A Timeline of MST'd Movies

What I'm going to do here is present a timeline of the feature films and shorts that were shown in the twelve seasons of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and in the feature film. I will not be including the KTMA episodes, and I will not be chronicling the adventures of Joel/Mike/Jonah, the Bots and the Mads here, because I’ve already done it here.

Instead, this will be a chronicle of the events depicted in the films themselves, as though they all occurred in one timeline. There is a problem with this, and that is the fact that some of these films contradict one another, especially those set in the future. Heck, some of them contradict themselves! Thus, where I feel an irreconcilable contradiction is present, I will be altering or ignoring the films' continuity to whatever extent I feel necessary. I will try to keep this to a minimum, and when I do this, I will present an explanation in the footnotes, describing what changes I have made.

Additionally, some of the films do not give a clear notion of when they were set. In these cases, I will be choosing dates arbitrarily, and I will note this as well. When a film is contemporary, I am assuming that it is set in the year of its release, unless there is evidence to the contrary.

Finally, there will be some sections in boldface. These will contain speculation on my part, designed to flesh out the timeline a bit, and make it more substantial.

We will begin, appropriately enough, In the beginning...

The Time of the Creation

In the Beginning: God creates the universe, and the universe is without form, and void; and darkness is upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moves upon the face of spacetime.

And God speaks, saying, “Watch out for snakes!” (1)

At the same time, He creates several angels to do His bidding. (2) Some of the angels, led by Lucifer, rebel against God, and take up residence in Hell. (3) In addition, lesser supernatural beings come into existence, some of which are “sprites” that embody various ideas or concepts. (4)

Time passes, and the Star Sol comes into existence. Sol has eleven planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (5), Nova and Terra.

Nova is the outermost of the planets, orbiting beyond even that of Pluto. (6) Terra has the same orbit as Earth, only on the opposite side of the Sun. (7)

Life in the Solar System begins on Earth, evolving from fish to amphibians to the creatures known as dinosaurs. At some point during this period, the creatures that later civilizations would call the Gill Men (8), the Slime People (9) and the Mahars (10) evolved.

Circa 65,000,000 BC: A large asteroid strikes the Earth, wiping out most of the dinosaurs (some survive in isolated pockets), and the budding non-human civilizations. Some of the Mahars and Slime People survive in subterranean shelters. A population of Gill Men survive in what will later be the Amazon jungle.

Some time after this, the human race comes into existence. Their planet of origin is unknown. As with modern humans, they had “racial” divisions. There was a dominant group (resembling modern Europeans) and a suppressed group (resembling modern East Asians) called “Centaurians”, who were treated as inferiors. Eventually, these humans developed a star-faring civilization and spread throughout space. (11)

The Rise and Fall of Atlantis

200,000 BC:

A starship containing a mixed Human/Centaurian crew visits a planet in the Solaris system. Some crewmembers are marooned on the planet, which is actually prehistoric Earth. (12) Little is known of the language or culture of these people. Only one phrase has come down to the present day, preserved in the secret rituals of various esoteric martial arts: "Hi-Keeba!" Its original meaning is unknown.

175,000 BC:

Descendants of the alien colonists have flourished and spread over the Earth and established colonies on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Terra and other places throughout the Solar System. They have an advanced technology and are masters of genetic manipulation. They use giant creatures (what a later civilization will call “kaiju”) as weapons systems. However, divisions in their society lead to internal conflict. Seeing an apocalyptic war as inevitable, one faction stocks the as-yet-uncolonized planet Nova with a wide variety of wildlife. Setting up an environmental maintenance unit, they send the planet on an even longer orbit out of the solar system, so that animal life will at least be preserved if the world is destroyed. (13) When the war does break out, their civilization is largely destroyed, although human populations survive on Earth and on outposts throughout the Solar System. Memories of their civilization will come down through the years in the legends of Atlantis.

In the postwar period, the survivors rebuild to an extent, using the remnants of the Atlanteans’ technology. Many kingdoms rise and fall. Individuals who use recovered pieces of Atlantean technology are thought of as “wizards”. (14)

174,800 BC:

The drifter Neo breaks the Dark One’s control over his slaves. (15)

174,002 BC:

The warrior Ator overthrows the Spider Cult. (16)

174,000 BC:

The warrior Ator prevents the warlord Zor from gaining control of the Geometric Nucleus, a powerful artifact of Atlantean technology. (17)

173,000 BC:

Deathstalker battles the evil Troxartes. (18)

172,000 BC:

Simon of Axeholme and the warrior Kor battle the evil wizard Shurka. (19)

171,996 BC:

The young wizard Tyor battles three evil wizards. (20)

As the memory of “Atlantis” fades, the civilizations on Earth deteriorate. They lose touch with the outposts around the Solar System, and they, in their turn, no longer have much interest in Earth. Eventually adapting to their new worlds physically, they come in time to think of themselves as “Martians” or “Venusians”, and so on.

On Earth, most of humanity has reverted to barbarism, except in isolated subterranean or undersea enclaves.

100,000 BC:

A tribe of primitives discovers evidence of the fallen ancient civilization and begins to dream of one day rebuilding it. (21)

The Age of Legendary Heroes

As the old civilization was largely forgotten, a new civilization began to arise. Soon the new civilization began to produce extraordinary individuals, people who became legendary heroes. One of the earliest such heroes was the physically powerful if perhaps not over-bright Hercules. One of his few rivals was Maciste, although there is some speculation that they were one and the same person.

Notes
(1)God’s existence is implied in many of the films, but, to my recollection, He is not seen on-screen, unless you believe that the Celestial Judge in the Show 210 short, X Marks the Spot (1944), is Him. "Watch out for snakes!" comes from Show 506's feature Eegah (1962), in which, due to poor sound editing, a disembodied voice shouts the above phrase.

