Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

So bad it's great. Martians travel into the void of outer space on a secret mission to Earth. Their mad scheme? Kidnap Santa Claus and bring him back to Mars! For what purpose? To engage his services for brightening the lives of deprived Martian kids, who really don't have a Santa-type character to give them presents once a year. Okay, so this isn't the greatest movie ever made, but it's still a fairly good family Christmas fantasy that's still liked by the young ones in the household. Film's highlight is eight-year-old Pia Zadora, who went on to win a Golden Globe award for acting many years later. Beautiful color, from 35mm.
