Camp classic 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,' which stars an 8-year-old Pia Zadora, is out on Blu-ray for the holidays. It's so bad it's good.

For a movie that is considered one of the worst ever made, 1964's "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" has had quite a wonderful life. Kino Lorber has put the musical holiday film on Blu-ray for the holidays. An 8-year-old Pia Zadora is one of the stars of this stuffed turkey about a group of Martians that decide to kidnap Santa because their children have become obsessed with St. Nick. Ineptly directed by Nicholas Webster with poor production values and wooden performances, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is a blissful camp feast.
