The house that the witch was sitting in front of when the film switches to color is actually a famous house that's in Beverly Hills. It's actually referred to as "The Witch House" and it's owned by a Hollywood director. I believe it was built by an artist. Notice how they weren't filming on the property, but were filming on the sidewalk? I have a feeling that they just showed up and filmed quickly on the sidewalk, using that house as a backdrop and left. The house itself is beautiful. There's a few articles about it and the inside is amazing and it has that fantasy theme all on the inside and in the yard as well.
vest816 What's really funny is that you know that the damn director took more footage of the house and desperately tried to associate the witch character to the house but probably couldn't get permission to actually use the property, hence the witch sitting awkwardly in a chair in the street instead of in her yard. It's also probably the reason that the house they use for when she's an old lady is an entirely different house. I recognized the Beverly Hills Witch House right away when I saw it. It's very blatant that they used it as the background for that one scene (because witch!). Like I said. You just know that there was more footage of that house shot that got cut for whatever reason.
This entire movie should have been a static shot of Ichabod the Turtle going about his business, it would've been a thousand times less creepy and more engaging.
The Sanitarium To quote Glenda the good witch, "Only bad witches are ugly", which is inacurate because Magrate Hamillton was fine as fuuuuuck in that green makeup.
Awww. Lloyd is just the cutest fluffy creature ever. He's lovely even in the cover art. By the way, I almost choked when you put the Fun in Balloon Land. for a second I though it was the same company.
As much as I was surprised that the tree could talk, I could actually hear It say "ouch" when the dad was trying to cut it down. I thought it was just a joke, I didn't think it could actually talk! lol Also, 60s Hagrid was creepy.
“Quit pinching my arm!” “I’m not going to hurt you, boy.” Were the script writers under the impression that pinching doesn’t hurt, and kids love being pinched? Was pinching universally recognized as not painful in the 60s? Was this script assembled line by line in different rooms by different writers, like the top-secret German joke translators in Monty Python’s “Funniest Joke in the World” sketch!?
HiperPivociarz, Mantis42b, Wait, was this really a thing, or am I just looking like an idiot on the Internet? Are we talking spiritual successor stuff here?
+paul nash ----If that makes you feel unusual, just wait until you check out the DVD... Cinema Snob: Nudies, Rudies, & Crudies! SPOILERS: Brad goes full frontal, and we see everything!
I still think you should just do a Rifftrax/MST3K Theme Month where you look at some movies they've done. I always love when you cover one of theirs just for the different perspectives alone.
03bgood This was the same year as Disney's "Mary Poppins" was released as well as the TV special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" came out and it was from Rankin/Bass.
everett von scott Unless you're so easily amused that you can be entertained by the jingling of car keys, the usual comedic pace of a MST3K episode is one laugh every 20 minutes and those 20 minutes are filled with watching an awful boring movie. Brad can make more funny jokes a minute than there are in a whole MST3K episode when he's on a roll. It's sad that Brad and many others deluded themselves into thinking that MST3K is some sort of genius masterpiece, especially since that means that we won't see actually funny and well done reviews of the movies MST3K has featured because reviewers don't touch them out of misguided reverence. The only thing MST3K deserves credit for is inspiring a generation of talented people like Brad to review movies in a way that's actually fun to watch.
It really does seem like a Halloween movie! It's gonna get really hilarious when Michael Meyers shows up and kills everyone for the witch because she's the leader of the Thorn cult!
lol, Idk, maybe. The Japanese seem to be quite eccentric. It's been a long time since I seen Godzilla's Revenge, that did sound like him right? Apparently a few people got the joke, I'm happy with that. :)
A Snob review of Godzilla's Revenge AKA All-Monster Attack would be quite fun - love that movie and movies with obnoxious kids usually lead to great CS stuff (Fun in Balloonland anyone ?). :D
Dude, this movie is creepy. Weird witches, talking trees, kidnapping Santa and almost getting kidnapped by a creepy giant! No child should be subjected to this. XD
My mom was 10 and my dad 12 in '64. It's weird to look at this kid and to think my dad was that age ever. Unfortunately, my kids don't think I was ever that age either. Circle of life.
