 n: $5.00<br />\n	Movies on a Big Screen at The Grange<br />\n	3823 V St\, 
 Sacramento\, CA 95817<br /><br />\n	Seating is limited! Advance tickets av
 ailable at http://www.moviesonabigscreen.com<br /><br />\n	The entire nigh
 t will be overseen and hosted by nationally syndicated late night horror h
 ost\, Cinema Insomnia's Mr. Lobo!  We'll also be giving out Crappy Christm
 as presents to those few unlucky enough to get them.<br /><br />\n	And fea
 turing the holiday 'classic'<br /><br />\n	Santa vs Satan<br /><br />\n	We
 're equal parts apologetic and ashamed that we'll be yet AGAIN presenting 
 the return of this bizarre and relatively unknown movie from 1959\, origin
 ally filmed and released in Mexico. Included will be the badly dubbed Engl
 ish soundtrack from its 1960 US release.<br /><br />\n	The plot is fairly 
 straight-forward - Santa lives on a cloud floating over the North Pole whe
 re\, 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 jol
 ly) laugh and insincere and sometimes vacant eyes staring at children thro
 ugh 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 hi
 s 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 othe
 r mischief. Oh yes - and Santa is pals with Merlin the Magician who suppli
 es St. Nick with\, amongst other things\, sleeping powder. Oh - did we men
 tion the vampiric mechanized reindeer? No? Or the interpretive dance in He
 ll? Hmm...<br /><br />\n	All 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 i
 n theaters\, it was common to see children leaving in tears from trauma an
 d fright.<br /><br />\n	You know\, it's not really a Christmas movie witho
 ut dialog like\, 'There's a prowler out there -- he's come to kill your wi
 fe. And your children. He's going to murder you!'<br /><br /><br />\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 a
 n 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 dum
 bfounded awe at what is transpiring on the screen. It's a hoot. A damned s
 cary hoot\, granted\, but certainly a hoot.' - dvdinmypants.com<br />\n	 <
