Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Pia Zadora, in her big screen debut, stars in the colorful holiday classic, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. Little Girmar spends all her time on the red planet watching Earth's Christmas celebration on intergalactic TV. She and the other children of Mars are green with envy that Saint Nick does not visit them each year. Seeing the sadness in his daughter's eyes, politician Kimar hatches a plan to kidnap Santa and bring him to Mars to spread the joys of the season to the Martian children. Kimar dispatches his henchmen, bumbling Voldar and buffoonish Dropo to Earth, but they encounter more than they bargained for when they arrive.

Regarded as one of the most memorable "cult films" of all time, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians is an imaginatively "trippy" and delightful low-budget holiday fantasy.
