A Visit To Santa - a public domain DivX short - now available!

[torgosPizza]

Just in time for the holidays, RiffTrax presents our take on A Visit to Santa, a Christmas short of unknown origin that most probably was the result of Santa's short-lived collaboration with the producing team of Screwtape and Wormwood. Rather than being a right jolly old elf, Santa here is depicted as the Dark Prince of a vast slave empire made up entirely of children under 10 - it's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with less dignified clothing. Or put another way it's Manos: The Hands of Fate without the elephantiasis!

Mike, Kevin and Bill fall on it like a Christmas goose in a brand new downloadable video!  http://shop.rifftrax.com/ondemand/visit-santa

Ok, I give. I wasn't going to try the DIVX stuff due to not having a compatible DVD player other than my pc, but you've talked me into it. Off into the wild blue yonder!!!

All three guys enjoyed doing it, and everyone loves shorts. So you can expect more of these in the future.

For anyone who is unsure how the DivX process works...

- Install the DivX player on your computer and create a DivX account the first time you launch the player (its free)
- Purchase the short and download the .tix file from RiffTrax
- Double click the .tix file and you will see the SantaRiff DivX file downloading. It downloads to the My Video's folder in My Documents.
- You can play it while its downloading or wait till it completes.
- If you have a DVD player that supports DivX you can burn the DivX file to a CD or DVD with Nero as a "Data Disc".
Otherwise, watch the SantaRiff on your computer with the DivX player.

Stop making this DivX thing worth my while, will ya?  I'm trying to avoiding buying new hardware.

I'll download it, and I'll even like it.  But I won't like liking it!

Any chance we'll see these types of things put out on DVD one day?

And Holly! Well in picture form anyway.

And Holly! Well in picture form anyway.

And yet again she's not wearing pants!

Won't somebody please buy this girl some nice trousers for Christmas?  Dungarees, knickers, jodhpurs, whatever.  I know this is San Diego, but even in warm climes, people shouldn't have to be lower-body-coverage-deprived.

I think the short is 12 or 13 minutes. And with regard to seeing a collection of shorts on DVD ... maybe. We'll see what the future holds.

I had to swap out the faces of the other models... wasn't authorized to use them.
