 There's Nothing Out There is the movie that MST's itself. Knowing that they didn't have a budget or a particularly original plot idea, the makers decided to create an outstanding spoof. The premise here is that five teens go to spend a weekend in a secluded cabin. One of them, however, is a horror movie buff, and he quickly begins to realize that they are all IN a horror movie. And the writer handles this better than Scream even dreams of doing. All bad horror movie fans know what it's like to shout "How can you be so STUPID?" at the hero/victim in a horror movie. Well, this guy actually does what you would have told him to do! Various other deliberately stereotypical characters bite the dust in various deliberately stereotypical ways, and he says "I told you so." But that's not the limit of the goofiness in this movie. Eventually all the other victims/heroes buy into the horror movie idea and they devise a plan to kill the monster that's after them. At one point in the ensuing fight, one of the characters actually jumps up and swings off the boom mike to escape the monster. "There's Nothing Out There" is a classic: it's far and away the most amusing spoof movie I've ever seen.
