Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2

Trivia: The house number of the strict, God-fearing mother superior is "666" - the number of the beast.

Trivia: Eric Freeman plays the lead Ricky and was criticized for his performance. According to Freeman, nobody agreed on how the role should be played, and the crew would ask him to perform scenes in wildly different ways, which is part of the reason his performance is so unnatural. For example, he wanted Ricky to be cold and quiet, while the director wanted him to be a wisecracking smartass, and the writer wanted him to be over-the-top and absolutely nuts. His performance is thus an odd mish-mash.

Trivia: Despite only being 88 minutes long (including credits), about 30 minutes of the film is archival footage from the first movie, with less than an hour of the movie actually being comprised of new footage. The entire movie was filmed in only about 10 days.

Trivia: The scene in which Ricky screams "Garbage day!" before shooting a man was so unintentionally funny, it became an early internet meme, before the word "meme" was even popularized.

Character mistake: After Ricky has just killed his girlfriend with the car antenna, he's challenged by a police officer. Officers would never walk right up to someone who have just committed a murder. Police would always order the suspect into a position that presents the least amount of threat and minimal chance of resistance. Grabbing the officer's gun would never had been an option.
