Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (1964) on Tubi

This is what my brothers and I consider the weirdest Christmas movie of all time.

It’s has some three stooges comedy, children working longing to work the factory, and a delightfully festive and unhinged plot, and is a scathing review of what the 1960’s thought the future could be.

P.S. There’s also a Rifftrax version which I have not seen.

P.P.S the movie is in the public domain!

    My sister and I used to watch this all the time, not even just during Christmas. It was so weird. Haven’t seen it in years, I’ll have to give it another watch!

    We watch this every year. Its awful.

    Also, not only is there a Rifftrax version, It’s also an episode of MST3K, and Cinema Titanic did it as well

    It’s such a weird movie, but so are all the Christmas movies from around this time. This one really is the Christmas equivalent of Manos: Hands of Fate.

    Oh yeah, I know this one. Didn’t Austin McConnel talk about it? Watching this with my friends as soon as possible.
