RiffTrax presents Santa Claus (the Mexican exploitation one)
ONE Night Only for the Christmas season!

Thursday, December 4 – 7:00 pm only at the Century Rio, Century Downtown and Regal Cottonwood.

Original Film Directed by René Cardona – 1959 Mexico.
2014 Riffing/Commentary provided by Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett – approximately 120m.

The stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 are back in select cinemas nationwide on Thursday, December 4 for a hilarious never-before-seen take on the colorful holiday film, Santa Claus.

Join Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett of RiffTrax for an uproarious riff on this Mexican exploitation movie of 1959!  This one-night event will be your only chance to see the guys fire their wisecracking commentary at Santa Claus on the big screen.

On December 24, Santa makes preparations for his yearly journey at his Toyland castle in space.  He plays the organ while his children helpers from all over the world sing.  Meanwhile, in Hell, Lucifer instructs his chief demon Pitch to travel to Earth and turn the children of the world against Santa.  In a busy marketplace, Pitch attempts to convince five children to “make Santa Claus angry”: Lupita, a poor girl; Billy, the son of wealthy but negligent parents; and three troublemaking brothers. Pitch fails at convincing Lupita to steal a doll from a vendor but succeeds in convincing the brothers to break a shop window.  Santa’s child workers alert him to these events.

Just in time for Christmas, RiffTrax Live is back with a riff that reminds us all, “you better watch out.”

Again, this special presentation takes place in Albuquerque at the Century Rio, Century Downtown and the Regal Cottonwood theaters.
