Mystery Science Theater 3000 Brings Out A Singles Collection On May 22

Disc Announcements, News

While the last boxset of Mystery Science Theater 3000 came out last year, there’s a new collection arriving. There were quite a few titles that were released only as single DVDs. They were boxset-less. But now they’re getting a boxset to call their own. Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Singles Collection brings together five episodes and the third shorts collection. This is great news if you’re aching for Santa Claus Conquers The Martians for your Christmas in July celebration. There’s even a few bonus features including the old wraps from when a few ran as part of the MST3K Hour. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:
