Gunslinger - When the marshal of Oracle, Texas is killed by a hired gunman, his quick-shooting widow, Rose (Beverly Garland), straps on his gun and star, puts on some pants and aims to find out who did the hiring. Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot take on the Roger Corman gang. It's going to be a bloodbath of laughter as the riffs start flying and justice is finally done to this 1956 low-budget Western.
Hamlet - It's the old "boy meets ghost of dead father, boy loses hot mother to dead father's rival, boy drives girlfriend to suicide and then everyone dies" story. But, as presented in a 1961 German TV movie starring Maximilian Schell, this one takes tragedy to a whole new level. Join Mike, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot for a little Satellite-Upon-Avon and watch the slings and arrows fly. To riff or not to riff? Is it even a question?
This past February, Shout! Factory
made available DVDs of
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Beginning of the End (episode #517) and
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (episode #812), re-releases of episodes Rhino Home Video had previously put out and discontinued quite some time ago. These single-episode discs were each
sold exclusively from the studio's Shout! Select online store. Now the folks at the Factory are preparing to put out another pair of Rhino-era
MST3K episodes!
The Shout! Select website is now accepting pre-orders for both
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Gunslinger (episode #511) and
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Hamlet (episode #1009). Both will be available starting
June 21st, and costs $19.99 each (plus shipping and handling). The first one was previously available as part of Rhino's "
Volume 6" multi-disc set, and the second had been included in Rhino's "
Volume 4" package. Both of those have out-of-print for some time, but now Shout! will make these two episodes available again as individual items.
OR you can get both
Gunslinger AND
Hamlet together in a bundle, for $39.98...yeah, it doesn't seem like a bargain offhand, but it actually is. With the team-up deal you get free ground shipping, and a free
MST3K stress ball. OR, if you didn't get the two above-mentioned February titles, then you can get
all four at once for $69.96 (that's $10 off!), plus the free stress ball and free ground shipping. These 2-packs and 4-packs will also be available starting
June 21st. Here's a picture of the two new packages:
