What do you get when you fall from grace, you only get cast into perdition .... Clu Galuger wasn't in it but he should have been. And the power of Beez surpassed even that of Satan himself!

As much as I love the 80's teen vibe of Hobgoblins, The Touch of Satan has some seriously strong quips and jokes and that damn opening song is so good,

Honestly, I don't like either of these, but I'll take tortuously slow dialogue over derivative puppets (the hobgoblins, not the bots).

I love both, but Hobgoblins is one of the episodes I show to people to show them how good MST3k is. It helps that the movie itself is genuinely entertaining on its own, because of how bad it is.

This is the toughest one yet! I love both episodes, but I have to go with Hobgoblins. The rake scene, the Hobgoblins song, Club Scum, the old man. It has it all. My apologies to where the fish lives.

Love Prince of Space, but 505 is peak MST3K. Old-school style riff to be sure, but the warmth of the early years is in full bloom on this one with A+ sketches and even an in-theater stunt. Also, weird movie.
