Description

Come see this wacky, holiday movie for free at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum. We'll have beverages and food available for sale. Our next Movies Under the Oaks screening of SANTA CONQUERS THE MARTIANS. This film from 1964 is a zany, cult-classic, holiday fiasco! Date: December 10th Time: 6 – 8 PM We'll have Gotta Lovett Wings and Things Food Truck there for people interested in purchasing snacks and food. Plot: The Martians are worried that their children are watching too much Earth television, most notably station KID-TV’s interview with Santa Claus in his workshop at Earth’s North Pole. Consulting the ancient 800-year-old Martian sage they are advised that the children of Mars are growing distracted due to the society’s overly rigid structure. From infancy, all their education is fed into their brains through machines and they are not allowed individuality or freedom of thought. The only way to help the children is to allow them their freedom and to be allowed to have fun. To do this, Mars needs a Santa Claus figure, like on Earth. The Martian leaders decide to abduct Santa from Earth and bring him to Mars. What will happen to Christmas? What will happen to Santa? What will happen to Earth? Come to our free screening of SANTA CONQUERS THE MARTIANS on December 10th from 6-8 PM to find out!
