Our Next Feature Presentation: The Stuff (10/12)

Join Us Saturday, October 12th @ ~8:00PM (US/EDT) Here: http://cytu.be/r/TroperCoven


For the uninitiated... A contingent of tropers (mostly from across America) holds regular get-togethers over the Interwebs on this site called Synchtube which lets individuals, such as ourselves, open and join in text-based chatrooms within typical web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, et. al.) that allow the chat participants to view YouTube videos in synchronization with everyone else present (without even needing to set up an account)... and we've decided to use said chatrooms to play cheeseball webvideos and feature-length movies found in the public domain which stretch all the way from letters B to Z, which everyone subsequently riffs on a la MST3K.

For over EIGHT years, everybody who gets involved mostly finds good enjoymentnote  in calling out tropes that are recognized in the videos and stories and coming up with jokes to fling back at whatever's happening on the screen, many of which turn into various in-jokes and running gags (a Coven Glossary is kept and maintained for everyone's help and convenience HERE) to repeat in the chat.

We're always looking for new ways to better coordinate and expand our activities and are more than happy to welcome newcomers interested in joining our gatherings.

Alright, our holly jolly season continues with (as requested) a revisitation of diabolical mastermind K. Gordon Murray's English-dubbed acquisition of the Mexican "fairy tale" movie Santa Claus (aka Santa Claus vs. The Devil).

If you've seen it here before, you know what's in store. If not, then expect to see some weirdass shit.

Isn't there an Asylum film called Santa vs. Satan?

Alright, we continue with a winter-themed horror short film from Japan (I think).

Then, at the top of the coming hour, we revisit K. Gordon Murray's haunting Santa Claus!

About time we gave this one a night in coven court.

One year after arriving on our end of the Atlantic, here comes a Christmas-themed zombie movie... that is also a musical. This can only go one of two ways; either it blows us all away, or it just simply blows. In any event, I'm holding high expectations for Anna and the Apocalypse...

I ordered a bunch of parts to construct a new computer. They apparently have all arrived today by now.

So at some point soon, I'll have to have tech people put my new computer together, and I don't know how long that will take. So I'll be out then.

Alright, we got some Christmas horror short films and some other stuff.

Then, at the top of the coming hour, we make heads or tales out of Anna and the Apocalypse.

Hey speaking of "Santa Slashers," is one movie that's possible for this or next year the live action version of Year Without a Santa Clause that I've heard through the grapevine is horrendous?

Everybody knows Heaven is a place on Earth, but so is Hell! It's true, look it up.

[up]EDIT: I'm not actually familiar with this at all, but I'll try to look into it.

Okay, we're kicking off with a... Smurfs Christmas Special. There you go.

Then, at the top of the coming hour... All Through the House, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Masked Santa killer gonna be killing people!

Once again, I want to revisit The Kid Who Loved Christmas. This is what watching WPIX-11's old "8 O'Clock Movie" when you were 8-years old does to you.

It's probably the only sentimental holiday movie that I actually still like...

[up] Oh wow. We have to watch that! Just skipping around looked entertaining, and it has zero dislikes (91 likes) and lots of comments saying how hilariously bad it is.

[up][up]I'm totally down for this!

Anyway, first up, Richard Ayoade is "Gadget Man," and he's here to guide us through this Christmas Season.

Then, at the top of the coming hour, we get sentimental with TV-moviedom's most lovable orphan in The Kid Who Loved Christmas.

We may have to take tonight off, seeing that both Bonsai and I are unavailable, but we'll see if we can work anything out when I get back from work in the early afternoon.

Okay, Santa's got pet and food allergies, and it's time for some "talking" kittens to save Christmas.

We're revisiting Santa Claws.

They talk like Garfield talks - psychically!

If Santa has food and pet allergies, how is he still alive?!

[up]Garfield isn't "psychic." He simply understands the full context of Jon's life in plain English without being able to speak it.

Anyway, we're starting off with a grab bag of Christmas-themed video content from Dunkey, cRiT1KaL, and Everything is Terrible... capped off with a wonderful video from Dean Learner himself—Richard Ayoade as "Gadget Man."

Then, at the top of the coming hour, we pay a long overdue holiday revisit to Santa Claws—not the abysmal slasher flick from the 90's from "That One Guy Involved with Night of the Living Dead Who is Also Responsible for Children of the Living Dead" but the abysmal family flick from The Asylum. THE FUCKING ASYLUM!

Garfield comics always portrayed the animals as talking by thinking. Even inanimate objects could think/talk to each other. As a kid I found that interesting.

Sometimes Jon could hear Garfield's thoughts/speech, sometimes he couldn't.

Tonight, we revisit Bill Goldberg as Santa Claus... in a movie that reveals Santa to be the Son of Satan, and he's finished with spreading yuletide cheer.

It's Santa's Slay!

SeanMurrayI Since: Jan, 2010
#22271: Dec 21st 2019 at 4:30:15 PM

Okay, hop on in with more holiday hijinks featuring... Beavis and Butthead.

Then, at the top of the coming hour, Bill Goldberg is spreading a little yuletide fear in Santa's Slay!

We got quite a bit of festive horror flicks these last few days before Christmas.

Tonight, we revisit the wonderful seasonal anthology film from the makers of Ginger Snaps: A Christmas Horror Story, featuring Canada's greatest citizen, William Shatner.

SeanMurrayI Since: Jan, 2010
#22273: Dec 22nd 2019 at 4:31:06 PM

Hop in early for a grab bag of holiday/winter material.

Then, at the top of the coming hour, sit back and let a drunk William Shatner talk us through A Christmas Horror Story!

We're saving the worst for last, as we inch ever closer to Christmas Day.

Tonight, brace yourselves for the unparalleled acting of one Eric "Garbage Day" Freeman in Silent Night Deadly Night, Part 2.

To paraphrase Brad Jones, it's half of a movie that actually feels like watching two movies.
