If you're like me, you watch a ton of baseball. And if you watch a ton of baseball, you know that sometimes the game is held up by rainy weather. You think "Oh, dear, how am I going to survive another rain-delayed and/or rained out ballgame?" Why, MST3K, of course! Which are your favorite rainy day episodes?

Hobgoblins, Mitchell, Horror's of Spider Island, Outlaw, and maybe Horrors at Party Beach.

Well, I don't normally confine myself to baseball telecast rain delays, but...
My go-to episodes for gloomy, rainy days are usually Tormented, Slime People, High School Big Shot or Red Zone Cuba. While there's no actual rainy scenes in any of them, they're suitably "dark" and gloomy, especially Tormented.

I would have to go with any of the Godzilla, gamera, or Fugitive alien movies. Really, anything that gives me a good laugh.
The Sci Fi season is good for that too. Mostly because I was watching that on rainy Saturday mornings that I couldn't be outside when I was younger.

Sports don't dictate my rainy day viewing...
but I am like you in that I watch MST3K!
Typically I'll watch Mitchell, The Final Sacrifice, Quest of the Delta Knights, Giant Spider Invasion, Time Chasers, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Merlin's Shop, or Squirm.
I like the episodes where I really enjoy the movie, especially the iconic cheesy characters (Mitchell, Troy, Rowsdower, T, Leonardo, Merlin, Mick, countless rednecks), and the riffs are solid. Typically I don't go for the truly awful movies on a rainy day.

The Crawling Eye is the best rainy day episode for me. As Flugen mentioned, Tormented also fits the feel of a drizzly day very nicely.

Heh, this just happened yesterday! We had a cloudburst, so I grabbed The Head That Wouldn't Die and popped it in, followed by Giant Mantis.
Tormented sounds like a good one too. All that noir and bad decision making!
Sandy has grown up a lot this week.

The Giant Mantis, Time of The Apes, Santa Claus, The Beast of Yucca Flats, The Fugitive Alien Movies, The Mole People, The Slime People, Robot Monstor, Robot Holocaust, It Lives By Night, and Radar Secret Service tend to be my faves for any inclement weather.

Jack Frost or Time Chasers have always been my favorite rainy day episodes.

The Crawling Eye is the best rainy day episode for me. As Flugen mentioned, Tormented also fits the feel of a drizzly day very nicely. Along with the ones I mentioned above, there's quite a few other "gray" episodes -- "gray" both visually and in the overall tone of the movie -- that work well on a gray, dreary, rainy day. For instance, I'm watching The Rebel Set right now, on a cold, drippy gray November day here in DC, and it works really well as the whole feel of that flick is heavy and gray. Come to think of it, Teenage Crime Wave and Monster A Go-Go are a couple of other nice "gray" flicks. The outdoor location shots in Monster A Go-Go are especially gray and bleak; as Servo (I think it was) comments, "I like that they shot this at such a nice time of the year". |
