With a name like "Hobgoblins" you'd think the movie might be a lame Gremlins knock-off. Well, you'd be wrong. Hobgoblins does not even rise to the level of Gremlins. In fact, it hardly even rises to the level of "a film." As such, it made perfect fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000. In fact, it was one the episodes I remembered best from its days on tv. It was also pretty fun to draw because, unlike many other MST3K episodes, the main cast were actually pretty disctintive. Still dumb, but visually distinctive...

And speaking of drawing, why did I draw our hero holding a starter pistol and a garden hoe? Because durring one extended sequence, he and his army buddie engaged in a brutal garden-impliment-duel for the amusement of their friends! It was a very lame scene, but it produced some very inspired riffs:

"Choose your garden weasels!"
"Full contact mulching, I guess..."
"Yeah, give him a big, rusty gash in his head, come on!"
"So we sent our armies to the Gulf War with garden shovels and grass mowers?"
"Y'know, I'd switch to the weed wacker at this point."
"Throw some Miracle Grow in his eyes!"
"I'm gunna compost you, man..."
"I'll bet that Nick can also field-strip his rake blindfolded."
"Hey, hooray, you ruptured his spleen, yea!"
"So does Hardware Hank have a major defence contract, or...."
"He's also a blackbelt in whack-a-mole."

And after the duel's epic conclusion:

"Now Nick's going to declare marshal law, loot his museums, and call in an airstrike."

Good evening low-lifes, and welcome to Club Scum. Tonight, for your viewing entertainment, we shall present an epic battle to the death between the yard-tool carrying geeks, and the non-moveable muppets!

"The puppeteer's knucles must be really bloody by now."

...Nonetheless, my money is on the muppets! :D

They actually look a lot more appealing that they actually were in this drawing

McCreedy: "I'm terribly sorry to wake you, sir, but there's been an accident at the studio..."
Crow: "We made Hobgoblins!"

One of my favorite episodes:lol: Loved the the band segment where they try to guess the name of the song...

Almost universally thought to be one of the best they've done. I was especially fond of the rake fight!
