This Weekend’s LRPA After Dark Feature:
1964’s “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians”
Join Lakes Region Public Access Television at 10:30 p.m. this
Friday and Saturday night (December 1 & 2) for our “LRPA After
Dark” presentation of 1964’s Christmas sci-fi adventure (!)
“Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” starring John Call as Santa
Claus and a very young Pia Zadora as Martian girl Girmar.
The
plot of “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” is simple: children
on Mars are jaded, dispiritied and unhappy. They can monitor
Earth’s news stories and are envious of how happy Santa Claus
makes children on our planet. Their fearless leader decides to
send an expedition to the North Pole to kidnap Santa and bring
him back to the Red Planet to cheer up their children. Why
not? “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians” is a low budget film
that has earned a place on most “Worst Movies of All Times”
lists, and with good reason. None of the production crew,
including the director or producer, had much experience making
films. The cast included New York-based actors with mostly
minor stage roles or small-budget television commercials in
their credits. The movie was filmed in Long Island in a former
aircraft hangar. The film does make good use of stock footage of
U.S. Air Force jets and aircraft, and is saturated in wonderful
60’s color. Reviewing the film on December 17, 1964 edition of
the New York Times, Howard Thompson wrote, “’Santa Claus
Conquers the Martians’ is aimed at the very small fry, who will
probably eat it up .... Santa and the children finally return
home, leaving a happy planet behind them, and if that isn’t the
Christmas spirit, we don’t know what is.” That’s what this movie
is all about – making the viewer happy! If you’ve never seen
“Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” join us for this silly,
amusingly awful movie. Grab your popcorn and meet us after dark
for this holiday treat.
Join LRPA After Dark as we celebrate the holidays all month
long:
December 8 & 9: 1944’s “Christmas Holiday”
December 15 & 16: 1980’s “A Christmas Without Snow”
December 22 & 23: 1935’s “Scrooge” followed by Christmas

December 29 & 30: 1941’s “Meet John Doe”
And
on Monday December 25: a day of family-friendly holiday movies,
shows and cartoons!

national levels.
