This is a movie within a TV movie within a made-for-video movie. A boy is watching TV when a power outage forces him to talk to his grandpa for entertainment. His grandpa, a former screenwriter, re-tells an old screenplay about Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. In it, Merlin sets up an enchanting store in a modern-day strip mall, accompanied by his gleeful wife and gnomes, snakes, dragons, etc. From this framing device, we then see two stories about people's encounters with items from the shop. The first sequence (created for this film but looking like an episode of "Tales From The Darkside") involves a pompous, cranky newspaper critic who begins casting spells using Merlin's spell book. The second story, an edited version of the full length movie, The Devil's Gift, is about an evil monkey doll (you know, the wicked grin and the cymbals?) who kills every time his hands clap. Merlin of the 1990s is disjointedly tied-in with the 1980 movie.

| User ReviewIan SExcellent film, as long as you are watching the MST3K Version. |
| User ReviewSean Mone of my favorite MST3K episodes... I can't get enough of that crazy cymbal monkey. Oh, and to this day I still sing "Rock n Roll Martian.." and no one has any idea what the hell i'm talking about. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is the pinnacle of awesomely bad. Watch the MST3K version sometime... |
| User ReviewZane Tthe funniest movie ever. the director shot half a movie then added the rest from his other movie devils gift made more than 10 years earlier. the only way he was able to link them was with a toy monkey. it is probably one of the best movies i have ever seen. Watching the movie again on DVD with the help of MST3K was fun it is such a bizarre film and is great one because of the film itself and also the jokes the MST3K crew shows. I just love how the piece together movie works and how the name sounds like a childrens movie but it is far from that. There is an interview on the DVD that was fun to watch too had a lot of info on how the show was put together, shot and written. Kevin Murphy says that there are two types of MST3K movies ones that are bad on their for their obsurd reasons and the other are movies that are fun to watch because of the jokes they make on them. I feel that both are true and both are fun to watch. Some movies on their own that they show are actually worth seeing alone separately while others you are glad you are with them. |
| User ReviewEric WAwful film that doesn't know what its audience wants, goofy animal killings be damned. Thank goodness MST3K got me through this trainwreck. Also, the synopsis and photo for this entry are inaccurate. |
| User ReviewBrett W"My reviews have destroyed entire cities!" |
| User ReviewSunshine sIn this adventure, Merlin, his wife Zurella, and other mythical creatures inspire all who come to his shop. Sure to delight people of all ages |
| User ReviewThomas JHilariously bad! While I saw it on MST3K, I wouldn't mind owning this without the Satellite of Love's commentary. |
| User ReviewJohn DThis was one of the films Jim used to introduce me to the glory of MST3K. I would not advise any sane person to watch this movie unless under the guidance of the MST3K crew! |
| User ReviewBrian BHilariously bad! While I saw it on MST3K, I wouldn't mind owning this without the Satellite of Love's commentary. |
