05/04/2004: A Christmas Story 2: Ralphie Goes To Hell.

Ralphie from A Christmas Story makes a devilish deal in Ralphie Goes To Hell, a wild thrillcoaster that’ll take the ovaltine drinkin’ holiday icon straight to the lair of Pinhead and the Cenobites.  It’s not the Chia Plot, but hey look new article.

I’ll be back in a bit, with a super jumbo-sized blog entry.  It’s actually a full length article that I’m pulling off deck.  Just didn’t think there’s enough to it to warrant the main page treatment, but that’s part of what this section is for, ain’t it?  It ain’t?  By the way, I have fleas.

Finally… i got sick of those stupid Tamagotchi’s glaring at me when i opened the main page. FOIST POST!

Man you got to be fucked up to make a Hellraiser/Christams story crossover.  Good job Matt!

Did any of those hellraiser figures come with the puzzle box?

Chestnuts roasted by Bright Noah @ 05/04/2004 11:49 PM EDT


Pinhead does.  There’s also a full-sized (but cheap, as it comes in parts) puzzle box for sale on its own.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/04/2004 11:50 PM EDT


So… where is the Barbie cenobite from? One of the direct to video movies I haven’t seen yet? Ditto on the females.

I have to get the puzzle box, I’ve always wanted one, woo.

Chestnuts roasted by marioshoku @ 05/05/2004 1:22 AM EDT


Ahhhhh…….How refreshing to see a story about Ralphie going to Hell.  God knows how many times i’ve seen A Christmas Story.  Sometimes I wish Scott Farkas could  just beat the shit out of Ralphie.  Speaking of Scott Farkas, do they make a Scott Farkas figure?

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 05/05/2004 1:46 AM EDT


can’t go wrong when combining the powers of hell and a family Christmas favorite…though i have been wondering when we are going to get the next installment of cobra’s chia plot…or as i like to call it…the greatest mini-series since the autobots came across the dinobots

Chestnuts roasted by self-proclaimed @ 05/05/2004 1:49 AM EDT


Whoa.  That was messed up.

Oh BTW, the first Season of the Original TMNT cartoon is now on DVD. 10 bucks at Walmart.

Chestnuts roasted by Cameron @ 05/05/2004 2:04 AM EDT


Cameron-That’s awesome.  I know what I’m doing as soon as i get back home to CA on the 7th.

Anyway, great job Matt.  I’ve always loved A Christmas Story, and Hellraiser ain’t bad either.  Furthermore, Ralphie does in fact belong in Hell because he lied to his mom after he shot his eye out (sort of).

However, don’t think for one moment that this is gonna get you off the hook.  You still owe us the exciting conclusion to Cobra Chia Plot.

There, I did it.  I guess I’m not such a dumbass after all.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 05/05/2004 2:56 AM EDT


I’m not sure I would have known that was Ralphie unless you’d pointed it out.  My first guess would have been a Young Jim Gaffigan figure.  Then I’d have to figure out why there are any Jim Gaffigan figures at all, let alone a Young Jim Gaffigan.

I’m gonna shut up and read the thing now.

Bye.

Excellent!  Matt do you know where the MarshMellow Man is being sold? Will it be at Suncoast/Sam Goody or is it exclusively on the NECA site store?

Sorry wasn’t paying attention the post above this one is mine. I’m such an ass.

What exactly are monchichi’s.  Are they monkeys or monkey/gerbil’s or what?  I dont understand…

Chestnuts roasted by BettieBoo @ 05/05/2004 8:20 AM EDT


those cenobite chicks are from hellraiser 5 or 6, one of them has the guy that does the max paine voice.  Pinhead is in them both a totall of 5 seconds

Chestnuts roasted by bob barker on smack @ 05/05/2004 8:28 AM EDT


Notice one of the girls grabbing Barbie’s crotch partway through the story?

