Just this guy. I dig MST3K, film, retro games, Muppets, Iron Chef, hosted movie shows, birdwatching, horror/sci-fi, pro wrestling, oldies/jazz music, coffee mugs, tacky aloha shirts, etc. Howdy! av: MST3K's Crow in tux banner: Keep circulating the tapes

The Bayformers films as cult? Oh, no. Oh, no no no no no. *No.* No! That's like calling Old Navy niche. That just simply isn't done. Things is a cult movie. Delicatessen is a cult movie. Freaked is a cult movie. The Transformers franchise is about as cult as a can of Coca-Cola at Disney World.

I'm 43. I was on this Earth for the first WrestleMania. Minus a few years in the wilderness of only following on social media, I have watched weekly pro wrestling my entire life. I do not remember wrestling *not* being a part of my life. AEW is the greatest 7 year run of pro wrestling TV, ever. 🤼‍♂️

How I arrived on Bluesky
The intro sequence from the fifth and sixth seasons of MST3K, where Dr. Forrester hits Mike on the head with a comically large mallet as Frank smiles evilly.

And if we're to take the idea of Halloween episodes into any televised avenue, then I have to give a nod to the Halloween episode of AEW Dynamite where Hangman Adam Page played Tony Schiavone playing the Phantom of the Opera to get the jump on Samoa Joe and the Opps. I. Freaking. *Cackled.*
Pro wrestler Hangman Adam Page holding a bottle and a microphone while wearing a Halloween costume of pro wrestling commentator/announcer Tony Schiavone as the half-mask-wearing Phantom of the Opera in a Halloween episode of AEW Dynamite.

Here, Page is getting ready to launch a sneak attack on Samoa Joe.

Because MST3K is my go-to answer for, like, a lot, so I thought I'd change things up a little. I love the episode, but I'd like to go for a little bit of variety! And Bob's Burgers has AMAZING Halloween episodes, too!

Zeke the Plumber from the Salute Your Shorts episode bearing the character's name.

Zeke has messy gray hair and mustache, a work hat, and a bandage across his nose. His face is covered by human mask with creepy sunken eye holes.

If we're ruling out MST3K's Halloween-fueled take on 1961's The Mask in Season 13, I'd probably go with Quantum Leap's "The Boogieman," where Sam leaps into a horror novelist in 1964. The episode revolves around Sam giving ideas to a young Stephen King, but the REAL draw here? Two words: EVIL AL

It was absolutely pressure from NBC. Ratings were flagging, and they operated off the logic that if the show kept doing the same old thing, then that's why the ratings stunk, so the elegant solution was *change the formula.* Which worked, except for the part where it worked.

optiMSTie @optimstie.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
That'd make sense. They had an episode that was an entire reference to that series, "The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair," complete with David McCallum!
