Bake Your Own Turkey Weekend 2007
Jump to the list of filmsHere at Inventing Situations, we've tried to carry on the tradition of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day marathons by staging our own. For the whole week of Thanksgiving we'll once again be offering msties a chance to join together and make their own captions for stills from as many of the films used on MST3K as we can get access and rights to use.
Since we don't have the money to get rights to anything, we'll just offer up the raw unmstied versions of as many of the public domain [1] films we can get our hands on. As usual, we'll have a number of films that are NEW to Inventing Situations this year. I'll be announcing the titles in the weeks to come - watch this space and the Turkey Day category over at our blog for more info. Just like last year, you'll also be able to create your own "comedy" stories with stills from some of these films at our sister site Wasting Precious Time. We'll be adding a new film for you to work with each Sunday night in November.
New for 2007!
Gamera
Ring of Terror
Manhunt in Space
High School Big Shot
plus a couple of surprises
New grabs for 2007!
Giant Gila Monster
First Spaceship on Venus
Master Ninja I
