The original 1964 film 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!' is a campy sci-fi holiday movie that has gained a reputation for being so bad it's good, regularly appearing on lists of the worst films ever made.

 

Andy Diskes has breathed new life into 1964's "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" with a fresh edit, preserving the movie’s campy spirit and low-budget special effects, while trimming down its notorious pacing. This streamlined one hour (approx.) version promises a zany, nostalgic experience without losing respect for the original cast and production.

 

SYNOPSIS:

When Martian children grow unhappy and fixated on Earth’s Christmas traditions, their leaders decide to kidnap Santa Claus to bring joy to Mars. Along the way, they also capture two Earth children who help Santa spread Christmas cheer, despite sabotage attempts by the grumpy Martian Voldar. Santa’s kindness and holiday spirit transform the Martian society, leaving everyone happier as he returns to Earth.

More background info on the project:

 

The editing project, spanning three years and 5,000 hours of dedicated work, aimed to keep all the fun, bizarre moments that make the movie a cult classic but without the elements that might test the patience of modern audiences. Given that the original film celebrates its 60th anniversary, Diskes’ updated cut serves as both a tribute and a fresh way for viewers to enjoy this quirky holiday tale.

 

For those interested in catching this special re-edit, AndrewDiskes Productions has started screenings and has plans to expand next year. And if you can’t attend the School Vacation Screening, you’ll still have the option to rent this one-of-a-kind holiday hoot.
