Book your return flight to the Satellite of Love and join Joel, Mike and the 'bots for another fearful foursome of flops in this collection of episodes from the Peabody Award-winning series Mystery Science Theater 3000. First up on Volume 11's menu of muck is Season Two's Ring of Terror, with Joel, Crow and Tom Servo riffing furiously on a half-baked story of fraternity pranks gone wrong; it's partnered with another interminable episode of the Bela Lugosi serial The Phantom Creeps. Next is Season Four's The Indestructible Man, in which Joel performs a frightening imitation of the movie's star, Lon Chaney Jr.; an episode of The Undersea Kingdom is also celebrated with a parade that goes predictably awry. Season Four's Tormented features headless ghosts, a guilt-ridden Richard Carlson, and Joel stuck in a ventilation shaft, plus a day-rescuing round of happy thoughts. And last but not least is Season Ten's Horrors of Spider Island, a German-made monster movie about dancers on a deserted island and a giant spider than transforms their manager into a hideous creature; Mike also undergoes a man-to-spider switcheroo after getting trapped in the 'bots' homemade spider web. For veteran MiSTies and pop culture fanatics, it doesn't get funnier than this.
Extras include theatrical trailers for all of the films save Ring of Terror; a brief interview with Tormented director Bert I. Gordon, his daughter Susan, and star Joseph Turkel, and wrap-arounds from the syndicated Mystery Science Hour, with Mike Nelson as an obsequious Jack Perkins, are also included. However, the best supplement is the second MST3K Jukebox, which compiles some of the show's funniest and most memorable musical numbers, including 'Sidehackin','Joel and the 'bots' garage-rock tribute to The Sidehackers and the incredible 'Patrick Swayze Christmas' from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - MST3K is love!
I've been a mystery science theater fan since I was a small child, and have loved both hosts Joel and Mike. I must say that these are all great episodes, three of them featuring the original host Joel Hodgson and one featuring the second host Mike Nelson. I strongly recommend this dvd set if you are a Joel fan. Mike fans also get a great episode, it is, however, just one episode. EVERY episode will having rolling on the floor with laughter, I guarantee it! The bonus feature "Video Jukebox" is also very entertaining. This feature allows you to watch various "music videos" from different seasons of MST3K, each one of them as funny as the next.
Rating:  - Volume 11: OK
I don't have a lot of Mystery Science theater experience, but I've seen the official movie, and volumes 12 and 4, and i have to say that these 4 cannot touch those. This volume features joel instead of mike, I guess because its episodes are chronologically earlier, but i just didn't find them as funny as the ones ive seen with mike.
Rating: - "There's Absolutely Nothing To Be Worried About!"
Any "Mystery Science Theater 3000" offering is worth watching and re-watching, and although this is not my favorite set, it contains lots of great onscreen moments plus a few entertaining extras. This set exclusively contains creepy older black and white horror offerings, most from the early 1960's.
"Ring of Terror" is a short production about a group of geriatric medical school students and their girlfriends being haunted in what is perhaps the least scary manner ever filmed. Watch especially for the horrifying autopsy scene that is subsequently hilariously parodied. This episode is paired with another of the interminable episodes of "The Phantom Creeps" with Bela Lugosi.
"Indestructible Man" stars Lon Chaney as "The Butcher", a convicted killer whose execution is not entirely successful: it's a given that the plot revolves around him seeking vengeance on those who put him in jail. While not one of Chaney's better roles (by a long shot), this is probably the most genuinely creepy of these four films due in no small part to Chaney's crazed eyes. This episode is paired with an episode of "Undersea Kingdom", perhaps one of the most boring serials ever made.
"Tormented" describes the audience's reaction to this film of the same name. It's about a pianist who doesn't save his old flame from a fall off a lighthouse, and subsequently engages in face-saving cover up operations while planning his wedding, to no avail. This one is not only ludicrous, but exceptionally ... Read More
Rating: - Another Great MST3K
I have them all and will continue to grow the collection as they are released. I wish they could come back to Sci-fi and do new shows with some of the awful films of today, it would be a hoot!
Rating:  - Slight technical glitch
A good collection of episodes- Tormented, especially, is one I was eager to see, but there was a fault in one track of the Horrors of Spider Island.
