MST3K 912: The Screaming Skull

Moving to the ninth season of Mystery Science Theater 3000, I've returned to "The Screaming Skull." It happened to be the last episode of the series re-run on the "Sci-Fi Channel," some years after the production itself was cancelled, and having heard about that ahead of time I managed to synchronise my first viewing of the episode with its last cable airing. It's also distinguished in a small way by a happier note than that, though, which is that it includes one of the handful of shorts shown during that era of the show.
( 'One of my classmates died in the kiln today, mother!' )

( 'Flat drab passion meanders across the screen!' )

( 'The first year of marriage is always the most psychotic.' )
