Horrible Movie Night presents "Santa with Muscles"!

[Horrible Movie Night]

Good lord!  Are we actually going to do this, and ruin the holidays for everyone?  Yes.

Allow us to present Hulk Hogan in 1996's "Santa with Muscles", a film so bad, the original screenwriter sued to have his name removed from the credits. This cheesy Christmas disaster features the Hulkster as a millionaire of questionable morals (a stretch --?) who, during a run from the law, is knocked out cold and wakes thinking he is Santa Claus. He somehow hooks up with an orphanage bedeviled by evil scientists (the head baddie is played by Ed Begley Jr.), and proceeds to do good. You will notice Mila Kunis as an orphan in one of her first film roles. But no rotten movie is complete without the inimitable Clint Howard! This one has got it all.

In deference to your busy December schedule, we have programmed HMN for a Thursday evening (we know your Saturdays are all taken up -- we checked). So instead of watching "FlashForward", come party with us and holler to your heart's content at one of the worst holiday movies you'll ever see.

Sounds like fun.

This movie is awful. I gave it away at a "white elephant" Christmas exchange a few years ago.

Fun fact: Not only does the movie have a young Mila Kunis, it also has Don Stark, who played "Bob" on "That '70s Show."

Not the worst Christmas movie ever, but it is certainly in the running.

Bob Stark!  He's the Brooklyn-est elf ever!  Don't forget Clint Howard!  He's in this stinker, too. 

Hope some of you L.A.-based folks can make it to the show.
