Bitchfits live at Flashrock studio (4-15-2011) with an interview at the end. Feel free to skip the interview as nothing is on it that isn't already on their web page, just horrible character acting. Unlike the Misfats, they don't alter the lyrics to fit the theme of the band unfortunately.

Syngenor, 1990, sequel to Scared to Death, directed by George Elanjian Jr, starring David Gale (Re-Animator) and Kathryn Noble (The Delos Adventure). "Norton Cyberdyne provides high-tech military technology and their latest super weapon is "Syngenor" (SYNthesized GENetic ORganism). A prototype breaks loose and starts leaving a trial of bodies. As bodies pile up other Syngenors emerge from the basement and a battle rages between the monsters and the corporate humans." -- Wikipedia.

Ministry - "Same Old Madness" from With Sympathy, 1983. I think "Everyday is Halloween," the song they are most famous for now, is in line with this period of Ministry.

So, in the German Christmas tradition/mythology, particularly in areas surrounding the Alps, Santa has a demonic helper named Krampus who punishes those who have been naughty. Here's a video of a group of Krampus actually attacking random locals with large branches in South Tyrol, Italy.

Babes in Toyland (March of the Wooden Soldiers,  Laurel and Hardy in Toyland), 1934.

Based on Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta Babes in Toyland, the film was produced by Hal Roach, directed by Charles Rogers and Gus Meins, and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Originally filmed in black-and-white, the film is also shown in two computer colorized versions.

Released in 1934, Babes in Toyland was one of many feature films with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. After it appeared in theaters, it was re-released several times, but unfortunately, the title was constantly changed to make it seem to audiences that they were going to see a different film. Then it surfaced as a holiday movie on TV. Those who would see it, including critics, said it was a forgotten gem among the many movies of the 1930s and the best film of the Laurel and Hardy features.

The Star Wars Holiday Special, 1978, directed by Steve Binder.

The program also features many other Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa (who sings the film's "theme song", set to the music of John Williams' Star Wars theme, near the end). The program includes stock footage from Star Wars, and also features a cartoon produced by Toronto-based Nelvana that officially introduces the bounty hunter Boba Fett.

The special is notorious for its negative reception. Anthony Daniels, in a documentary promoting the worldwide tour of Star Wars: In Concert, notes with a laugh that the Star Wars universe includes "The horrible Holiday Special that nobody talks about". George Lucas did not have significant involvement with the film's production, and was unhappy with the results. David Acomba, a classmate of Lucas' at USC film school, had been selected to direct the special, but he chose to leave the project, a decision supported by Lucas.

The Star Wars Holiday Special has never been re-telecast or officially released on home video. It has therefore become something of a cultural legend, due to the "underground" quality of its existence. It has been viewed and distributed in off-air recordings made from its original telecast by fans, which were later adapted to content-sharing websites via the Internet.
