MST3K Expierment 613: The Sinister Urge (1960)


Ed Wood, famous for being one of the worst directors of all time has given us such great films as Glen or Glenda, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Bride of the Monster. One of my favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes is where they had the opportunity to rip into The Sinister Urge, a film about a series of killings of young female actresses and police suspect it has something to do with the smut pictures that have been going around in the area. This movie is fucking horrible, its as simple as that, its not good at all. From the horrible editing to the real shitty acting and KLINE!!!! but its an Ed Wood film and i had Mike Nelson, Crow T Robot and Tom Servo along side riffing on the movie which made it that much better. From great lines like "That was a good crap!". They destroy this movie and have every right to, this episode also included a great host segment of Frank who went to see Hollywood actions movies like Speed and decided to blow up Dr. Forester. But gets foiled because of his love for Potatoe Pies. This episode also featured the short "Keeping Clean and Neat" which was had the most of Obsessive Compulsive kid ever in it. Its kinda fucked up to think that this is how strict we taught our children back then. Im sure it created some decent morals and a good foundation but DAMN!
