Holiday in handcuffs, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Santa fights Satan, Santa goes postal, Santa throws down with evil oil companies and other yuletide joy
We will rap up our look at bad made for television Christmas movie promos from YouTube with a new one from this current season, Holiday in Handcuffs from ABC Family. Melissa Joan Hart kidnaps Mario Lopez and takes him home to her parents Timothy Bottoms and Markie Post, along with grandma June Lockhart. That casting list is just throwing a bunch of washed up TV stars' names in a hat and picking at random. I've always dug Hart though and she does look good here.
The Santa Clause (1994): Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is a toy executive who accidentally kills Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. He and his son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) take over to deliver all the presents. However, by putting on the red coat of Santa, Calvin is the new Santa Claus and is briefed of his duties by Bernard the head elf (David Krumholtz). Calvin doesn't want the job, but he has no choice as he gets fat, grows a beard he can't shave and smells like cookies. Hell, that's me now. He eventually accepts the role, but Charlie's mom (Wendy Crewson) and step dad (Judge Reinhold) think Scott is cracking up and is making Charlie crazy too.
