* SoBadItsGood: As bizarre as the movie is, the surrealness actually gives it a bit of charm. At the very least you won't be bored watching it, and you're unlikely to see anything quite the same as it ever again.

* SoBadItsGood: As bizarre as What was supposed to be harmless fun to introduce Mexican kids to Santa ended up becoming the Trope Namer-by-proxy for NightmareFuel thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movie is, tells the story of a HumanAlien Santa from AnotherDimension battling demons through {{Slapstick}} and the help of Merlin and a supply of advanced surveillance equipment that would make the Illuminati hang their heads in shame. Still, the surrealness actually gives does give it a bit certain amount of charm. At the very least you won't be bored watching it, and you're unlikely to ever see anything quite the same as it ever again.

** The kids from India appear to be making rifles, which can be rather sobering after everything with the War on Terror near that region.

* FridgeHorror: One child writes Santa Claus a letter asking for a little brother. Santa puts it in a box and says "here's one for you, Mr. Stork." Writing a letter to Santa can get your mom pregnant...

** The kids from India appear to be making rifles... seeing as how the war on terrorism has broken out near that reigion as of this edit, presumably that was a sick joke from the future.
** The mere existence of children with real-looking toy guns is this. Almost all of the groups at least have them.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The "Atomic Laboratory" requested in one child's letter to Santa is actually a real thing. It refers to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_Laboratory the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory]], a child's chemistry set which included a small sample of (mostly) depleted Uranium-238. Due to the potential for radiation poisoning (and even more so the extremely hefty price tag [[note]]It retailed for $49.50 in 1950, the equivalent of $488 in today's dollars[[/note]]), the lab was not a commercial success unlike Gilbert's other offerings and was on the market for only about a year in 1950-51. Still the sheer WTF-ery of the idea made it a popular meme up to today.

* MoralEventHorizon: Pitch crosses it near the end at one of two points: When he taunts Lupita in her sleep about never having a doll because she didn't steal one, leaving her in tears when she wakes up and cries for her mother. Or when he intends to leave Santa stranded on earth so that he will ''die.''
