It's 42 days until Christmas. The annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade is this coming Sunday. People are slowly getting into the spirit of the holiday season. Television stations start playing Christmas movies or sitcom themed episodes. The stores promote Christmas dvd movies in their weekly flyers.
I just have to say this... or better yet... warn you to NOT watch "The Munsters Scary Little Christmas" if you are over the age of 12 or were/are a fan of the original television show from the 1960's.
This was a made for tv movie back in 1996. I bought this movie last year, never aware of it before, and may have had some kind of high expectations. What a let down! I mean, I should have realized the original cast would not be in it. Duh! The actors do a very poor job of trying re-enact the magic of the original cast/show. This had to have been produced on an incredibly low budget as well... one can easily tell by the set(s). There also is a problem with the audio transfer, if that is what it is called... the movie was made in English but the words do not follow mouth movements, making it seem like a badly dubbed foreign flick.
I barely remember the movie now. It was that bad and that forgettable.
Walmart is advertising it for $11.88 this weekend in the flyer... don't waste your time. If you choose to do so anyway, don't say I didn't warn you.
That's sacrilege to the Munsters! Even the pix look bad!
