needed less inhibitions"

"A bike gang led by Depak Chopra"

"I THINK SHE LIKES US!"

reply

[–] craigarawlinson 18 years ago

I am glad I taped this one when it was on Sci-fi originaly. I like when Tina is swimming out to the rocks and Crow says "Say what you want about her at least she is not doing the Zombie Stomp."

[–] jrware 18 years ago

Does anyone know what "Albert Vitti Permittee" means? And why is there a sign that says "Look Polish" ?

reply

[–] Otkon 10 years ago

After the "Look Polish" sign but before the monster loses his arm trying to steal that jaunty 60's sun-dress, he passes a shoe repair place. Hence the polish. No idea about Albert Vitti. He sounds Italian not Polish.

I watch this episode 3 times a week it's soooooo funny!

I have the episode on DVD and love reading the comments on YouTube's copy of it. I can't stop laughing!

"It's Steve Allen, Don't get in!"

When the monster's at the window looking at the mannequin:

"Linda?" "Oh, if only I wore a size 6!" "I can't see the price! Where's the price?"

Even now, I'm watching this scene! LMAO!

I love this episode of MST3K! Especially the scenes with the maid:

"Haha! Oh, you non-caucasians!"

"Oh, I'm BLACK, I'll get it."

I also loved the little sketch with Mike and the robots, when Mike put on the extremely tiny bathing suit and Tom Servo and Crow wouldn't stop screaming, "You're so NUDE!" Then Mike was all, "Do you think it's the dance?" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!

I also love the beach party bit, when the girl was taking her top off:

"Oh, the...the button's stuck...I can't...It's stuck!" The timing was so perfect! And when they were at that dance later on, and the girl was all, "Are we dead?"

[–] MILK-HANDS 18 years ago

"Hang on, let me toss a gay man at you"
"This is not in keeping with the spirit of Pride Week"
"shh! She's dead!"
"My skull!"
"Sniper"

+my all time favourite line (during the middle of the Zombie Stomp, the beach party gestures to the sky) Mike: "All hail to Ra, the Sun God!"
+the immortal impression that Servo does of Elaine's moans at the end.
