The Greatest Movie...

... in which, uh... it's Garbage Day!!!
.

That's the infamous "Garbage Day!" clip from Silent Night Deadly Night 2 (1987), which I guess became a viral thing awhile back, or something. I missed that phenomenon and I missed this film until this past weekend, and while the video above certainly displays a momentary bit of the momentary awesomeness that the film contains I couldn't ever recommend anyone seek this movie out.

For one thing, the movie is less than an hour and a half long and the first 45 minutes are literally basically just flashbacks to the first film. I am not exaggerating. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES OF FLASHBACKS. Just the same scenes from the first film shown again, with some terrible (terrible!) chatting about them interspersed between. After that our deranged man in the Santa suit goes on a what is surely a completely hysterical rampage - no doubt one or two of his kills will make a Ways Not To Die at some point - but it's honestly about fifteen minutes worth of stuff to watch, and the other 90% is just some of the most painful excrement I've ever waded through. And oh boy have I waded thru some painful excrement in my life!

Still apparently the lead actor - and Christ am I stretching the word "actor" out by applying it to him - Eric Freeman has been missing for 15 years! There's even a Facebook group devoted to that supposed factoid. I could've sworn he was a mid-90s gay porn actor. He rocks a tight white tee, jeans, and up-swept hair like one...
