Overview

Martians fear their children have become lazy and joyless due to their newfound obsession with Earth TV shows. After ancient Martian leader Chochem suggests that the children of Mars need more fun—including their own Santa Claus—supreme leader Lord Kimar assembles an expedition to Earth. Once there, they kidnap two children who lead them to the North Pole, then capture the real Santa Claus, taking all three back to Mars in an attempt to bring the Martian children happiness.

Viewing Notes

For my afternoon viewing, I skipped the Portage Theater event and opted to just watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) at home rather than on the big screen. It’s not a good film but charming in its own way. I think this would’ve really appealed to me as a child with all the low budget costuming and set pieces.
