These 4 eps tend to run together in my memory.
They all are poorly lit experiments in the "protagonists stuck in danger" variety (sometimes they're stuck on an island, sometimes they're stuck in a madman's house, or both- as in Bloodlust). They all have failed attempts at a "horrific" element: a trophy room, a basement full of mutations, zombies and brain transfer, and dogs with carpet samples glued to their backs.
I know the Brains did worse films, but I can't think of any genre that sucks the life out of me more than these murky, dark, slow, and claustrophobic episodes. Thank you Rhino.
So in the spirit of that pain, please vote for your LEAST favorite of these eps.
These are all C level episodes for me. Not only because of the films, but the riffing isn't as memorable as other eps. I chose Atomic Brain as my least favorite of the 4, but only because I can only vote for one, and I remember really disliking it the last time I watched.

I haven't seen Bloodlust, but I like the other three. I really like Atomic Brain. ***** region. Probably the Dr. Strangelove riff.

I always get bored when watching Bloodlust.

The Atomic Brain for me. The movie is just so...something. It really does suck the desire to live out of me. Even some good riffing doesn't help me.
Bloodlust, on the other hand, is one I really like. It leaves me with no ill effects.

I gave the vote to Killer Shrews. But I happen to think that Unearthly and Atomic Brain are both great episodes. I find the old woman in Atomic Brain hilarious, and the acting in Unearthly keeps me coming back for more (nothing like letting fast talking stand in for emotion).
So I see your points, sampo, but I actually like the claustrophobic feel of these movies. It seems actually quite suited to MST for me...but then I've always said that I like the B&W eps better than color in general.

I love these kind of movies and the episodes as well...esp. when they include scantily clad women.
But I'd have to say Unearthly is my least favorite of the bunch. Maybe because it only features a scanitly clad Tor Johnson. But seriously, I don't remember laughing at that one much. Maybe when I see it a second time...
I'm not a big fan of Bride of the Monster either, but we're only talking about Rhinos, right?

I find The Unearthly and The Atomic Brain both rather slow, but combined with two of my least fav shorts Unearthly takes the prize.
But I haven't seen Killer Shews, so...

Damn, I voted wrong. I picked The Killer Shrews but that's my most favorite of the bunch. I need to pay more attention to the question. And now I'm bitter and jaded.

Eventhough its high rated, I´m not a fan of the Killer Shrews.

They all suck to me as well. Unearthly being the suckiest.

I actually loves them all except for Unearthly. The other 3 provide ample laughs.

They are all definitely hard to sit through. I went with Bloodlust as well, man that's a toughie! Matt

For the RECORD:
Atomic Brain: A (love this one) Bloodlust: B+ (solid ep, good laughs, I actually enjoy the movie) Killer Shrews: B+ (I think I rated this higher the first time I saw it, but it didn't hold up too much on a second viewing as most of the laughs come from the bad soundtrack riffs...that just isn't as funny on another go around. Still the Merrimac stuff at the end elevates this fine ep) Unearthly: C (I already posted about this)
