Awesome, I was in my e-mail, saw it update to say "Inbox (1)" and I saw this immediately and went... "Yay!" A new snob to cheer me up before Christmas. =)
Great work as always, Brad!

I can't wait until two years from now, when you review "Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation." The one where the chick is being harassed by a cult that worships cockroaches.

Funny mentioning Ray and John Carradine with "Honey Britches."
There's actually a worse instance of Carradine stock footage that was used long after he was dead. There's a 1995 film called "Jack-O," with Linnea Quigley. It's another killer scarecrow/pumpkinhead killer type flick, and it has cameos from Cameron Mitchell and John Carradine. The funny thing was that Carradine had been dead for 6 or 7 years when that film was made. And it wasn't just stock footage inserted into the film. The footage was interlaced with the film to make it look like Carradine was a ghost. It amazes me how much stock footage of that man has been put into other films. I have always said that if I were to make a horror film, I would find a way to work John Carradine stock footage into the plot.

Honestly at the horror conventions and stuff they should collect money to hire a legit Private Dectective to find this guy.

Most of the YouTube spoofs of the Garbage Day scene aren't funny, but I liked this one since it was different and not done by annoying man-children. Funny review.
Reply to this
Brad, thank you for reviewing this one!
I've always hoped you'd review this movie (and one day I hope you review For Y'ur Heights Only and the Impossible Kid) and this was another good Snob review.
Also, this was perfectly timed, as I just subjected a good 20 people to this movie last night at a Christmas party I hosted. Fun times for all!
Reply to this
Hey Brad, you are a Hollywood director/producer with $200,000,000. Eric Freeman and Pierre Kirby are signed up for the project.
What would the movie be called and what would it be about?
Reply to this
I'm guessing half the budget would go to the hitman to take out Eric Freeman.
Reply to this
This is a great review! I loved the Christmas day part. Keep up the good work Brad.
Reply to this
Watching it with the commentary track this is one of the funniest movies i've ever seen.
Reply to this
That made my day! My "Garbage Day!" I have the DVD with both SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT and this sequel; I got it signed by Linnea Quigley at Monster-Mania Con 16 in September! Last year I got Lionsgate's SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT Collection (i.e., Parts 3-5). Since Christmas is next week, I will be counting down the days by watching the SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT series from Monday to Friday. Merry "Christmas Day!"

YAY! Something I've actually seen, and own. x) Because of are local video rental, I saw part 2 actually first; I had to later buy the double feature dvd to see the original properly. I still haven't seen the fourth or fifth films; same rental place didn't have them, but they had the third one. I suppose I should one day buy the Lionsgate dvd set even though only the third has any form of connection to the first two; least it comes with it too.
Nice review Brad.
Reply to this
Oh, and probably my favorite thing about Part 2 was the opening music.

I hope you review "Elves" next. It makes this movie look like a masterpiece. And despite of the title, there is only one elf in it.
Reply to this
Love how they still had big reel to reel tape machines in 2004, which is when I take this film is supposed to be taking place. Also, the lead starred in Murder Weapon, one you must review one day!
Reply to this
Hah, Brad's cat has a cameo at 15:57!
Reply to this
This movie is so bad, but so much fun to watch. The whole series is a hoot really. And I think it's so hilarious that Mickey Rooney, one of the people to protest the first movie, has a starring role in part 5.
Reply to this
It's been a long time since I've seen the the Silent Night, Deadly Night series. They were all really bad but part 3 really took stupidity to a new level. In that one Ricky has a weird transparent dome on his head and I'm pretty sure his brain was exposed kind of like the Robobrains in Fallout. But somehow a trucker actually gives him a ride and doesn't think it's weird. Then there was some psychic girl that is seeing through his eyes or something. I'm even shocked they made two more after that, the evil toy maker one wasn't any good and then 5 was a witch story and I don't even remember any Christmas theme let alone a killer Santa.

The "Christmas Day" scene is classic. It's stuff like that which makes you awesome, Brad.
Reply to this
Wow. I laughed a lot during this review. A real Christmas treat.
I should dig up a copy of this film... after all, it's been so long since last time, so the first film is worth a re-watch

I always wondered what they scene was from. And: Lloyd! I <3 Lloyd!

Every holiday should have slashers, because they are cheap and easy to make.

Looks like this actor got as famous as that winnebago guy

Somebody should make a documentary about the search for Eric Feman and i'll watch it.
Have yet to see the Winnebago Man doc, but I hear it's good.

