The Demon Dogs (also known as the "Dog People"), are alien creatures that invaded the Satellite of Love due to its bone-like shape. They were led by Enoch.
Behind the scenes[]
- The Demon Dog puppets were originally created by Joel Hodgson for a live show called "Spookfest '87".
- During Episode K19, Hangar 18, Joel announced on-air that the thousandth person to join the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Information Club would receive a Demon Dog as a prize.
- Footage of the Demon Dogs overrunning the Bridge appears in the show's opening in Season K and Season 1.
- The Demon Dog puppets were based on a Masters of the Universe toy called Battle Bones. The toys were modified by being painted pink with a black nose and eyes, and adding ears.
- Enoch was further modified to turn his head around so he stood upright. His legs were rearranged to face front, a cape and moustache were added, and a puppetry mechanism was installed in his head so he could speak.
- A single Demon Dog in the Season K opening was bent into a curved shape so Joel could wear it as a hat.
- The Demon Dogs are the first visitors to the Satellite of Love that appear inside the ship during Joel's time there.
- In Spring 1990 Best Brains, Inc. offered the Demon Dog props for sale to members of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Information Club for $25 each.[1]
