    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    Agreed about her style of comedy. A lot of it is pretty corny. She has a pretty bad hit/miss ratio compared to MST3k machine gun approach of constant jokes.
    Or it could just be a generational thing of me being raised on a much more absurdist and referential style of comedy than one based on word play and innuendo. MST3k is definitely more the former than the later.
    Anyhow EHOH is probably the closest we’re getting to a MST3k pin. I like how the movies are the real star of pin and some are very well integrated.
    Maybe someone could make the ultimate re-mix to include one liners from Crow and Tom Servo and video bits from the show.
    And just to say EHOH has its funny and campy charm. The end trailer sequence is some S-tier work by Lyman

    You know what that's the 1/3 of the Elvira pins I've yet to play. Good call tho I'll be on the lookout for it. Might at least scratch the itch.

    Saw this today and it looks awesome

    Evidently just a reskinned version of Polar Explorer, but pretty well done. Just makes me want that much more for it to be picked up by Spooky or anyone really. Hopefully with this new format they're trying for the new season it'll gain some more traction and create some appetite for an official pin to happen

    As much as I've loved MST3K since the beginning(I was even a member of their Info Club), it'd be difficult to do a pin that includes favorites from them that'll appeal to the most people. My favorites may not be yours and vice versa for lots of people. Their repertoire is so vast, it'd be hard to nail down something that's a home run for all. Plus, I'd only want one if it was Joel, Kevin, and Trace doing the callouts. Not to say that Jonah and the newbies aren't doing a fantastic job, but that's who I'd want. I don't know all the details about their relationships currently to know if this is possible or not, too.

    The soundtrack can just be yanni keyboards

    Also needs this ambient noise as attract mode just running all the time

    Honestly just the idea of the ending theme playing during attract or when a game ends is enough to justify the project for me. I totally see your point about the vast catalog being a challenge, but it's also a strength. So much material to pull assets off of would allow for callouts and modes from the entire spectrum of MST characters and movies. No reason it needs to be either Manos or Soultaker or Mac & Me. It should be all. The more the merrier
