Less than a week ago we broke the
news that more
Mystery Science Theater 3000 was on its way to DVD in March. Now the always-reliable
"Satellite News" website has more details. The information was written up on their website, and also included in a note they sent around to members of the "This Date in MSTory" e-mail group. Here is the full text:
We have more information about Volume 5 of Rhino Home Video's "Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection" series. The release date is March 9th. It will feature episodes 821- TIME CHASERS, 908- THE TOUCH OF SATAN, 1003- MERLIN'S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS and 1006- BOGGY CREEK II.
Special features on the set will include introductions by Mike Nelson (similar to those in last set, but Mike tells us they will be somewhat longer), full-length interviews with Mike & Kevin Murphy, and the original trailer for "The Touch Of Satan."
Before you ask: Based on our conversations with our source at Rhino we don't think the contents of this list should be read as an indication that it's only Sci-Fi Channel episodes from this point on. Our source asked us which episodes fans would like to see next, and we referred him to the poll we conducted a couple of years ago, the result of which are posted here.
Our thanks to Rich Kirkpatrick, Will Frazier, and Scott Armstrong for writing to tip us off about this. So far we expect an SRP similar to the previous four collections, which was $59.95 on each. Again, that date is March 9.
