this be perhaps the creepy display of santa claus ever commit to any medium and whether it be a book and a picture and or a movie . santa look like a perv look down on the child and the twisted story of bring merlin in to help him defeat one of satan minion and pitch and doesn not make thing any good . it laughable to say the least and with bad effect and even for 1959 standard . if a kid be to watch this movie and he would have nightmare and never want santa to visit . they would be scar for life . imagine the kid in a christmas story when they start scream after be put on santa lap . that how this would turn out if kid see this movie .
