RiffTrax Live: Santa Claus

This film presents a comedic twist on the 1959 holiday classic Santa Claus, originally produced by K. Gordon Murray. Set in a whimsical and bizarre version of Christmas lore, Santa Claus is depicted living in a castle in geosynchronous orbit, overseeing the world in a manner reminiscent of surveillance.

The story revolves around a young girl named Lupita, who wishes for a doll on Christmas Eve. Santa, assisted by the eccentric Merlin the Wizard and his peculiar mechanical reindeer, sets off to fulfill her wish. The film’s odd mix of holiday cheer and unsettling elements creates a unique viewing experience.

Collectors can find this title available on DVD, making it a tangible piece of both RiffTrax and holiday movie history. The film's quirky premise and humorous commentary make it a distinctive addition to any collection focused on cult classics or holiday-themed films.
