Like probably everyone else, the only way I’ve seen this was because of MST3K, although I think my mother may have seen this thing when it was new. Also, Voldar’s mustache is the best part of the movie. That and the Werner Von Braun joke.

I used to have the DVD for this. My mom bought it for me after she found it in the discount bin. No lie, S-a-n-t-a-c-l-a-u-s plays through my head pretty often

Very late, but Santa smoked a pipe in “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”

But if you go by the copyright dates in the movies themselves, Rudolph was first as it was copyrighted in the 12th century (MCLXIV). :)

Challenge accepted, did the nasty with “Hooray for Santa Clause”. Playing throughout the house. Very festive?

With all the Martian "___mar" names in this, how did you guys not make a "Weimar" joke? Was there one and I missed it?

The subtheme of Santa wanting everything to end, reminds me of Neil Gaiman's brilliant 'Nicolas Was...' https://ramblingatthebridgehead.wordpress.com/2017/12/24/nicholas-was-by-neil-gaiman/

Talking about unsafe toys for kids, look up the gas powered pogo stick!

Kimar and Momar are King Martian and Mom Martian, to really drive home the excellent naming conventions.

I think I've seen this movie riffed more than any other. MST3K, Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, now GAM. All unique and funny as hell.

Vincent Jorgensen

Because of MST3K, this is the SECOND GAM movie I've actually seen.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians was released November 14, 1964 beating Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer December 6, 1964 for portrayal of Mrs. Santa Claus. (I was 12 then.)
