Walking in a winter weirdoland! SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS & OTHER HOLIDAY HALLUCINATIONS is a blizzard of mid-century kitsch that will make your holiday dreams come true—especially if you're a Martian. Preserved from Something Weird's colorful 16mm print and presented in a brand new "roadshow" edition with ads and trailers, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS (1964) is the infamous, ultra-cheap mindmelter starring young Pia Zadora (HAIRSPRAY) that follows the kidnapping of Santa and two Earth children by Martians. From there, our visit to the North Pole continues with SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE DRIVE-IN (60 minutes of snipes and trailers) and over two hours of delirious shorts.
