My dad found a website of some guy who is selling all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes! Alllright! My parents and I watch both Christmas ones every year - it's become a Christmas tradition. I think both movies came out in the early or mid 60's and they're hideous. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians has Martians with green face paint and glittery painted scuba masks on their foreheads. Are the masks some sort of telepathy device? Screening from the UV due to Mars's thin atmosphere? Some sort of benign growth all Martians have from the aforementioned UV? I don't know.
Santa Claus is an English-dubbed Mexican movie with the freakiest reindeer you ever did see. I think it's the demonic laughter that worries me the most. One of the best lines: "That's not a doll, that's a sister!" as Lupita, the 4-year-old star staggers in with this doll as big as her. Both movies gain so much by having the MST3K guys give them the once over.
The other one I want is Attack of the Eye Creatures just because of the freaky guy in the striped nightgown. You know, they made some weird movies in the 60's.