Oops, Freeman! Sorry!
Reply to this
Thanks for reviewing this, I actually bothered to check this movie out after seeing the Garbage Day clip.
I always enjoy when you review a film I've actually seen, making this a wonderful Christmas present.
So Merry Christmas Snob, lets hope Santa brings you some good movies this year.

every time your cats appear in the back ground it makes your reviews that much better. I always pause and go awwwww KITTY!

Great review, Brad! I just wrote a review for this very movie on my blog a few days ago. It's one of the greatest worst films of all time. Eric Freeman is definitely the only reason to watch this sequel. I hope he does come out of retirement. I would love to hear his thoughts on the making of this film. And I agree about Part 3 - that movie was God-awful.
Merry Christmas!
Reply to this
At least it's not in 3D.
Reply to this
I feel the first "Silent Night, Deadly Night" would have been good for the Snob treatment too, because it is bad. Not as bad as Eric Freeman shrieking "GARBAGE DAY!!!", but pretty bad. I had to Netflix it to see and when I did, I thought, "Why were people so freaked out about this?" Hell, I was laughing my ass off at the film, namely from the roughly 600 shots of the killer screaming "NAUGHTY!" as he hacked up people.
Funniest scene: when Linnea Quigly is naked save for her panties and is making out with her boyfriend, there's a knock at the door. So she goes to answer it after putting her pants on...but without putting any shirt on and answering the door with her boobs on display for all the world to see. WHY THE HELL DID YOU BOTHER PUTTING PANTS ON IF YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT?!!! Was it some misplaced form of modesty?! God help her if it was a Jehovah's Witness at the door.

Brad, just so you know, I don't think the defense of "It wasn't me, it was the Snob." will work when they put you on trial for Jillian's murder.
Reply to this
Ah yes, the film series that cements the horror movie trope that if you're young and witness people having sex, you WILL become a mass murderer.
Yea, I remember the controversy too. Talk about giving a film way way WAY more press than it deserves. I almost suspect that the producers pulled a Malcolm McLaren and manufactured a good deal of the controversy for press they otherwise wouldn't get.
Reply to this
Santa's Slay was'nt all terrible...It got Fran Drechier and Chris Kattan some work at least.(Goldberg's best film since Half past dead 2,might be his only one too for all I know)
Merry Christmas,Snob! Loved the spoof you did w/Jerrid.
Reply to this
Wow that stunt where he narrowly side-steps the red car careening towards him is pretty damn impressive.
Reply to this
You showed that GARBAGE DAY!!! clip so many times over and over, I was half expecting it to become GROUNDHOG DAY!!!

Brad, I still think that the best movie you reviewed in this section was Brazilian Star Wars and I`m serious!

If you are like me you're getting sick of the usual Holliday crap on TV, the Kardacians are in half of them by now . I'm home and I'm looking through my collection and came up with 5 films that celibrate Christmas in the most warped way possible So here they are -----#5 "Die Hard" Just a fun bloody action film set on Christmas Eve, best watched uncut. Granted it has been way over played on TV but it's still a good flick (Die Hard 2 also plays nice at the Hollidays) So come out to the coast, we'll get together, We'll have a few laughs. ------#4 "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker" I have not seen the first two entries, 3 sucks, but Brian Yuzna (Bride of the Reanimator, From Beyond) produced the last two entries as a more twisted anthology enties than slasher films. 5 deals with a Mother and Boy being terrorized by someone sending them weird boobytrapped toys. It's not great but the ending is kind of wild and it has Micky Rooney -----#3 "Silent Night,Deadly Night 4: Initiation". This is a Very weird film Directed by Brian Yuzna, and has a very loose connection to Christmas. A female reporter trying to break the glass ceiling at her paper investigates a woman's death, who spontaniously combusted from the waist down. She is soon drawn into a cult who worship the demon Lilith, lead by Maud Adams, and we see some of the Weirdest insect related makeup effects by Screaming Mad George and the hands down most Bizarre preformance by Clint Howard ------#2 "Mystery Science Thearter 3000- Santa Claus" A very weird Mexican film where Santa is stalked by the Devil on Christmas It's a silly film made all the more funny by Mike and the bots. It is on the MST3K Volume 16 collection-------#1 "Mystery Science Thearter 3000- Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" One of MST3Ks best shows, not only do Joel and the bots do a wonderful job with the film but their side are great as well, such as Crow's new Christmas Carol, "Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas" It is in a two disc set called "MST3K The Essentials" with "Manos The Hand of Fate"--- Those are my choices, any thoughts and Merry Christmas

YES! Finally! I've always wanted you to review this masterpiece! Thank you so damn much Mr Snob. The only sad thing is that you've didn't mention the group on facebook Finding Freeman but anyway. Mega Epic review!

i love this movie.

