I may be a little late on this one but the band Sloppy Seconds does a great cover of Hooray for Santa Claus on their Lonely Christmas EP.
ReplyDeleteWhen we showed this at the Bakersfield Alternative Movie Society, people were cracking wise -- and then everybody LEFT! This thing can clear an auditorium in no time flat!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is why you only show the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version.
ReplyDeleteMy father says he actually went to the theater and saw this when he was in second grade.
It explains so much.
Keep up the good work.
The Wham-O Air Blasters painted black used as Martian ray guns in this abortion-on-film always make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteFor a while, 30 years ago, I lived next door to the son of Nick Webster, who directed this movie. (The young man's aunt was one of the vampire brides in the Lugosi DRACULA) He had visited the set while it was being shot, when he was only 8 years old. He noticed that the airlock doors on the space ship had big slits above them into the arch around them. The kid asked the set designer about them, and the designer crowed about how cool and outer-spacey they looked. The kid then pointed out the obvious fact that had utterly escaped the idiot designer, that the slits would mean all the air in the ship would be sucked out into space, and everyone aboard would die. The designer couldn't actually say: "Shut up and go away, smart ass," because the kid was his boss's son, but it was clear he didn't like being made to look like a pinhead by an 8 year old who was clearly smarter than he was.
