The Magic Christmas Tree

Lars Nilsen, host of The Alamo Drafthouse's Weird Wednesdays says:

Here it is: the evil holiday movie weve all secretly been waiting for. It made its producers wealthy men and turned a generation of children into santaphobic sociopaths. We are still paying the cost. Its a very strange film and were not sure why anyone would make it, but two words come to mind: Malicious Intent. Why else would the young hero be abducted by a witch and forced to uh, plant Satans magic seed in his backyard? The seed grows into a tree that gives him three wishes. Then the kid abducts Santa Claus, straps him to a chair and abuses him until he gets all the toys in the world. Plus theres a long race between a lawnmower and a turtle and more tomfoolery presided over by the powers of Darkness, including the appearance of a giant who says inappropriate things. We cannot be held responsible for any lasting trauma. (Lars)

I finally saw this again (for the first time since I was a small child) last Christmas at the Drafthouse in Austin, and it was the best time ever! This movie is hilarious with a fun crowd! It's an AWFUL movie, but so bad it's hilarious. I sooo wish it would come out on DVD!

It would be awesome if someone would post this movie! I've wanted to see it again since I was a little kid. I think I have it combined in my memory with something else. Maybe that old Jack Frost film they riffed on MST3K, the foreign one.
