If You Think This Image Is Campy, You Should See The Complete Film--Christmas Horror Image #10--The Gay Devil From The 1959 K. Gordon Murray Film, "Santa Claus!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                               "Santa Claus" was a 1959 Mexican made Christmas film, which producer K. Gordon Murray appropriated for release in the United States. It was shown every year at Christmas, as matinee screenings, during my Sixties childhood.

                                   I did not see it till much later, but, oh, my God, it had the gayest devil one has ever seen!   If you can't tell he is gay from the picture, you have got to see the film.  When he goes over the little Mexican girl, Lupita, the poor child does not know whether to be frightened or amused.

                                     Along with this camp, the production design is like a Technicolor dream fantasy, imagined by Georges  Melies.  It has that stunning quality.

                                      Oh, hons, this devil is a hoot!  He makes the whole thing fun!

                                       But Santa DOES triumph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
