Disappointing follow-up to the phenomenal Scream Greats Vol 1 eschews the planned focus on esteemed contemporary horror film figures, instead embracing sensationalist examination of and commentary on, you guessed it, satanism and witchcraft.
Of little interest to rational Fangoria or Starlog readers, it consequently killed the series dead.
Originally, bearded filmmaker Tobe Hooper was to be the focus of this installment. What went wrong?
Recommended for superstitious adolescents and gullible adults, only.
Otherwise, don't bother.

Classic cheesefest chronicles the making of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, hosted by Mark Hamill, no less. Focus is on the creation of the special effects, obviously, and we're shown 3rd rate efforts of grade schoolers to recreate such cinematic marvels in the classroom. Consequently, they all got F's. These pre-pubescent amateurs aren't worthy of the urine of Dennis Muren.
Fat Albert and those struttin' Cosby Kids get together for what is basically a re-imagining of the birth of Christ combined with 'A Christmas Carol'.
The gang is rehearsing a Christmas performance at the junkyard clubhouse when a destitute family, Father Ray (who looks like Eriq La Salle with sideburns and a porno mustache), load-baring Mother Marge and little Marshall, come a knockin' on the door, looking for somewhere to have themselves a baby.
It looks like the clubhouse is it but doom looms on the horizon thanks to cantankerous old junkyard owner, Tyrone, the hood's resident scrooge who's keen on demolishing the trespasser's hangout.
Needless to say, Fat Albert lectures, there's plenty of bleeding heart moments, the gang get into some slapstick moments, the music pumps and it everything works out OK in the end (in the true spirit of Christmas of course), all to the stirring cacophony of canned laughter (thanks to the live audience that must've sat in the studio for months as this thing was slowly animated).
Strangely, there's no Bill Cosby wrap around segments, no Brown Hornet, no Legal Eagle and although Mudfoot makes an appearance, once again he doesn't bum any change which makes us wonder if he truly is a tramp or really an eccentric millionaire merely posing as a miserable waste of humanity.
Yeah... I'd go with some classic episodes, or at least the Easter Special but if you wanna catch up with the gang and this is all you've got to work with then give it a shot. It'll put a little hot sauce on your X-mas puddin'!
