The Magic Christmas Tree
Every year I usually take John Waters’ suggestion and have a Christmas Horror Movie Marathon at my place. Unfortunately this year, because of all the stress of having to find an apartment before January 1st, I haven’t been able to plan it, and now I’m sure everyone is out of town and there’s no point. So I’ve decided to post a bunch of insane clips from films that I would show at this year’s Marathon. This year, I’d already decided to show more weird and scary children’s Christmas movies than Horror ones. Many of these Christmas movies are scarier than the films like Silent Night, Deadly Night!
Case in point, “The Magic Christmas Tree” :
The Christmas Tree sounds like it was voiced by the slightly butcher but no less bitchy half-brother of Paul Lynde. And the little doltish boy gets his Christmas magic, and then uses it to recreate half-assed Keystone Kops and 3 Stooges routines for himself in real life. I guess he’s a 1920’s silent-film enthusiast.
For more insane 1960’s Children’s Christmas movies, that look like they were conceived on a fair amount of Christmas LSD, check these trailers out:
I’ll be posting even more insane Christmas crap for you over the next few days, so keep checking back!
