A bad movie made great by MST3K

The Crawling Hand has a lot of laughs by just being bad, but Joel and the bots make this movie a riff fest! The movie rolls along well with very few lulls in the laughs. There are a few known actors in it, including Alan Hale (The Skipper on Gilligan's Island) and Peter Breck (Nick Barkley on The Big Valley). The host segments weren't great but not horrible either. It's a solid 8 and a very solid MST3K.

Trivia
The fish puns in this episode are the same ones used in the song "Wet Dream" by Kip Addotta. To be fair though, the song pretty much uses every fish pun ever conceived in the English language.
