Curiosidades
The drive-in theater seems to show Herschell Gordon Lewis' Blood Feast (1963), but it is not. The movie showing is actually La dama roja mata siete veces (1972) a.k.a. "La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volte." It was also distributed under the name "Blood Feast," which has caused some confusion.

Pifias
At one point the killer hits a cop over the head and takes his uniform. Despite the cop being quite a bit heavier, the uniform fits perfectly.

Citas
Diane Sullivan: Blaze here. A crazy new year to you.
Richard Sullivan: [In a distorted voice] Happy new year to you, Blaze.
Diane Sullivan: Oooh! Some kind of voice you got there. You sound like the Phantom.
Richard Sullivan: You could call me that.
Diane Sullivan: So, you got a name, Phantom?
Richard Sullivan: Call me Eee-vil.
Diane Sullivan: Evil? E-villl Eye?
Richard Sullivan: No! Just eee-vil!
[Then he breathes hard]
Diane Sullivan: Well listen Mr. Evil, do you have a vote for the top song of the year?
Richard Sullivan: No. Just a new year's resolution.
[pauses and breathes hard]
Richard Sullivan: I'm going to commit murder at midnight. I'm going to kill someone you know. Someone close to you.
Diane Sullivan: [Diane hangs up the phone and turns to her audience] Well! We're really off to an interesting start, aren't we? Crazy trips, must be a full moon!

"Hey! You Wanna Smoke A Number?!"...

Radio DJ / distracted mom, Diane Sullivan (Roz Kelly) has no time for her fully-grown, pouty son. It's New Year's Eve and she's got a vital job to do, counting down the latest "new wave" bands. Unbeknownst to her, a madman (Kip Niven) has just begun a killing spree. Said maniac calls Diane, live on TV to announce his diabolical plan.

Thus, begins NEW YEAR'S EVIL, a different sort of holiday-themed slasher film. Instead of 22 year old "teenagers", most of the characters are 30-40. The killer's face is shown almost immediately, though he does use various disguises. Rather than the usual hunt-'n'-slash method, the murderer has a rather novel, protracted approach to homicide. While certainly not the best of this type of film, NYE certainly is a lot of fun to watch!

Made entirely of Limburger, almost every scene is performed as though the "actors" have just read their lines for the first time. Of special interest, are the hilarious, shambling "punks" at Diane's New Year's event, and the -look-at-us-we're-craaazy!- patients at the mental hospital. Then, there are the bikers, the bumbling cops, and the rest of the languid masses. Just wait until you hear "expert" Dr. Reed (John Alderman channeling William T. Shatner) pontificate about the killer's motivations! Whew! Indeed, this is heaven on earth!

P.S.- Nothing can prepare you for the big "twist" finale!...
