Didn't see this classic on the list. It was a staple of the saturday afternoon TV monster movies when I was a kid:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958) - Trailer

Oh well, nevermind, didn't see the "load more" button...

Now I'm introducing the mister to mst3k, it's a bit embarrassing because I start laughing at familiar jokes before the punchline. So I try to sit on my laughter which inevitably leads to uncontrolled giggling. I'm glad I'm dating a patient man

Fabulous work, but needs more R.O.T.O.R.

ROTOR and Wild Zero are good, I think, have added. ROTOR's like discount bin Robocop, and Wild Zero is rather awesome.

BTW, roughly every other week we use the items on the playlist as warmup material for MST3K Club. I've been building some other lists for use as well, including a collection of weird Japanese (and Japan-inspired) stuff, which unfortunately isn't yet in YouTube format. Ah, we have fun.

If you enjoy mainlining exploitation trailers, I can't recommend the 42nd Street Forever DVDs highly enough.

Woah, how did SoulTaker manager to secure the rights to Eno's "In Dark Trees" for the trailer?

0rison, you mean you haven't considered making a playlist of your own? I mean, this one is just trailers, but those are the real deal.

(I mean, I could build it if you don't want to bother. I certainly ran into enough full-length Psychotronic movies that I had to discard in the name of keeping it just trailers.)

My favorite trailer: Space Mutiny

I wonder if any of the ten MST3K seasons consist entirely of movies with trailers.

Oh my god JHarris you have completely made my late night/early morning. This is golden. Here are some for your collection, Mr. Curator.

The Norseman (1978) - Starring Lee Majors as a Viking and racial insensitivity ahoy. Not quite radioactive, but it's worth it for Majors' amazing line read.
The Green Slime (1968) - Used for the unaired MST3K pilot; we get this trailer every year at the Boston Sci-Fi Marathon and the theme song never fails to entertain.

Also, John Waters tells you not to smoke in the theater.