Chestnuts roasted by Volkaru @ 05/05/2004 8:32 AM EDT


"We just got in a shipment of Monchichis."

Shoutout! Whoo!

Scut Farkus was played by Zach Ward, who went on to play Dave, the brother, on Titus. I love useless trivia.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 05/05/2004 9:28 AM EDT


Did anyone else notice who was hiding behind the wood in one of the pics?

Chestnuts roasted by Cold Milk @ 05/05/2004 9:29 AM EDT


Scott Schwartz, A.K.A. Flick was straight up doing porn.

Chestnuts roasted by Stilewalker @ 05/05/2004 9:37 AM EDT


Funny Shiznit!

Chestnuts roasted by The King Lion @ 05/05/2004 9:47 AM EDT


I agree that Flick was posing for porn, no girl could resist that tongue.  Since I’m already talking about sex, I figure it’d be ok so make fun of Matt’s milky balls…

Chestnuts roasted by ANdrew @ 05/05/2004 9:48 AM EDT


Crap me a new brain, it’s Cenobite time!  YAY!  CENOBITES RAWK!  The "Barbie" one is from the first Hellraiser… one of the originals.  And the Chatterer is my favorite!  Bravo!

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 05/05/2004 9:56 AM EDT


Yeah, I saw those guys behind the Hell-Crating… a possible hint at the promised continuation of the Chia Plot?  I hope so…

Chestnuts roasted by SilvaKrown @ 05/05/2004 10:08 AM EDT


I thought I was the only one who cared about and cherished A Christmas Story. Everytime I see the VHS that we used to tape it off TV I get a little bit nostalgic. The leg lamp…but Ralphie’s fantasy of coming home blind was a little disturbing. It still is.

Chestnuts roasted by CasinoRoyale @ 05/05/2004 10:23 AM EDT


Chia Part 5?

Chestnuts roasted by sixpointsix @ 05/05/2004 10:42 AM EDT


Matt, you’re an f’n genius!

GI’s in hell?

Matt what r u cookin up?

Also, Shrek was a really good movie and I’ve tried those fruit snacks and they ain’t bad either.

Chestnuts roasted by J-Dog @ 05/05/2004 11:21 AM EDT


Not just posing for porn, ANdrew. He an actual porn star. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777432/

I didn’t really like Shrek. We’re a Finding Nemo sort of bunch, here.

Went back and saw the Joe’s. Hee!Tittle! Guffaw!

Sneaky Joe’s.

I saw a 1/2 scale leg lamp in a catalog once.  Ragile, must be Italian.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 05/05/2004 11:34 AM EDT


The take on Ralphie’s boxer nose must be in part II.

I own this movie on DVD. Does this make me cool? Or, a dork? Only Matt knows…

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 05/05/2004 11:37 AM EDT


A Christmas Story is my favorite movie ever, even above the original SW trilogy and the Gremlins flicks.  So no, definitely not dorky to own the DVD.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/05/2004 11:40 AM EDT


Actually, there really was a sequel to A Christmas Story. It had two names, one of which was My Summer Story, and the other being It Runs In The Family. It had 99% different actors, and took place in the summer sometime after Christmas Story. Not nearly as good as the first, but it had a few moments (namely Randy’s fishing experience).

Here it is on Amazon:

It is six pm in South Africa now, so hi matt, I’m going to bed soon… major headache MADE WORSE BY LACK OF CHIA PLOT!!!!!  Dammit Who is the ultimate warrior? Panthro? It has to be Panthro! AA rulz, bru. PS shipment of monchichis was nice touch! We don’t have any nice action figures here… I had a plush monchichi as a child… My brother stole it… Monchichi’s belong in a small wooden crate allegedly made to look like hell. Ha. Ha. Bet u’re having breakfast right now, so I’m about to have supper. Snarf and gravy, with veg. Yumyumyum. G’night.

On a completely unrelated topic, Matt have you seen the new Peanut Butter Toast Crunch cereal? Definitely deserves an article or a blog entry or something.