Here's hoping you do Santa and The Ice Cream Bunny! Or any other MST3K/Rifftrax Christmas stories! (My personal favorite is Santa Claus vs. The Devil. I watch it every year)
The Rifftrax for this movie is superb, especially since it throws in some vintage commercials and a cartoon that has Santa Claus living in a shanty and making racist dolls.
MeganKoumori I wouldn go so far as to call it fan art. You're right about the origins, but this is a professionally made movie poster for a movie that's hard to believe is professionally made
Is that how you had to start a lawnmower back then? Christ! That looks absolutely exhausting. Thank you to whatever genius realised it would work better if the cord remained attached to the motor.
the sound effects in the background of the fire engine/pie man chase scene and lawnmower scene too is actually from The Wind in the Willows segment from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. I have a good ear for these kind of things.
Me too. I have noticed sounds from Doom in The Santa Clause (first rooftop landing) and whichever The Land Before Time movie has the T-rexes and Chomper or whatever.
Most appropriate reaction to give to this creeper-vibed Christmas flick... "What the child molesting fuck!?!" Awesome that you got Eric Freeman's autograph! Think he enjoyed the review? This is definitely up there on the list of fucked-up Christmas movies you've reviewed. Still think Ms. Velma is more bizarre, but the month is still young... And because I just can't resist making this joke... "My, your a long one Mr. Grinch!"
6:38 Lloyd: "Fuck you, this is my air vent."
"Oh, I'm full grown all right."
And then they banged... HARD.
Lloyd has an IMDB page...
My life is now complete.
23:03 "YOU"RE MY LITTLE BOY, NOW!"
Goddamn, Hagrid was hardcore in the prequels!
Thank goodness his hobbies turned to collecting creatures rather than children. Hogwarts would've been a lot different.
To quote Cinema Snob, "I'm sorry. I'm too old for you."
"You're my bitch, Harry!"
Magical Christmas trees? Just remember: you always win, when you are good!
Turns out Mrs Hopewell was a creepy camp genie the whole time!
In the grim darkness of the far future......there is only, YOU ALWAYS WIN WHEN YOU ARE GOOD!!!!!!

I just looked it up after reading this, out of curiosity. I love it. I know what home I'm imitating if I ever win the lottery.
Huh. Weird. Don't think I've ever left the RUclips comments section feeling more intellectually enriched. Seriously interesting little anecdote there, thanks.
vest816 What's really funny is that you know that the damn director took more footage of the house and desperately tried to associate the witch character to the house but probably couldn't get permission to actually use the property, hence the witch sitting awkwardly in a chair in the street instead of in her yard.

I knew that house looked familiar as I saw it in a vlog video with the Carpetbagger and Adam the Woo.
Lol, I couldn't place where I've seen that house. I used to pass that house on occasion back when I lived in LA County ages ago...
Lloyd's all like, "Who needs a onesie? Just sleep right on the heating vent!"
This entire movie should have been a static shot of Ichabod the Turtle going about his business, it would've been a thousand times less creepy and more engaging.
You made your cat an IMDB page? Marry me
this is one of, if not the best comment on a video I've ever seen.
For those curious, you can search for "Lloyd (VII)" on IMDb. He's also known as "Realistic Lloyd." :)
BACK OFF!!!!! he's MINE!!!!!.......😡
The turtle was the best part of the whole movie.
Not gonna lie, my heart fucking melted when I saw Lloyd.
"mrowr!"
I appreciated that balloon land reference
“Cut that shit out, I’ll never have fun in Balloonland”
He's so gay!
I think the words "All Live!" either refer to the film's being live action or to the film's actors' surviving the experience.
Surviving the filming of a 1950s movie was quite a feat and DEFINITELY worth bragging about.......
Whenever one of those kids says something, my mind always adds a "Duuuuurrrrrrr" at the end.
