I suppose Manos would be an easy answer. I think Zombie Nightmare has the worst sound. Maybe Canada hadn't discovered the boom mike until after the film was made. The movie has the same quality sound you would hear in your typical wedding video.

The Creeping Terror. Large portions of the soundtrack were lost during the film's development. Hence, the narration.

Large stretches of "Mixed Up Zombies" are almost unintelligible due to poor sound.

Creeping Terror is the one for me. I can barely stand to watch it due to the soundtrack.
Monster a Go-Go is another one that's really hard to hear with it's half-narration and half-bad boom mic.
Then there's Teenage Strangler, where the boom mic was turned up so high to pick up the actors, that all you hear is ambient hiss and piercing dialogue.

I'd say The Killer Shrews Joel and the bots had A very hard time trying to figure out what the characters were saying. Been thinking about throwing a signature together about their problem on this one.

For some reason, I always had trouble hearing some of the dialogue in Catalina Caper.

I thought Hellcats was awful the first time I saw it because I couldn't understand half of what was being said.
I later recognized that as being part of its charm. Also, it helps to watch Sidehackers first.

Touch Of Satan had bad miking as well. "So they mike stairs and feet in this movie but not people!"
And let's not forget the quite-overtly-dubbed Elaine in Horror At Party Beach. I don't know how you lose only one person's dialogue and have to loop it in really, really obviously later, but they managed it.

Mitchell is an important episode, but I wish the movie's sound quality was better, I can barely understand what Linda Evans is saying most of the time.
The Crawling Eye gets pretty scratchy around the middle.
And about Catalina Caper, I noticed that there's a portion during the final third of the film where the movie is louder than the riffs, but that would be a fault of MST's sound mixer, not the film.

I have noticed several older episodes where the movie soundtrack is very low in the mix compared to the riffers, and when you're trying to watch at night (quiet circumstances) it can be very jarring because to hear the movie you wind up blaring the riffers.
But that's not exactly the essence of this thread I suppose.

The sound in The Killer Shrews is just terrible. All I can hear is "mumblemumblemumble" and for the mad scientist it's "mumblemumblemumblewithgenericforeignaccent".

Large stretches of "Mixed Up Zombies" are almost unintelligible due to poor sound. Definitely! The sound was better once it was officially released, but still terrible. Only adds to the absolute creepiness of the flick.