We watched Christmas story in school in grade four but the teacher turned it off when ralphie said "fuck."
I still have not seen the end.

Chestnuts roasted by lemmywinks @ 05/05/2004 12:43 PM EDT


More like lunchtime here in EST.

Didn’t the baby Macauley Culkins play Ralphie and Randy in It Runs In The Family? A disappointment, although the plots surrounding the parents were pretty good (tax time, the gravy boat).

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 05/05/2004 12:43 PM EDT


South Africa…… it’s like a whole other country.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 05/05/2004 12:44 PM EDT


The kid who plays Flick joined the porno industry because he found that he could do more than stick his tongue to a pole. Then again, maybe not…

Chestnuts roasted by CasinoRoyale @ 05/05/2004 12:46 PM EDT


Oh, yeah - do the figures come w/ the Bumpus’ dogs and the Christmas duck? Cuz that would just rule.

It’s good to know I am officially non-dorky. Whoo!

Rent it, lemmywinks. It’s worth the $5.

My five year old daughter caught a snake in our backyard. His name is Bob and is right now in an aquarium in the kitchen. I think Bob is giving me the stink eye.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 05/05/2004 12:47 PM EDT


Ahh.. A Christmas Story and Pinhead.. finally united *snif* what a perfect world!

Chestnuts roasted by hugsnstuff @ 05/05/2004 12:58 PM EDT


You are such a fudging teast Matt! Not only do you make an action figure drama, when you know I’m setting my dreams on Chiaplot (note, that I will never have a best day ever because you ruined the one I predicted!)But I saw what was happening behind that crate! It’s just cruel. It’s not fair… Don’t we deserve it? Haven’t we been good? I tell you what, If you give me the Chiaplot I’ll umm…. well I don’t know, probably something involving the robots that came in boxes of OJs cereal for some inexplicable reason, or probably the ghostbusters episode where Larry Storch Guest starred, (Ghost Busters, not The Real Ghost Busters.) Aww cmon man, be a pal.

Chestnuts roasted by Trippy the 8th Dwarf @ 05/05/2004 1:36 PM EDT


Hmmm… very nice.  Yes, very nice.  Good Work, Matt.  I’d be curious how long it takes you to put together something like that?

Chestnuts roasted by The Return of Long Duck Dong @ 05/05/2004 1:55 PM EDT


Cameron, are you sure it’s the entire first season?  The only old school ninja turtles DVD I can find on the internet is just the first 5 episodes, along with 4 episodes that never aired on TV.  Is this the one you’re talking about?

It’s nice to know that Matt still plays with his action figures :)
I didn’t know there was a series of A Christmas Story figures.

Chestnuts roasted by The Dragonrider @ 05/05/2004 6:21 PM EDT


A Christmas Story and the other Summer vacation story with separate actors performing are actually chapters out of a book from one man’s life.  He’s also done shorts about his time with his dad at a Chicago Cubs game.  Funny book, yet I can’t recall the name of it. . .

You need to do something with those Simpsons action figues. That would be awesome! BUT FIRST, you need to finish the Chia Plot thing.

Matt, I’ve been reading your site for years, and I’m so disappointed that you’ve never mentioned 8-Bit Theatre Party over at http://www.nuklearpower.com.

Fans of the very first Final Fantasy, yes, the 8-bit NES version that was going to be the last game that Square ever produced (hence the name), really should check this out.  It’s got everything - evil Black Mages, swordchucks, Garland…

Matt - not doing a plug here - that’s some funny s–t over there at 8-Bit Theatre…almost as funny as your Mumm-ra/Snickers bit from eons ago (I haven’t laughed that hard since the last time I…).  Actually, you’d probably be my first pick to play Black Mage in the movie conversion (probably coming in 2007 at this rate).