6:36 "Cause Of Death: Cuteness Overdose"
Royal Silva 6:38-6:40 such a cute no
JudasPriest9878 That was like saying "okay Google" setting off phones for cat owners
No wait! I'm allergic to adorableness!
His meow makes me squeal!!!! So cute!!
I wanna pet Lloyd.
He is always distractingly adorable
Any mention of Lloyd makes any video of his even better than the excellence they normally aspire to. Yay, Lloyd!
This was actually released on VHS by GoodTimes Entertainment in 1992. It's completely useless now.
Well, it's a good thing Brad spared Phelous from having to review this monstrosity.
@@ExplorerDS6789 he........still will anyway........let's face it........
@@megatron6713 ...Breakfast is ruined?
The question isn't wether she's a witch: it's wether she's a good witch, or a bad witch.
That adorable Lloyd reaction shot sums up my reaction to this movie.
You got an autograph from Eric Freeman? Awesome! :D
Go to my channel on RUclips. Look at Eric's poster video. Damon
it's garbage day
Remember kids! If you're ugly, you are a witch!!
The Sanitarium And according to a movie poster, witches are evil.
+Eren Jaegar basically, yeah!
If that's the case I'm glad I haven't melted yet.
On the bright side, if you did turn out to be a witch it'd require only minimal changes to your username.
The Sanitarium To quote Glenda the good witch, "Only bad witches are ugly", which is inacurate because Magrate Hamillton was fine as fuuuuuck in that green makeup.
Awww. Lloyd is just the cutest fluffy creature ever. He's lovely even in the cover art.
By the way, I almost choked when you put the Fun in Balloon Land. for a second I though it was the same company.
The audio fuckup followed by the tree appearing in the house completely silently is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.
"I'm too old for you..." Can I have a tee shirt with that and the Cinema Snob's angry/disgusted face. That... is priceless.
Awww, it's not that Christmas tree movie. The one with the awesomely evil Mrs. Mevilda.
Brian Moore Dont forget about Pappy...the young child.
And what about Licorice? Or Mrs. Hopewell? Or the Mayor that only paid money bags?
PUT THE BALLOON LAND BACK IN THE BALLOON LAND.

"Please like us Fatty," one of my favorite lines from the Rifftrax version of this movie
Lloyd is adorable!
*Tuna time sound*
Lloyd: Noooooo!
4:13 That Ren & Stimpy/Spongbob music.
They use that because it’s in public domain
This movie needs more
"Garbage day!!!"
Could make better use with either Old Man or Fat Grandma.
No, what this movie needs is a full 3 hour scene of the dad trying to start the lawnmower.
Fucking RIGHT. More Caldwell
4:56-5:00 cat says “I ain’t your slave! I’m a free black man! Martin Luther Kitty Jr. said that all men are created meow!”
"Why is the magic christmas tree also a giant who collects child slaves??!!"
LOLZ. Oh CInema Snob...
As much as I was surprised that the tree could talk, I could actually hear It say "ouch" when the dad was trying to cut it down. I thought it was just a joke, I didn't think it could actually talk! lol
Also, 60s Hagrid was creepy.
Goddamn it, The Lawnmower Man didn't have this much lawn mowing!
6:36 I would pay top dollar to hear Lloyd speak again.
This movie seemed to have little to do with Christmas as Thumbelina had little to do with Santa Claus or ice cream bunnies.
I love you, Cinema Snob. There, I said it. Just seeing a new video of yours waiting to be watched, brings me immense happiness.
This is the Manos: the Hands of Fate of Christmas movies and no torgo!
I'm surprised the guy who did "A Talking Cat!" hasn't done a remake of this
Holy shit you actually found him!? Holy fucking shit, tell him to make more movies!
Dad determines family by those who survive his murder attempts.
"I am... the Christmas Tree................ blughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Rob Shnieder is now A Talking Tree!?! Derpity Derpity Derp De Derp Derpity.
Rated PG-13.
weak......
Derpity Dippty Dum dip de day Derp da
And he's about to find out that being a tree is harder than it looks!
