A Crazy Christmas Film!!!
This was like a Christmas movie on drugs! There are aliens, robots, cheesy special effects, and Santa Claus. There are quite a few laughs at the silly dialogue and fake battle sequences. In the end, this is a pretty good movie. When all the children of Mars become sad that they don't have anyone to spread holiday cheer, Kimar and his group travel to Earth to kidnap Santa...

TV news anchor [reads report after Santa's disappearance]: And Mrs. Claus has positively identified the kidnappers as Martians."
This special season is an ideal time to contemplate what may be the biggest holiday bomb in cinematic history, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (1964). It's a kiddie adventure story that's remembered (if at all) as the screen debut of Pia Zadora. Shot on a ten-cent budget in abandoned aircraft hanger on Long Island, Santa and the Martians is a perennial...

This review is from: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (DVD)
This special season is an ideal time to contemplate what may be the biggest holiday bomb in cinematic history, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (1964).
It's a kiddie adventure story that's remembered (if at all) as the screen debut of Pia Zadora. Shot on a ten-cent budget in abandoned aircraft hanger on Long Island, Santa and the Martians is a perennial favorite on almost every Worst Movie list. Is it as bad as its hype? Absolutely! Would I suggest you check it out to see for yourself if this one's as awful as they say? Hey, why not? It's good for a few laughs, some unintended of course. The film's memorably terrible chorus number, "Hooray For Santy Claus" was written by accordionist Milton DeLugg. His polka "Hoop Dee Doo" was popular on TV game shows. DeLugg is most famous for producing Buddy Holly's "Rave On" and most infamous for the song in this movie. He wrote the original theme to THE NEWLYWED GAME and was musical director of Chuck Barris' legendary Gong Show (whenever a contestant won on this program, DeLugg's "Hoop Dee Doo" was played). But back to the film in question. Here's my favorite bit of dialogue from SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS: Hargo: What's soft and round and you put it on a stick and you toast it in a fire, and it's green? Kimar: I don't know what? Hargo: A Martian mellow.

A Crazy Christmas Film!!!,
This review is from: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (DVD)
This was like a Christmas movie on drugs! There are aliens, robots, cheesy special effects, and Santa Claus. There are quite a few laughs at the silly dialogue and fake battle sequences. In the end, this is a pretty good movie. When all the children of Mars become sad that they don't have anyone to spread holiday cheer, Kimar and his group travel to Earth to kidnap Santa. Along the way, they also kidnap two children named Betty & Bill. When they get to Mars, everybody loves that Santa is there, except Voldar who tries to get rid of him before Christmas, because he thinks Santa is corrupting the minds of the children of Mars. Will Santa, Betty, Bill, Kimar, and the children of Mars be able to stop Voldar? I'd definitely recommend SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS!!!
