The MST Scrapbook is a video diary of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that starts from the original pilot episode and goes through the sixth season of the show. Included are many rare pieces of footage, including the pilot and several KTMA-era bits, as well as the promotional tape sent to the The Comedy Channel that sold the show.
Also included are:
- Many promos and commercials from the early days of the show on the Comedy Channel.
- Home video footage of the construction of the CC-era Satellite of Love and the attempts to film the door sequence.
- Extra behind-the-scenes footage from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians originally filmed for This Is MST3K.
- All of the introductions and a few of the bumpers from Turkey Day '91.
- Various promos, including the Ingmar Bergman-styled "Death and Taxes" promo.
- Footage from Mystery Science Theater Alive!
- Footage from the ConventioCon ExpoFest-A-Rama.
- A montage of personal photos that runs from Season K to Season 6.
This tape is no longer commercially available, although the KTMA bits and behind-the-scenes of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians are available on two of the discs for Volume XV. According to Brian Ward (one of the members of Shout! Factory), The MST Scrapbook is unable to be released in its entirety due to too many legal clearance issues involved.