Da derp dee derp da teetley derpee derpee dumb
“Quit pinching my arm!”
“I’m not going to hurt you, boy.”
Were the script writers under the impression that pinching doesn’t hurt, and kids love being pinched? Was pinching universally recognized as not painful in the 60s? Was this script assembled line by line in different rooms by different writers, like the top-secret German joke translators in Monty Python’s “Funniest Joke in the World” sketch!?
Mark is actually a horror from goosebumps, remember they hate pinching.
Is this the Stranger Things prequel "they" didn't want us to see?
Isn't Stranger things already a sequel?
yea but no one remembers the original Strange Things because it wasn't on Netflix
HiperPivociarz, Mantis42b, Wait, was this really a thing, or am I just looking like an idiot on the Internet? Are we talking spiritual successor stuff here?
Wait, I think I might be wrong. I though that it's like with Full house and Fuller house xD If it's not a sequel then why not jusr Strange things!?
Although it might be a gritty reboot of Eerie, Indiana xD
I'm kinda jealous that you own that signed poster.
The image of The Snob with an erection is now burned into my mind forever. I feel unusual, I may have to go lie down...
;)
+paul nash ----If that makes you feel unusual, just wait until you check out the DVD... Cinema Snob: Nudies, Rudies, & Crudies!
SPOILERS:
Brad goes full frontal, and we see everything!
Jacob Crawford Wut?
ajmrowland you can see his dick
I don't recall. the DVD is downstairs if y'all want me to make the sacrifice
Lloyd has such pretty eyes.
I still think you should just do a Rifftrax/MST3K Theme Month where you look at some movies they've done. I always love when you cover one of theirs just for the different perspectives alone.
Lol, when you said "fuck your damn mower", I actually said "Too Right" out loud to myself. 😆
This was made in 1964 but it look more like it was made in 1954.
03bgood This was the same year as Disney's "Mary Poppins" was released as well as the TV special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" came out and it was from Rankin/Bass.
Yeah, it also was the same year my mother was born and when The Beatles came on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Yes, but those two projects had effort, and were made by people who really cared about the product.
. Such strange visuals of this movie makes unbelievable that it came out the same year as those 2 films you mentioned.
I love Lloyd :3. He needs to be in more videos
"Dad is not used to having such a long, hard piece of wood in the house." Daynggg, oh snap.
Don't forget the magic words! Klaatu Barada Nikto
How great would a Cinema Snob MST3K crossover be?
Spyro Fan Pretty great. add a couple more internet critics in there, and it could be fucking awesome.
Hell, even a visit on the Hexfield Viewscreen would be awesome.
Why would you want that? MST3K is slow-paced and unfunny compared to Snob episodes. Besides crossovers suck balls 99% of the time.
+ser6Ijvolk "MST3K is slow-paced and unfunny" I've never seen a more wrong opinion.

That Fun In Balloon Land reference killed me.
Happy December Brad!!
It really does seem like a Halloween movie! It's gonna get really hilarious when Michael Meyers shows up and kills everyone for the witch because she's the leader of the Thorn cult!
Giant: “you know me boy. You know *me* *well* 😏”
Me: “ Paul Bunyan?! O.O”
Lloyd has his own IMDB page?! That's cool!
"Garbage Day!(Boom-maniacal laugh gun twirl combo)" sweeps the Oscars
Nice!!! Thanks for making my shitty Monday better.
12:15 The problem is, Gabara is stuck in your mower.
Shit, does that mean this movie was just the dream of a young Japanese school boy too?
lol, Idk, maybe. The Japanese seem to be quite eccentric. It's been a long time since I seen Godzilla's Revenge, that did sound like him right? Apparently a few people got the joke, I'm happy with that. :)
A Snob review of Godzilla's Revenge AKA All-Monster Attack would be quite fun - love that movie and movies with obnoxious kids usually lead to great CS stuff (Fun in Balloonland anyone ?). :D
He already did one a few years back (sorry if you already knew that)
oh shit Magical Halloween in December!
