Just in time for Christmas, we offer the holiday cult classic, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, originally released in 1964. Martians kidnap Santa and two local kids, forcing them to make toys for the depressed children of Mars. But you can’t manufacture happiness, and Santa will teach the aliens the true meaning of Christmas! Starring Pia Zadora.
Just in time for the holidays, we present the full original 1964 holiday comedy: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. The story involves the people of Mars, including Momar (“Mom Martian”) and Kimar (“King Martian”). They’re worried that their children Girmar (“Girl Martian”) and Bomar (“Boy Martian”) are watching too much Earth television, most notably station KID-TV’s interview with Santa Claus in his workshop at the North Pole. Consulting the ancient 800-year-old Martian sage Chochem (a Yiddish word meaning “genius”), they are advised that the children of Mars are growing distracted due to the society’s overly rigid structure; from infancy, all their education is fed into their brains through machines and they are not allowed individuality or freedom of thought.
