In the not too distant future, a 20th anniversary MST3K set will be released

Fa la la!

We told you last month about the new 20th anniversary DVD set for Mystery Science Theater 3000 that is going to be released later this year. The gang announced the details and the release date for the set yesterday at Comic-Con.

The 4 DVD set from Shout! Factory will be released on October 28 and will include four never-before-released movies: Laserblast, First Space on Venus, Werewolf, and Future War. Along with the movies will be tons of new interviews with everyone ever involved in the show, a documentary about the history of MST3K, footage of the Comic-Con Reunion panel, lobby cards, and even a collectible Crow T. Robot figurine! The set will come in a special 20th anniversary tin box (see pic above).

The four movies in the set have never been available on DVD before. Shout! Factory is going to release a bunch of box sets for the show and this is the first one.

The set will be out on October 28th, and I know it's going to be under the trees of a lot of MST3K fans. I know it will be under mine, even if I have to put it there myself.
