Have yourself a scary little Christmas with HMN and "Elves"!

Every Christmas it's the same --

-- we always wind up playing a shepherd, and we think the previous year's Christmas movie can't be topped.  How do you get any worse than "Santa with Muscles" or "Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny"?  We'll tell you how -- with a little lump of coal from 1989 titled, "Elves".  We considered not even writing a full description of the movie, and let one line speak for the entire event:

"I want to know the connection between the elves and the Nazis."

What, you haven't broken out your wallet in a frenzy to buy a ticket?  OK, fine.  "Elves" is a jaunty holiday tale of a long-dormant Nazi plot to engineer an army of supermen by having an elf creature mate with a human virgin on Christmas Eve.  The only spanner in the works is Mike McGavin, an ex-cop turned department store Santa (played by "Grizzly Adams" star Dan Haggerty), who insinuates himself into the action to save the virgin, save Christmas, and save the human race.

Place your bets! Tiffany Vs. Debbie Gibson, or Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid?

Either way, you win!

Hello, HMN faithful.  As heady excitement grows about the turkey coma soon to engulf you, we at HMN only dream of the turkey coma this month's movie put us in during the vetting process.  For November, allow us to present the reptili-gorical cinematic experience that is "Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid".

A relative newcomer to the field, it was released this year (2011) directly onto the SyFy Network.  Aside from the title characters, it also features 80s pop singers Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.  Debbie plays an animal activist trying to save native Everglades reptiles from harm.  Tiffany plays a sheriff charged with protecting said Everglades from animal activists.  All that goes out the window when giant snakes start showing up and devouring people.  Both women reluctantly team up to defend against the renegade snakes, and the genetically-engineered gators created to fight them.  Phew!


We are pleased as chum to have members of the cast & crew agree to come down to the show for some alligator soufflĂ© -- actors Bobby Ray Shafer (in his second triumphant appearance at HMN), Kaiwi Lyman, and Kevin Horton will join us for a Q & A after the film. It's gonna be mega.

This show is sponsored by our good friends at The Asylum -- the studio behind the film.  Go to their store and buy some fun stuff!  As always, The Omelettes will be on hand to scramble up some tasty improv based on scenes from the movie, and your suggestions!  And you yourself could walk home with a prize, if you come up with the best one-liner of the evening, that is.  So arrive funny!

Tickets are available now now now!  This will be a popular show, so git 'em now while they're still there to git.  Follow the link to our PayPal site for your purchase.


Keep super up-to-date with us via Facebook and Twitter -- we hope to be adding more actors, and extra   surprises as the weeks go along.  We'll look forward to seeing you at the theater!

Chomp,

HMN
