This year's selection is a Canadian flick with a space-age theme called "The Christmas Martian." It takes place in a small town in Quebec province, where bizarre things have been happening. Residents have been seeing strange objects in the sky at night. A local shopkeeper sees an odd-looking character stumble into his store, wolf down a bunch of snacks and run away. A taxi driver sees a funny-looking woman come out of a phone booth and fly off into the air. As the grown-ups begin to investigate, Frankie and Kathy discover strange looking tracks in the snow while out looking for a Christmas tree. The tracks lead them to a spaceship and a visiting Martian wearing a fishnet stocking on his face who tempts them with candy and introduces them to a world beyond our own. As Frankie and Kathy get to know their new friend, the adults in town make a muck out of everything — and on Christmas, of all days!
The story is bizarre, the dialogue is tacky, the special effects are awful — it's just the sort of thing you'd expect of our Boxing Day Horror Show!
The full video is no longer available on YouTube, but you can catch it for free for a limited time on Tubi, right HERE.
To set the stage, here's a review of what you're in for. Don't say we didn't warn you!
