"Santa Claus" (1959): Leave it Rene Cardona to give us a kiddie movie where Santa Claus teams up with Merlin the Magician to battle Satan. Throw in crazy dream sequences about life-size dancing dolls, hallucinogenic cocktails, child toy-making slaves and the creepiest wind-up reindeer ever imagined, and the result is a crackpot Christmas classic sure to psychically scar children and adults alike. — ALONSO DURALDE
