The Devil's Gift (1984)
Anyone remember "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders"? If so, then chances are you might be familiar with an obscure 1980s horror film entitled "The Devil's Gift."
In addition to the scenes you may be familiar with, there were even more grotesque nightmare scenes or (mostly) unnecessary filler scenes that give me the idea that "The Devil's Gift" can't decide if it wants to be kid-friendly or hardcore. Whatever the case, watching the original movie left me depressed. For those who are curious, here is the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5FeQ5rmKMY

Since Mike, Kevin and Bill have riffed on "Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders" twice, once for Mystery Science Theater 3000 and once for Rifftrax, they should consider riffing on director Kenneth J. Berton's other movie, "The Devil's Gift" from 1984. Part of it was actually re-edited into the second story of Merlin's Shop, but there were a lot of extra subplots and scenes that were cut out of that version, including the original ending in which everyone gets killed by the toy monkey. I think it's about time that Mike, Kevin, & Bill gave the full, un-Merlin'd movie a good riffing.
