"What's your favorite RiffTrax", is a question I'm asked more than any other (aside from, "It's been three weeks of you coming here to nap and you're scaring away our customers: could you either buy a futon or get out?").
Well, it's not an easy choice so I pored through our catalog and hand-picked some of the titles that especially amused -- or possibly vexed me -- in some way that made them stand out.
As my gift to you, we're taking 25% off all of them through Thursday, September 21st at Midnight PDT. Check 'em out!

The very first of his shorts, this is Norman's origin story, the tale of how he got his (negative) powers. If you guessed it involves stepping into a radioactive toilet, you're one hundred percent right (except it's not a radioactive toilet, it's just a regular, horrible toilet. Just like Norman.)
It's meant to scare kids away from playing on construction sites but from everything I see it looks like it beats anything else, including getting an education!
Leslie "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" Nielsen goes mad and starts insulting people by calling them "Hot Shot." Also, animals go on a killing spree.
One of the best times we have ever had riffing, especially once we looked closely at it and noticed that Scarecrow is carrying a gun into the Haunted Forest!
What could have been just another horror / slasher film is elevated by a plot that involves attractive young women in bikinis being stalked by a knife-wielding mad man at a lake resort. As a bonus, there's an eleven minute scene of a woman adjusting the temperature on her hot tub.
If the hilariously realistic old-timey kid fights in this short are anything to judge on, the answer is NEVER. I'm begging you, grown ups, never, please!
When the main character in this movie gives his soul over so casually to the devil you can't help but think, "Man, people were way cooler back in the 60s." The basement dwelling devil cult in this film is by far the best and most accommodating group of devil worshipers you'll ever have the pleasure to meet.
The title doesn't really sizzle it: Maria the goose is in love with the guy and the guy is absolutely okay with that.
Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a Russian (they had to keep prying the waffles out of his hand and replacing them with bowls of borscht). The ghost of Bruce Lee plays himself. And 80s training montages star in this film about 80s training montages.
