Check. Significant portion of the story dedicated to the impersonation and/or rescue of santa clause? check. yes the aesthetic is rife with halloween related imagery but that's part of the point. set aside the aesthetic entirely. If it's viewed as a halloween movie, then it's a fuckin shit halloween movie because halloween is over IN THE INTRO. --- "Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized." <cite>Gremlynn posted [p:969113307] in Tim Burton...
