DESCRIPTION:Friday, Dec 19\n\nSanta Claus (aka. Santa Vs Satan)\n\n7PM and 9:30 
 PM\nAdmission: $5\n\nLocation: 600 4th St, West Sacramento (that's the 
 corner of 4th & F in West Sac - parking lot is right off of F Street 
 between 4th & 5th).\n\nJust to get you into the properly creeped-out 
 holiday mood you should be in this time of year, we'll be presenting this 
 bizarre and relatively unknown movie from 1959, originally filmed and 
 released in Mexico.  Included will be the badly and bizarrely dubbed 
 English soundtrack (no subtitles) from its 1960 US release.\n\nThe plot is 
 fairly straight-forward - Santa lives on a cloud floating over the North 
 Pole where, rather than elves, children from all over the world help make 
 toys (and they're really more like happy slaves).  Is this a happy Santa 
 that will make you want him to come down your chimney?  Um, not so much.  
 He's pretty creepy with his overly sweet voice paired with his disturbing 
 laugh (not really jolly either) and insincere and sometimes vacant eyes 
 staring at children through odd Sid and Marty Krofft-like devices - well, 
 it's best just left at that...  \n\nBut anyway - Satan is determined to 
 bring Santa down, so sends his minion, Pitch (a skinny guy in a cheap weird 
 red suit), to the surface to make the kids of the world hate Santa and 
 engage in vandalism and other mischief.  Oh yes - and Santa is pals with 
 Merlin the Magician  who supplies St. Nick with, amongst other things, 
 sleeping powder.  Oh - did I mention the vampiric mechanized reindeer?  
 No?\n\nAll in all, this is one surreal (and yes, it IS surreal) cheaply 
 made (and yes, it IS very low-budget, so don't expect quality) Christmas 
 travesty for all to enjoy, even with it's boring parts (and yes, it DOES 
 have it's boring parts).  When this was firstreleased in theaters, it was 
 common to see children leaving in tears from trauma and fright.\n\nYou 
 know, it's not really a Christmas movie without dialog like, "There’s a 
 prowler out there -- he’s come to kill your wife. And your children. 
 He’s going to murder you!"  \n\n"How can a movie get everything so very, 
 very wrong and yet be so very, very right?  If you aren’t the least bit 
 familiar with this surreal trip into an extremely non-traditional view of 
 jolly ol’ St. Nick, perhaps the less known the better, as half the fun of 
 this colossal mess is staring in dumbfounded awe at what is transpiring on 
 the screen. It’s a hoot. A damned scary hoot, granted, but certainly a 
 hoot." - dvdinmypants.com\n\nYep - this is how we wish folks Happy Holidays 
 in the land of Movies on a Big Screen!\n
