 the finale of Crappy Christmas at MOBS -- and this time at The Crocker? 
 Featuring: Crappy Christmas decorations where we can put 'em, Crappy 
 Christmas presents for the unlucky few who get 'em, and other horrible 
 surprises!!\n\n"Featuring" the "holiday classic"...\n\nSanta vs 
 Satan\n\nWe're equal parts stunned and baffled that we'll be presenting the 
 return of this bizarre and relatively unknown movie from 1959, originally 
 filmed and released in Mexico, at The Crocker! But no, your eyes do not 
 deceive you! Included will be the badly 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 you'll hope will come 
 down your chimney? Um, not so much. He's pretty creepy with his overly 
 sweet voice paired with his disturbing (and not quite jolly) laugh 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... But 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 we mention the vampiric 
 mechanized reindeer? No? Or the interpretive dance in Hell? Hmm...\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 its boring parts (and yes, it DOES have it's boring 
 parts). When this was first released 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\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\nThe entire mess will be overseen and hosted by 
 nationally syndicated late night horror host, Cinema Insomnia's Mr. Lobo! 
 There might be an ill-tempered "elf" there, too, to "assist" - so - uh, ya 
 might wanna watch out for her...\n\n
