    • Trivia
      The producers of Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) wanted director Lee Harry to re-cut the first film and insert one or two new scenes with Eric Freeman playing a mental patient, to make the story in the original film appear to be nothing more than the ravings of an asylum inmate. However, screenwriters Lee Harry, Joseph H. Earle, Dennis Patterson and Lawrence Appelbaum wrote short vignettes involving the patient's youth, as he killed several people, and eventually it became this sequel. There wasn't enough material for a full-length film, so numerous flashback sequences were added. The film still ran short, so almost ten minutes of closing credits were added, showing the full cast and crew of this film and its predecessor.
    • Goofs
      As Ricky retells the shooting of Santa on Christmas morning 1984, he claims that the janitor was in the suit. The priest was really in the suit.
    • Quotes

      Ricky Caldwell: [about to shoot a man carrying a garbage can] Garbage day!

    • Crazy credits
      So much flashback footage from the first film is shown in the first half of this movie, that when the end credits start, the ENTIRE cast and crew from the first film is listed, along with the cast and crew of this sequel.

    Silent Night, Deadly Night 2: More of the same
    Silent Night, Deadly Night is hailed as a bit of a cult classic in the slasher genre. It told the story of a young man who snapped and went on a killing spree while wearing a santa costume.

    Part 2 tells the story of his brother who is basically doing the same thing but is a tad brighter.

    Sadly the first third of the film is heavily flashbacks so it feels like you're watching the first film all over again. When the new material kicks in it's essentially more of the same.

    The original film despite it's fame remains to me as a distinctly average feature and this sequel is about on par.

    A couple of fairly original deaths, a competent lead playing the manic Ricky Caldwell and the usual tropes and cliches of the sub-genre.

    It's astounding that this managed 5 movies total, hopefully they haven't peaked already with this one as I'm part 3 bound shortly.

    The Good:

    Eric Freeman

    Follows on from the first film well enough

    The Bad:

    FAR too much footage from the first film

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    A nun would have no problem moving into house no.666

    Nuns are trained in the art of wheelchair ninjutsu

    The church provides a spare wheelchair in case of acts of god