That lawnmower sounds possessed... maybe it's the same one from that Gumby cartoon that came alive and chased the animated people around the park.
Man, the Twilight Zone Christmas specials got WEIRD.
Dude, this movie is creepy. Weird witches, talking trees, kidnapping Santa and almost getting kidnapped by a creepy giant! No child should be subjected to this. XD
Oh, your cat is so sweet!
My mom was 10 and my dad 12 in '64. It's weird to look at this kid and to think my dad was that age ever. Unfortunately, my kids don't think I was ever that age either. Circle of life.
16:45 - The tree's voice sounds like a bad John Wayne impression. xD
Here's hoping you do Santa and The Ice Cream Bunny! Or any other MST3K/Rifftrax Christmas stories! (My personal favorite is Santa Claus vs. The Devil. I watch it every year)
Happy Holidays, Snob!!
The Rifftrax for this movie is superb, especially since it throws in some vintage commercials and a cartoon that has Santa Claus living in a shanty and making racist dolls.
Who doesn't like meatloaf? A meatloaf sandwich sounds delish!
Yeah but cold/Room Temperature?
Bluto? Try the Giant from Mickey's "The Brave Little Tailor." No really, that's totally him. A shitty fan art version, but there's no doubt it's him.
MeganKoumori I wouldn go so far as to call it fan art. You're right about the origins, but this is a professionally made movie poster for a movie that's hard to believe is professionally made
So.....I guess Krampus has a giant, leather-clad barbarian cousin who enslaves greedy children? That's.....actually kind of awesome.
That's the first time I heard Lloyd meow.
Is that how you had to start a lawnmower back then? Christ! That looks absolutely exhausting. Thank you to whatever genius realised it would work better if the cord remained attached to the motor.
OMG the Ichabod IMDB page freakin killed me XD
ice cream bunny. oh god i understood that reference
You know, that movie is actually in the public domain.
Pete Hill The movie is in the Internet Archive, but I wish someone hasn't posted the full movie on RUclips yet.
I hope it shows up on MST3K at some point I think that film would break any captive test subjects mind
I wish I didnt, the the sweat stains >< noooo run me over like they nearly did the dog , end my suffering!!!!
I saw it when the Rifftrax crew covered it. There are no words. Garbled noises maybe.
Where did he get that Grinch onzie? I one it. I need it.
Freya Mikaelson I think Walmart sells it
23:08 "You ARE my little boy!"
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
the sound effects in the background of the fire engine/pie man chase scene and lawnmower scene too is actually from The Wind in the Willows segment from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. I have a good ear for these kind of things.
Me too. I have noticed sounds from Doom in The Santa Clause (first rooftop landing) and whichever The Land Before Time movie has the T-rexes and Chomper or whatever.
16:43 That was a bad time to take a drink, I almost bloody choked.
All wrapped up in holiday colour after the first 20 minutes of course
Eric "The Garbage Man" Freeman. Catchy. :)
It's talking, Merry... the tree is talking...
Snob, you gotta review SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS next.
you're a review making machine brad keep it up man
Lloyd is so fucking sweet!
I LOVE LLOYD!!
Most appropriate reaction to give to this creeper-vibed Christmas flick... "What the child molesting fuck!?!"
Awesome that you got Eric Freeman's autograph! Think he enjoyed the review?
This is definitely up there on the list of fucked-up Christmas movies you've reviewed. Still think Ms. Velma is more bizarre, but the month is still young...
And because I just can't resist making this joke... "My, your a long one Mr. Grinch!"
This movie's setting looks more like the '50s than the '60s.
That poster rules!
Did you get that signed at a convention or something?
Oh my gracious... the voice of that tree is similiar to the Bull in Ms Velma's Christmas in America...
"If Christmas is mentioned in Winter's Tale." HA! I see what you did there.
This movie was a staple of my childhood and a Christmas Tradition of mine and my brother ^_^;
Kinda weird seeing it again...
So Lloyd doesn't like tuna huh? Am I the only one who imagined that meow meant "fuck off!" seriously?
"This is Christmas in AMERICA!!"
