Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. It is so bad, that it is actually fun to watch. The filmmakers were probably too embarrassed to renew the copyright, so it’s now in the public domain.

santa martians The story shows how Santa Claus is kidnapped by Martians to cheer up the Martian children. The rumor is that the movie was shot in abandoned aircraft hangars in New Jersey. It is clear that the movie had an extremely low budget, it even has spelling errors in the opening credits (custume designer).

The movie is currently ranked 80 in the list of worst movies ever made. A remake of this classic has been announced, but it will certainly never beat the original.

Some funny mess-ups to watch for during the movie:

6 mins – Why is the snow on that guy not melting?

13 mins – Septober? A goofy sort of hybrid month?

20 mins – Paper towel tubes used as part of a radar array (these guys were so broke).

34 mins – Oh no! It’s some guy dressed in a polar bear suit!

50 mins – They’re going to escape the airlock via a duct?

57 mins – If it weren’t for some big guy who laughs insanely, I’d run…

66 mins – Can’t these morons tell the difference between Santa and Dropo in a red suit?

I don’t know how it got there, but according to Wikipedia, Archive.org, and several other sources it is in the public domain.

This couldn’t be more pathetic.

wow… that is one rough movie. Did they even look at the script while they were writing it? seriously…. that sucked. I gave up after like 5 minutes. I think i would kill myself if i was forced to watch anymore.

I actually remember watching this as a kid on an old Los Angles based children’s program hosted by Pat Haden(?) on KTLA Channel 5. This was also the program where I saw the original Old Yeller and Pippi Longstocking. I actually remember it fondly and will probably screen all of it later. You’ve got to love that intro song.

It was actually Tom Hatten, and the name of the program was “The Family Film Festival”.

Hey! I LOVE that movie!

The trick that makes watching this crap barely is to watch the episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 that makes fun of this movie. However, despite that, it still might be a waste of an hour…

Why did you link Dropo to that wikipedia article for Walt Dropo? IMDB clearly lists this character acted by Bill McCutcheon. Dropo just appears to be a very lazily-created “martian” name.

Micheal, it may be true that all works after ’64 are automatically renewed (that’s only one possible interpretation of Pub. L. 102-307), but who’s going to sue you? Companies that no longer exist have a hard time making a case.

SJMedrano:

I used to love that show on KTLA too! My brother and I watched it every Sunday. Wasn’t it called the Family Film Festival or something like that? They would show old Popeye cartoons and others (George of the Jungle, etc.), then show the movies. I remember watching all of the Hope/Crosby Road pictures, Thunderbirds and other stop animation movies, Pippi, etc. I still miss the show and wish someone would do a similar show nationally. Oh well.
