The Original: An outrageous 1980s Christmas-set slasher film revolving around young man Billy who, as a boy, witnessed the murder of his parents by a man dressed as Santa, and became a seasonal serial killer as a result. It's dumb as a box of rocks, but a total riot if viewed as a comedy, and has amassed something of a cult following over the years. The Sequel: As pointless as the above 14 movies may have been, they at least all did the most basic job of going out there and shooting new footage. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2? Not so much. Part 2 literally copies much of its run-time from the original movie, with Billy's brother Ricky recounting scenes from the first film (using pre-existing footage combined with a few new inserts), before heading off on his own ridiculous killing spree that's mostly derivative of what came before, if also much funnier due to lead actor Eric Freeman's atrocious central performance. What are the most pointless movie sequels you've ever seen? Shout it out in the comments!
