On Christmas Eve, Santa is playing with his organ in his crystal Toyland space castle filled with alarmingly erotic machines, which he shares with fellow beardy child-botherer Merlin the Magician. Meanwhile, down in Hell, Lucifer dispatches a demon named Pitch to dispose of Santa and make all the world’s rug-rats do evil. Mr. Christmas ain’t gonna take this threat to festivities lying down, and promptly unleashes a toy cannon upon the demon’s bottom. Santa movies don’t get much weirder than this curio, which is also known as Santa Claus vs The Devil. It’s just one of a number of Mexican flicks redubbed by US producer K. Gordon Murray in the 1950s and unleashed on American audiences with such splendid titles as Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters, The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummy and Samson vs. The Vampire Women.
The Cube’s charity screening in association with Cigarette Burns Cinema is in aid of Mexican cinema archive Permanencia Voluntaria Archivo Cinematográfico. This is located in Tepoztlan – one of the many cities and towns that were devastated by September’s earthquake