Thanks for the interesting trivia about this movie! I always wondered why most of the movie was just scenes from the first one! But that one liner "Garbage Day" will always be in my head! That line would make a great ringtone or text message tone!

My brothers and I fell in love with this cheese fest back in 95, and it was no surprise to us that the garbage day scene went viral once it hit youtube. The only thing missing from SNDN2 is the epic monologue from the first film delivered by the grandfather. I recognized Eric Freeman from an episode of In Living Color, where he was a cabana boy serving drinks to Damon Wayans in Men On Film from the first season of the show.

Eric is currently a youth pastor at The Torch Worship center in Demorest, Georgia.
Well atleast so says Wikipedia

Wouldsomebody please acknowledge the school of eric freeman acting style. the guy´s awesome in this.
Reply to this
I like to mention when he kills the guy with the umbrella it immediately starts raining.Now thats irony!
Reply to this
The actor show plays the younger Ricky is voice actor Darrel Guilbeau and the funny thing is he is actually older then Eric Freeman by three years. Maybe someone at an anime con should approach him and see if he remembers anything about this movie.
Reply to this
Yeah, part two definitely sucks. But I do love the music score, it's very haunting! If only the soundtrack was available for download..
BTW, you are off about the garbage day scene claiming it was shot in the summer. You can easily tell by the multi-colored trees surrounding Ricky that it was shot in the fall.
One last note, I like Mother Superior in the first one because she really added to the anti-Christmas aura of the film. She was just as terrifying as any homicidal Santa Claus would be.
One last last note, I did like part three because of Robert Culp and the fact it was kind of eerie.

GARBAGE DAY!!!!
Thank you, Snobby. Great work as always!

So... Brad likes to review hard to find bad movies. Here's a challenge; a low budget B-grade film from 1979 named "The Demon"
Reply to this
So, for the past five days, I've been writing a review of Silent Hill 4: The Room. I know, it's a strange choice for a game to review, but it has a degree of personal significance.
Anyway, I was always creeped out by the antagonist, Walter Sullivan, when he attacks you in the latter half of the game. In your first encounter, he has a gun and a stick, and when he walks through a door and readies his gun to kill you, he raises it very slowly and ominously, holds his head back, and begins to fire on you. This always made me feel a tinge of fear, but this time through, I just looked at him and yelled "GARBAGE DAY!"
It's so perfect. The posture, the crazy eyes, the pistol, the killing.
I have since made "Garbage Day!" the title of the review.

I still haven't seen Part 3 in Silent Night, Deadly Night despite the fact that Ricky is played in that film by Bill Moseley and it features a young Laura Harring in the cast. I almost picked up the three-pack DVD collection at my local indie shop. But Freeman poses an interesting "What If" scenario. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" was released before "Silent Night, Deadly Night 2." Can anybody imagine Moseley cast as Ricky instead of Freeman, especially given just how entertainingly insane he was as Chop-Top? I'm not devaluing the camp appeal of Freeman, which is why I still smile at mere mention of the movie having seen the film authentically on VHS before the internet meme infamy. But Moseley has had the luck of being a certified genre icon. Based on what I heard about Part 3, in which he's relatively mute, I replay Part 2 in my head with Moseley instead, and it's interesting, kind of like seeing Joe Spinell as Machine Gun Joe Viterbo in "Death Race 2000" instead of Sly Stallone. After all, the two were great friends and reportedly auditioned for the same roles together.

Great review as always. I hope that actor does show up one day. 1st it was the search for Pierre Kirby now the search for Freeman.

And now the show that no one wants to see but everyone will watch; Christmas with the SNOB!!

I just saw Eric Freeman in a re-run of In Living Color! It was only for about 3 seconds. It was during a sketch making fun of Emergency 911 with Jim Carrey as William Shatner. He referred to Eric Freeman as "Bones" which was pretty hilarious and surprising to see him at the same time.
Reply to this
Great review! Massive fan of the film! Anyone interested in the film or in any other works featuring Eric Freeman check out the Finding Freeman Facebook group!!!!

Eric Freeman's last credit, according to imdb, was in a 1992 epsiode of In Living Color. His first role was an uncredited part in the original Children Of The Corn.
