Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons (1992)

Calvin is the weirdest little kid, since he seems to enjoy winter as much as the rest of us enjoyed summer break. His priorities are all about nailing Susie with as many slushballs as possible, getting away with being a bad boy and still being on Santa’s “good list,” and building an army of deranged snowmen - which is the opposite of what I wanted to do during winter as a child (sipping hot cocoa by the fire with a good book, if you must know). He sure seems to have a lot of fun with it, even if it causes him some philosophical problems (can one get away with being bad, since Santa can’t possibly be able to monitor all children at all times) and gets him into major trouble with his parents. If we can learn anything from Calvin’s high-jinx, it’s that if you’re going to build snowgoons, make sure that your imagination isn’t quite so vivid that you hallucinate that they’re really coming to life and therefore have to stay up all night icing them into submission!
