WHO KILLED SANTA? A FILM NOIR CHRISTMAS COMEDY SPOOF

The time: Christmas Eve. The Place: Downtown. The Crime: Murder. A crime most foul and fatal. Somebody killed Santa. The real one. Who did it? Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we’re here to find out. Nine times out of ten it’s always somebody the victim knows. Personally. And so we’ve brought these people here tonight. Each and every one of these people had either the means, motive or opportunity to commit this hideous crime. But only one of them had all three. The only question is….who?

The Name’s Hardboiled. Detective Hardboiled.  I work with the police. But I’m only brought in for the specialist stuff. You know. The true crimes. Like this one tonight. All these suspects are gathered in the room where Santa spent his final moments, to find out who did it. Could it be Mrs Claus, who’s just a little too jolly, suspiciously so? Or Alf, the Elf who works the toy run? Rudolph the reindeer, whose nose could be growing just that little bit longer? But what about drop dead gorgeous Blondie, moonlighting as Jimmy the Elf? Or even the suspicious kid in the corner? Find out who really did it in this Christmas Comedy Spoof. Not for the fainthearted….
