...as soon as I saw your name in this thread, I could have swore I knew EXACTLY what you were going to say.

Even though it's not horror, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is utterly fantastic. Watched it at some point near the last two Christmases - it's awful in every way, but so wonderfully entertaining.
