Awesome. you can view this at Halloween OR Christmas.

Did Kino ever fix the issue of the missing minutes in this disk?

How does this release of this film compare to others? Is this the best their is?

 

[MatthewA]

They did fix it, but I have not seen any other versions of it.

There’s some differences between the covers of the two versions. One names Horizon as the company and the other as Kino. The Horizon edition is the fixed bd.

Now, it you really wanna punish yourself, Modern Harmonic, Something Weird Video and The Film Detective joined forces to release a green 45 of the Milton DeLugg theme song “Hooray For Santa Claus” (along with the original b-side track but moved onto the a-side). The b-side features The Fleshtones’ cover of “Hooray For Santa Claus” too. Where SWV and TFD come into play is there’s a dvd included of the movie and additional Xmas bits/shorts/etc. This was released the Saturday after Thanksgiving for one of the Record Store Day installments. It can be ordered directly from Lisa @ SWV’s website. I should be getting my copy from Lisa tomorrow or Saturday — AND I CAN’T WAIT!!!

Is the corrected version what Kino currently sells? They have a sale on. I don’t see where a different company issued a blu-ray.

You’d probably want to email Kino, as I really don’t know. I’ve had the bds for a few years (or whenever they came out).

EDIT: I take it back. The one on their site shows the Horizon one. I imagine you’ll receive the right edition. https://www.kinolorber.com/search?q=film||Santa+Claus+Conquers+The+Martians&sort=relevance&per_page=24&theatrical=off&theatrical=on&dvd=off&dvd=on&bluray=off&bluray=on&kinonow=off&kinonow=on&result_view=list

That one is 1.33:1.

 

[Randy Korstick]

That one is 1.33:1.

That's the only ratio Kino ever released because their source is stated on the disc as coming from a 16mm tv print.

Does anyone have any information about how the iTunes streaming version of this looks? I shudder to think, but had to ask.

 

[Osato]

I bring my dvd over to my in laws every Christmas. They hate it so I keep doing it.

We need a 4k release of this one.
