MST3K Marathon Returning This Thanksgiving

Courtesy: wiki

Because not all of us like to watch football after filling our bellies with turkey, we’re thankful that a Thanksgiving tradition is being resurrected this year. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, "Mystery Science Theater 3000" will be having a marathon on November 28, thanks to MST3K creator Joel Hodgson and Shout! Factory.

Starting at noon (EST) on Thanksgiving Day, you can head to MST3KTurkeyDay.com for six free hours of hilarity. Hodgson will be hosting and he’s currently taking requests on his Twitter for what episodes to show.

Hodgson states to Entertainment Weekly, “It’s really been interesting, and I really loved getting to go back and look at these shows, especially the Mike/Kevin/Bill episodes, which I’m not as familiar with. They’ve been extra funny because I don’t know any of the jokes. That’s been a really cool thing.”

So what are your requests for the marathon? Hodgson laments that there aren’t enough Thanksgiving-themed monster movies to riff. Perhaps he hasn’t seen “ThanksKilling?” Don’t forget to submit your requests and you can also head over to Shout! Factory for more details on this Turkey Day event.

The Night Shift: Twas the Day Before Thanksgiving

The Night Shift is the production diary of Fighting Owl Film's new independent supernatural-adventure-comedy of the same name currently in "post" in Mobile, AL. Over the course of the next several weeks and months, you'll get an insider's peek at what it's like for filmmakers to craft a new entry of paranormal pop culture from Erin Lilley, a producer and actress on the film.
 

Twas the day before Thanksgiving

Twas the day before Thanksgiving
and one thing was certain:
it appeared our apartment
was styled by Tim Burton.
I wasn't alone
baking holiday pies,
for Herbie looked on
with his unseeing eyes.

There were boxes of bobbles
for Christmasses merry
stacked next to tombstones
and costumes quite scary.

Our pre-lighted tree
in its carton lies still,
shrouded in robes
from a reaper most ill.

Posters and mailers
and press kits are stacked
like ramshackle gifts
that have yet to be wrapped

Yes, one thing I've learned
that should come as no shocker:
It's time to invest
in a new storage locker.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Fighting Owl Films!

We're still plugging away at this thing. In the meantime, you can follow The Night Shift at www.thenightshiftmovie.com. You can check out the poster, trailer, cast and crew, and some fun downloads.
