The Dead Talk Back is a 1957 film that for some reason languished on a shelf before finally being released on home video in 1993. From there, it got picked up by Mystery Science Theater 3000, where it aired in 1994.The story concerns a rather bizarre opening monologue by Dr. Krasker (Aldo Farnese), a psychic researcher who purports to have a method of speaking with the dead. This opening is quickly shelved as we transition to the rooming house Krasker lives in, where a new narrator essentially counts down to the death of a woman. Once the police exhaust the conventional methods of finding out who the killer is, they bring in Krasker to help out and hopefully finger the murderer.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Of course, along the way we meet a bunch of rather... odd characters.For tropes and details relating to the MST3K version of the film, please see the episode recap page. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Subverted, as the methods talked about in the opening narration never figure in the solving of the case. Or do they?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

BGM: Apparently, the film had a very limited music budget, as the same stock music piece is repeated tons of times in the last half hour. | |

Artistic License – Law: The murderer's confession would not hold up in a court of law. Heck, if Patini were the murderer, the fact he was kept there against his will would also be illegal, and the confession would be ruled as coerced. | |

Asshole Victim: Renee is considered one by the murderer given she was blackmailing him. | |

Mind Screw | |
The Dead Talk Back / int_bef696dd | comment |
They don't bring anyone back from the dead, but convincing the audience and most of the cast that Dr Krasker will do it makes an effective bluff on the murderer, which results in a decent twist with a bit of Mind Screw thrown in. | |