Chestnuts roasted by DragonJay @ 05/05/2004 10:14 PM EDT


I wasn’t much of a FF guy so I never really got into NP, but I’ve seen the site and have a great respect for what that guy has accomplished.  (that’s the same site with the sprite comic, aye?)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/05/2004 10:52 PM EDT


The Mumra/snickers/wilykit comment was priceless!

Is Wilykit the ultimate warrior? Or a snickers bar? Hurhurhur. Otherwise, why bother with chiaplots? I think even Matt doesn’t know who the ultimate warrior will be… thats why he’s stalling! Hah! I shall have to Invent a plot for him starring my little ponies and dismembered heman toys! Hah!

Yep, South Africa is a whole other country…. It’s 4:44pm as I speak, so whoa, weird aint it? Monchichi’s were sortof like monkey things from waaaay back, a cartoon with spinoff cuddly toys. Mustve been what, 20 years ago? Had theme song like "Way up in de trees live da mon-chi-cheees, Monchichi means happ-pi-ness, MON!" There was a revival about 10-ish years ago, cute little animated critters hanging from branches.  Anyone else remember animated Ewoks episodes? Loved em. And the Wuggles.

Chestnuts roasted by eminentfreak @ 05/06/2004 10:52 AM EDT


I’m 21. I vaguely remember the Ewoks animated series. I remember one where they had to put an invisible potion on themselves to keep hidden from some bad guys. That’s about it.

the first time i saw "an x-mas story" was when i was seven or eight — it freaked the living daylights out of me (probably since there were random people wearing costumes and what not…plus the guy w/ the coon hat was scary as hell).  they did a 24 hr movie marathon of "an x-mas story" which was fine the first time around…

random note–saw old skool transformers coloring book at an antique store the other day (which is odd since one would never expect to see something like that…)

i’m going to miss shrek two over the summer (will be out of the country…oh well) i suppose it might be a good thing…

Matt - Great post as always. BTW, there really is an actual Christmas Story 2. I tried watching it once, but I couldn’t. I would love to see you rip into that one. Keep it up brutha!

P.S. - I know you’re digging necaonline.com, but I found http://www.darkfigures.com and it rules. They actually have a Jason figure from part 2 as well as PAMELA VOORHEES. Both are pre-orders. Check it out. Peace & Grease!!

Chestnuts roasted by Mr.Fun @ 05/06/2004 10:09 PM EDT


Did you know A Christmas Story is actually a sequel on its own?  It was a sequal to an odd little movie called "Just like Dad"(I think that was the title).  Same actors…younger…interesting.  Its on the Disney channel once every like three years.  Sad, but I saw it on once.  The kid goes fishing and has wars with tops against other kids at school.

Anyway, this was pretty good Matt!

Chestnuts roasted by G.I. He-man @ 05/06/2004 11:22 PM EDT


It’s obvious Matt is stalling on the Chia Plot until he gets the Marshmellow Man figure.  There’s your ultimate cobra warrior.

Chestnuts roasted by G4L @ 05/08/2004 7:15 AM EDT


How about Ollie Hopnoodle’s Haven of Bliss which starred Jerry O’Connell as Ralphie?  I remember only very randomly stumbling upon it on the Disney Channel years ago.  I don’t remember it well but I remember the kid who played Randy said the word "jelly" really weird.  Anyone else heard of this?

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 05/08/2004 2:49 PM EDT


Wow, there’s another movie with these characters? I must find it, and then watch it… in no particular order.

Jeez, I never thought I’d see the day when Hellraiser and A Christmas Story could be somehow properly connected in the same sentance, let alone comic. Top notch; worthy of the ‘Mixing Movies that Should Never be Mixed’ award.

I stumbled upon your site quite by accident, and your talent as a writer is extraordinary. Your observations, combined with a refreshingly off-beat sense of humor and imagination, makes your site an addictive read.
The “Christmas Story 2″ skit had me laughing so hard that I cried! I also loved the story about the miniature golf-course from hell.
Please keep on doing such fantastic work!
