Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S08/E09 I Was a Teenage Werewolf

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Film watched: I Was a Teenage Werewolf

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation provides examples of:

Tom Servo: "This is for your bed-wetting movie!"

  • I Call It Vera: Tom has a neutron machine pistol called "Lucille". He also has a tiny problem with trigger discipline.
  • Public Domain Soundtrack: Observer seems to be playing a very slow rendition of Amazing Grace on his harmonica in the background of the first camping scene.
  • Running Gag:
    • Tony's Dairy-Throwing Antics.
    • Various riffs about Tony being a werewolf/dog, before the transformation.
    • Not a running gag in the episode itself, but Servo makes the quip: 'You get a lot of dirt with werewolf, you get out of clean with Tide.' It would later be used in Season 9 in the next werewolf movie...err...Werewolf
  • Whole-Plot Reference: The host segments all parody the movie Alien.
  • X Days Since...: Ten days since last teen pregnancy.

"People bug me, too!"
