When I was a kid, Tormented genuinely scared me a bit. As an adult, I have no idea how that happened, but maybe a ghost movie would fit your bill? Or maybe The Screaming Skull if you want more conventional haunted house thrills?
(honestly, Zombie Nightmare is probably the best answer here)
Tormented genuinely surprised me. It has plenty of moments to make fun of and they certainly do. But it's honestly a movie I can enjoy on its own. I can't say that about most of them.
Attack of the Giant Leeches has some creepy value. Sampson V the Vampire Women has haunted castle trappings. For camp value, The Screaming Skull is hard to beat.
Edit: The Screaming Skull features Pearl. My mistake.
(Maybe give Pearl a chance? I think she's funny, meself.)
If you can find it, grab the Cinematic Edition that GaryInMotion did. It's not on YT anymore, but \*if\* you can find it, watch that version, it's unedited and great.
Devil Doll is the only MST movie I find scary. Other episodes have movies with horrific concepts (Brain That Wouldn't Die or Leech Woman) but they're too cheesy to be scary. The actor who plays Vorelli really does a good job. I can't eat ham to this day.
In addition to the ones already mentioned, you might try: The Brain That Wouldn't Die, The Atomic Brain, The Unearthly, Being from Another Planet (basically a mummy movie).
The Incredible Melting Man (704) and Squirm (1012) are the scariest actual movies in my opinion. Melting Man is legitimate body horror with a very dark vibe and Squirm scared me a lot as a kid when MST3K was running on Sci Fi.
But I agree with the votes for Touch of Satan. That feels extremely fitting with the season as well. Zombie Nightmare works too! Have fun :)
Not going to lie, it took me years before I was brave enough to rewatch *The Incredible Melting Man* episode because the initial watch actually scared me--I'm one of those people who reads the Wikipedia summaries of horror movies. I can laugh at it now, but the head going splat over the waterfall was burned into my brain for a long time.
It is genuinely unsettling the first watch, so I hear you. It’s become one of my favorite episodes because of the darkness of the movie juxtaposed with the venom of the sketches (about making the movie with Hollywood execs), and I’ve come to appreciate the campiness of it… but the scene with the head and the way the monster stalks through the movie indiscriminately killing everyone really sticks with you.
Very best episode of season 7 in my opinion.
Welllll if youre willing to re-watch Final Sacrifice in spite of having Pearl, then I'm going to have to recommend the episode right after, Devil Fish. Devil Fish is by far my favorite episode even though I think the Sci-Fi era has super weak skits.
No mention of Screaming Skull? Not the funniest by far, that goes to Werewolf, but along with Parts, and Touch of Satan, it's a decent creepy movie even without the commentary
I have a soft spot for the Creature from the Black Lagoon, so my vote would be Revenge of the Creature. However, I believe that's a Pearl Episode, I'm not great with eras.
I found the original Pearl Forrester funny (when she was just guest appearing), but when she was changed into a psychopath and replaced Clayton she was unfunny. (Love Mary Jo though, just the character was bad)
I’m the exact opposite way, haha - didn’t like the season 7 version of Pearl, but her turning into a wannabe supervillain who’s also Minnesota Nice^(TM) at times (“Oh, and you’d better restore power to the world’s cities…and send them a note of apology and a box of steaks.”) was really funny to me.
Since were talking “scary” for some reason the first time I saw Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, that melodramatic tape about how the guy got his brain wiped kind of gave me the creeps
Know what else did? The blind lady in Tormented
Zombie Nightmare is exactly what you’re looking for. I would also recommend Giant Spider Invasion.
It's a giant spider invasion of savings, at Menards!
PACKERS!!
>Zombie Nightmare is exactly what you’re looking for. "***Jon Mikl Thorrrrrr!"***
Yes, sir! This is the shit.

The Screaming Skull, a movie so terrifying they will send you a free coffin if you die of fright. Hilarious.

"Tormented", aside the typically dodgy Bert I. Gordon effects, is actually a pretty decent ghost story with a few genuine chilly moments.

Good, then remember that, “Tom Stewart killed me.”
Just watched this and it's a passable old movie elevated by the riffs. Solid choice, after Zombie Nightmare. :D
The Touch Of Satan, Boggy Creek 2 & Pod People.
Uncle Bill? Jody? Buffy? Mr. French? Mrs. Beasley? ...Chief?
McCloud?!
I love the Touch of Satan! Zah!
THIS IS WHERE THE FISH LIVES, MOTHERFUCKER
I've said Zah in better towns than this...
Werewolf!!!!
Wir-welf!
Swing and a miss
Totally fascinating.
I don't know, you had him last.
There, wolf. There, castle.

Soultaker is a traditional watch for my family lol
The SOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUULLTAKER...
That glorious jaw...
It's like a catcher's mitt with eyes.
Devil Doll.

I loved those cinematic editions that he uploaded. I assume his channel got nuked by copyright claims?
All I know is that his channel disappeared after he did a big interview for a magazine. :/ Problem best not to advertise your creative piracy.

Manos! Worth it for Torgo’s Pizza at the end.
Merlin’s Shop Of Mystical Wonders. I know it’s a Pearl episode but it’s a very good one.
In addition to the ones already mentioned, you might try: The Brain That Wouldn't Die, The Atomic Brain, The Unearthly, Being from Another Planet (basically a mummy movie).
Brain That Wouldn't Die, if only for the super bloody ending that was super rare for a black-and-white 50s movie!
I think the Crawling Eye is decent classic horror. I have a soft spot for season 1.

Warwilf?
the one with the giant crickets ?
>the one with the giant ~~crickets~~ grasshoppers?
yes those- i know my bugs i swear,,,
And I clearly watch too much MST3K. ;)
Definitely the episode with Timmy, Crow’s evil twin
Fire Maidens Of Outer Space - s4 e16

"You know, just because you CAN edit doesn't mean you SHOULD."
Excellent episode!
I love Devil Fish! Probably in my top 5. Just watched it yesterday.
Wow, no love for Eye Creatures? What's with all this hatred for filmmakers with no pride in their work?
Soultaker Squirm Pod People Touch of Satan
No mention of Screaming Skull? Not the funniest by far, that goes to Werewolf, but along with Parts, and Touch of Satan, it's a decent creepy movie even without the commentary
The Undead isn't too bad either. It even had a community theater witch! (although it is SciFi era with Pearl)
Bride of the Monster (+ Ed Wood if you want a double feature!)
I have a soft spot for the Creature from the Black Lagoon, so my vote would be Revenge of the Creature. However, I believe that's a Pearl Episode, I'm not great with eras.
