Synopsis
Santa Claus (1959) is a Mexican Christmas fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by René Cardona. In this one Santa doesn't live at the North Pole — he runs a cloud-borne castle in space and faces off against a little demon sent to wreck the holiday.
Lucifer dispatches an imp named Pitch to turn the world's children against Santa and ruin Christmas for good. Santa fights back with help from Merlin the wizard, a workshop full of strange mechanical toys, and a giant telescope that lets him spy on kids everywhere. Pitch schemes, sabotages and tempts; Santa keeps slipping the trap. José Elías Moreno stars in the title role.
The movie long ago became a cult curiosity — its dream-logic plot, bizarre sets and gleeful weirdness earned it a second life as a so-bad-it's-good favorite. It's a perfect pick for fans of naive vintage cinema and oddball holiday viewing. Stream Santa Claus (1959) online on iFILM.
