Movie time: Frightday Night at the Movies, MST3K & Santa Claus
You know the drill.
Frightday night. Movie night at the house. Dogs, Mister, takeout, Boogyman du Jour. Creepy movies. Bad movies. Oh so bad movies. Illegal in 17 states. If you haven’t heard the shpiel, search Frightday Night and you’ll see the explanation.
Good grief I love this tradition!
Tonight’s contender has been waiting for so long. You don’t know how long I have had this in my back pocket, waiting to straddle the seasons. I almost posted it during Halloween season, but decided to wait until now, when we are fresh off Halloween and people probably still have some decorations up, but you are thinking about Christmas, even though you still have to plan for Thanksgiving dinner yet.
Oh, this is a classic. Not only is this movie so poorly filmed (oh lordy is it poorly filmed) but it has Santa in it. And Santa fights a boogyman. And of all the boogymen that Santa could fight, who does the director pick? Yes, peoples, Santa fights (insert evil yet dramatic music here) the Devil!
No. Freaking. Lie.
This is Mystery Science Theater 3000 reviewing a movie that is actually about Santa Claus fighting the Devil.
Does the world get any better than that?
I doubt it.
