| abstract | - The Dead Talk Back is a film that for some reason languished on a shelf before finally being released in the 1990s. From there, it got picked up by Mystery Science Theater 3000, where it aired in 1994. The story concerns a rather bizarre opening monologue by Dr. Krasker (Aldo Farnese), a psychic researcher whom purports to have a method of speaking with the dead. This opening is quickly shelved as we transition to the rooming house Krasker lives in, where a new narrator essentially counts down to the death of a woman. Once the police exhaust the conventional methods of finding out who the killer is, they bring in Krasker to help out and hopefully finger the murderer. Of course, along the way we meet a bunch of rather...odd characters. For tropes and details relating to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the film, please see the episode recap page.
