MST3K 817: The Horror of Party Beach

Getting to the "final five" episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 I still have to rewatch and comment on, I'm closing out the eighth season (and the whole "Sci-Fi Channel era") with "The Horror of Party Beach." ("Ah, the only real horror at Party Beach is Cindy's cheese dip.") When it began to really register on me how few episodes I had left to watch the first time, I managed to save one from the eighth season to be the very last. I'm not doing that this time around, but that's not to disparage this episode.
( 'Original soundtrack not available. You'll thank us.' )

( 'I'm in my constricting skirt and high heels so I should be perfect monster bait!' )

( 'The Day the Mudskippers Fought Back.' )

( 'The director bravely mixes tedium with unscariness.' )