(2)Angels are seen in the Show 618 short, Out of This World (1954) and the Episode 701 short, Once Upon a Honeymoon (1956). I’m assuming that the Soultakers, seen in the Show 1001 feature, Soultaker (1990), are angels of a sort, as well.

(3) The Devil appears onscreen in the Show 806 feature, The Undead (1956). Demons appear in Out of This World and Show 521's feature, Santa Claus (1959).

(4)One such creature is Coily the Spring Sprite, seen in the Show 1012 short, A Case of Spring Fever (1940). Another is Mr. B Natural, seen in Show 319’s eponymous 1956 short.

(5)You’ll get me to accept that Pluto isn’t a planet when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!

(6)Seen in Show 210’s feature, King Dinosaur (1960). The part about its orbit is speculation on my part, which we’ll be getting back to.

(7)Seen in Show 312's feature, Gamera vs. Guiron (1969).

(8)Seen in Show 801's feature, Revenge of the Creature (1955).

(9)Seen in Show 108's feature, The Slime People (1963).

(10)Seen in Show 1114's feature, At the Earth’s Core. (1976)

(11)This is my attempt to develop a back story for Show 104’s feature, Women of the Prehistoric Planet (1966), a film with a well-meaning but somewhat ham-fisted message about race relations that manages to be kind of racist itself.

(12)This is one of many dates chosen arbitrarily by me.

(13) This is my explanation of how the planet Nova maintained an Earth-like environment despite being out of the Solar System.

(14)I’ve put a number of the films whose settings don’t work well in other historical periods into this era.

(15)From Show 110’s feature, Robot Holocaust (1986).

(16)From Show 1206's feature, Ator, the Fighting Eagle (1982)

(17)From Show 301’s feature, Cave Dwellers (1984).

(18)From Show 703’s Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell. (1988)

(19)From Show 1110’s Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1985).

(20) From Show 1111’s Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II (1989).

(21)From Show 315’s Teenage Caveman (1958).

(22)Seen in Show 502’s feature, Hercules (1958). Note that the dates for the Hercules and Maciste films were simply based on my best guesses as to when a ”real” Hercules might have existed.

(23)Seen in Show 605’s feature, Colossus and the Headhunters (1960).

(24)Seen in Show 408’s feature, Hercules Unchained (1959)

(25)Seen in Show 412’s, feature, Hercules and the Captive Women (1961).

(26)Seen in Show 401’s feature, Hercules Against the Moon Men (1964).

(27)Seen in Show 1108’s feature, The Loves of Hercules (1960).

(28)Seen in Show 422’s feature, The Day the Earth Froze (1959). As with the Hercules films, this date is my best guess as to when the Finnish “time of legend” might have been.

(29)Seen in Show 505’s feature, The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (1952). Another ”best guess” as to the date. This picture is a Cormanization of the Russian film, Sadko.

(30)Seen in Show 317’s feature, The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1957). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(31)Seen in Show 1009’s feature, Hamlet (1961). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(32)Seen in Show 813’s feature, Jack Frost (1966). This film is a localization of the Russian film, Morózko. Another ”best guess” as to the date. I’m a little uncertain as to the nature of magical beings like Jack Frost and Father Mushroom. They may be spirits like Coily and Mr. B Natural, or they may be something more. We can assume that they are all part of God’s plan, somehow.

(33)Seen in Show 806’s feature, The Sword and the Dragon (1956). This is a localization of the Russian film, Ilya Muromets. Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(34)Seen in Show 806’s feature, The Undead (1956). The episode mentions the “second year of the reign of King Mark”, but the only King Mark I could find was King Mark of Cornwall, who didn’t seem to fit well, so I guessed at the date.

(35)From Show 411’s The Magic Sword (1962). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(36)From Show 913’s feature, The Quest of the Delta Knights (1993).

(37)From Show 805’s feature, The Thing That Couldn’t Die (1958) Drew’s execution is stated to be four hundred years before the present.

(38)Seen in Show 1113’s feature, The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t (1966). I don’t recall a specific date given, but the impression I had was of a “Victorian” setting, so I placed it a century before the release date. Santa is portrayed somewhat inconsistently in the various Christmas movies the show has done. My take is that he is a supernatural being who adapts himself to various times and place.

(39)Seen in Show 510’s feature, The Painted Hills (1951). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(40)Seen in Show 511's feature, Gunslinger (1956). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(41) Seen in Show 1114's feature, At the Earth’s Core (1976). Another one without a specific sate given, but the impression I had was of a “Victorian” setting, so I placed it a century before the release date.

(42) Seen in Show 611's feature, Last of the Wild Horses (1948). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(43) Seen in Show 1105's feature, The Beast of Hollow Mountain (1956). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(44)Seen in Show 1107's feature, The Land That Time Forgot (1975). Another ”best guess” as to the date.

(45)Seen in Show 315’s short, Catching Trouble (1936).

(81)Seen in Show 107’s feature, Robot Monster (1953). The film’s ending is ambiguous as to whether it’s all a dream or not. I’m sticking with it being a dream.

(206)Seen in Show 305’s feature, Stranded in Space (1973). In the original film, Stryker goes to a “Terra” that is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. Since Gamera vs. Guiron already had a “Terra” that was incompatible with this film’s version, I made Stryker’s Terra an other-dimensional counterpart.

(245)Seen in Show 403’s feature, City Limits (1985). In the film, the plague spreads world-wide, but that would play havoc with the rest of the timeline as I see it, so I’m limiting it to a large but manageable area.

(247)Seen in show 501’s feature, Warrior of the Lost World (1983). The original film posited a worldwide apocalypse. As with the previous film, I am ignoring this element of the film’s continuity in order to better suit the timeline as I see it.
