kill Mother Superior, which Billy failed to do four years ago. After chasing Mother Superior throughout her house, Ricky succeeds in decapitating her. Ricky cleans up the blood and stages the scene, with Mother Superior sitting in a chair, her severed head balanced on her body. As soon as this is discovered by the police officers that arrive on the scene, a screaming Ricky leaps out and prepares to attack, but is shot down out the patio door. Sister Mary wakes up, and the police officer tells her, "He's gone, Sister. It's over." Then she turns over and sees Mother Superior's severed head, before screaming in terror. Ricky suddenly opens his eyes and smiles devilishly, indicating that he has survived his gunshot wounds. The final shot shows the arm of the murderer dressed in a Santa suit (footage from the first film) plunging a knife into the screen, before it freezes and the credits roll. Cast Principal Archival footage Production On the film’s DVD commentary, the filmmakers say that they were paid a dismal amount of money to make the film. Originally, they say, they were told to re-edit the first film and pass it off as either a sequel or a re-release. Director Lee Harry said that he demanded that a new film be shot, though he did not have the budget to create an entirely new story. Harry says that they tried to find Eric Freeman to participate for the commentary track, but they were unable to locate him at the time.
