How has nobody else commented on this episode! Might well be the best MST3k ep of all time. Mister you keep those hands of fate at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock.

This was the movie Frank Zappa was describing in the song "Cheepnis" on Roxy and Elsewhere about his love of cheesy movies. Talking about the monster looking like an inverted ice cream cone lol

So, did the four year old girl /artist, Shannon, actually give Crow the name Art, that Pearl uses a couple times ?

This could be my most favorite episode of MST3K. With all respect to Space Mutiny. The gags are good, the movie appropriately ridiculous. And I love the opening skit. Some of the original movies MST3K uses are pretentious or insulting. This one is just goofy.

The end of MST3K *sobs* Wait....we still have Rifftrax!

Spoiler alert, the monster was created by a seaman treating his athletes foot !! 🐓💨

The Phantom of Krankor and his minions seem to be modern versions of tengu, legendary creatures that are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics. The earliest tengu were pictured with beaks. This would also explain Phantom's feathery cape and accoutrements and his "roast chicken" spaceship. Buddhism held that the tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war. It all fits, doesn't it?
