Rock n Roll Nightmare is what you'd get if Mötley Crüe guest hosted The Muppet Show. But it turns out it wasn't Mötley Crüe, it was a Mötley Crüe tribute band. And it wasn't The Muppets, it was some scrap foam from the Muppet factory that fused together when the dumpster behind the studio got too hot and a bum stuck googly eyes on it. And it wasn't a Mötley Crüe tribute band, it was a sizeable pile of industrial ooze that was struck by lightning and achieved basic sentience and learned rudimentary musicianship. Wait, that actually may be Mötley Crüe...

Yes, Rock n Roll Nightmare combines the exciting worlds of hair metal and hideous puppets! The Tritonz have rented a house in rural Canada. Their ambitious goal? To record ten new minutes of music. For this they have set aside an entire month. Little do they know that years earlier, or perhaps the previous day, an Oven Skeleton killed the family that lived in the house (just stay with us.)

Needless to say, this causes any number of unspeakable horrors to happen, namely the full length performances of several Tritonz songs and the sight of singer Jon Mikl Thor's butt in the shower. Also, a literal portal to hell opens up and the devil and several of his minions come through. Be warned, these scenes are not for the faint of heart, as a few of these puppets are slightly scarier and more grotesque than Baby Sinclair on Dinosaurs.

Like Spinal Tap recording The Basement Tapes on the set of Labyrinth if it was written by Otto from The Simpsons, Rock n Roll Nightmare is some serious 80s cheese. Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill to talk about rock, around the clock, because their energy has got them where they wanna be.

This title contains brief nudity!

Folks, this is one of those films that even back in the MST3k days folks were screaming to be riffed.It is legitimately the equal in goofiness to anything ever shown on MST3k, Go! Buy it!

Is it me, or do the creatures in this movie sort-of look like slimy, malformed, pe-........

[MerryWanna]

Trekker, I noticed that too. I'm sure EVERYBODY must have.


A horrible cross between "Despicable Me" minions and dicks.

Seeing this one right after "To Catch a Yeti" I have to beg the Rifftraxers: Please! No more Canadian '80s movies featuring has-been rockstars and puppets? Two in a row was...torture.

Has-been is pretty generous to Jon-Mikl Thor

Has-been is pretty generous to Jon-Mikl Thor

Holy cow, he was the guy in "Zombie Nightmare", the semi-shirted guy who made nice-use of his "area" when fighting the convenience store robbers.

Surprisingly it's the UK version titled "THE EDGE OF HELL".

[MST3Kgirl]
