"Apoco-lapse of my time"

Films: Robot Holocaust (1986)

Alias: The Dark One

Type: Man-Made

Location: Forest/Haunted home

Height/Weight: That of average humans.

Affiliation: Evil

Summary: So, your big fantasy epic won't sell, according to you friends. Tough titty. Perhaps it you threw in some robots, everything will be fine!

History: After the great Robot Rebellion of '33, much of the world has been left in ruins, with cities crumbled and forests taking its place. The land is infested with worm-like mutants and the influence of the Dark One, a robotic overlord who has assimilated many, and killed many more with his robot army. But now, a team of wandering adventures (and an annoying good bot) plans on ending his tyranny.

Notable Kills: Nothing special.

Final Fate: The Dark One himself is ultimately killed when he's stupidly flanked by a guy with a sword. His reign is over.

Powers/Abilities: The Dark One makes many robots, usually out of living human beings.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 3-We cannot lie that the Dark One's design is rather hardcore. A pity that he's a lousy fighter. It baffles us that he managed to overthrow mankind. Then again, he might have had more robotic henchmen, who look just as gnarly as he.

Trivia: -This film has music from other films by director Charles Band, such as the score from "Laserblast".

-This film was the first color film to be riffed in the first season of MST3K, after both the fans and the crew demanded less black-and-white fair.

Not robots, but just a reminder that the world they live in is a Hell.
Wow, Dark One. You got fat. I'm just gonna leave that out there.
