Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (1964) on Tubi
This is what my brothers and I consider the weirdest Christmas movie of all time.
It’s has some three stooges comedy, children working longing to work the factory, and a delightfully festive and unhinged plot, and is a scathing review of what the 1960’s thought the future could be.
P.S. There’s also a Rifftrax version which I have not seen.
P.P.S the movie is in the public domain!
my favourite part was the hilariously inconsistent and terrible makeup for the martians. i swear, its like they filmed all the scenes in a random order in one sweaty afternoon with no breaks to touch it up.
I was laughing early on when one of their moustaches was falling off
We watch this every year. Its awful.
Also, not only is there a Rifftrax version, It’s also an episode of MST3K, and Cinema Titanic did it as well
We watch the mst3k of it yearly, mostly for Patrick Swayze Christmas
Watching it right now
I learned a new Christmas song today!
It’s such a weird movie, but so are all the Christmas movies from around this time. This one really is the Christmas equivalent of Manos: Hands of Fate.
I watch the MST3K version every Christmas Eve!
Oh yeah, I know this one. Didn’t Austin McConnel talk about it? Watching this with my friends as soon as possible.
My sister and I used to watch this all the time, not even just during Christmas. It was so weird. Haven’t seen it in years, I’ll have to give it another watch!
