It’s about as stupid as you expect. The effects are terrible, the plot is nonsensical, and it looks hideous to watch. Some technical details are accidentally frightening. The picture quality is very dark and poorly lit. Meanwhile there’s threats posed by an evil robot or a downright sinister looking polar bear costume (they don’t even bother trying not to make the suit look non-anthropomorphic). But I will admit, a part of me thinks this could have almost work. Almost. If it obviously had a bigger budget and the story surprisingly tries to add a layer of social commentary, as half-baked as it is. But for now, it’s just a punchline and most definitely one of the all-time Hollywood turkeys.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) The children of Mars are upset because Santa Claus doesn’t visit them at Christmas time. So the Martians hatch a plan to kidnap Santa and bring Christmas to Mars. The film is filled with horrible costumes, acting that gets on your nerves and incredibly poor special effects. Legendary bad actress Pia Zadora (The Lonely Lady) makes her big screen debut as an earth child who is kidnapped to Mars along with Santa. She sings the show stopping number, Hooray For Santy Claus, which, much like the rest of this film, will haunt you for years. - See more at: http://lastonetoleavethetheatre.blogspot.com/search?q=Santa+Claus#sthash.g92tgMn0.dpuf

Some films are so bad, they're funny. Some films are so bad, they're just BAD.
