^i highly doubt that.
he might have been paid a little more than some of the other actors but i doubt he was paid what hollywood would pay. This is a low budget horror movie remember.

He must of been out of his mind. I doubt that the pay was good. He was/is so washed up that I guess he was scraping by taking any crap roles he could get at his age. I find him demented and scary in this movie.

Considering Erich-13's theory, I wonder whether Rooney made any public statements after the movie was released. Anybody know?

If you pay his cab fare, Mickey Rooney will deliver commentary for this film in your living room. But you'll have a hard time getting him to leave.

Maybe he's just a hypocrite? Lots of actors are sellouts and media whores.
You! Obey the fist!

My guess is he probably was in desperate need of the dough.

Maybe he swallowed his pride after seeing what a cult following the original had developed.

I'm more interested in why anybody cared what he thought the first time around. It was a minor stroke of marketing genius to cast him in this sequel (whether it has anything to do with the controversy or not), given his objection to the first film.
It's too bad Rooney's career hasn't kept pace with longevity. The guy's been in movies longer than anyone, eighty years or so.

Maybe he regretted his protesting as the years went by. He could've seen the error of his ways and realized he overreacted so appearing in this film was his way of saying "sorry" for it. Or perhaps, as others said, he just needed a way to pay the bills.

It's strange. Especially since his problem with the original film was a killer Santa and in this he's dressed up as Santa for a scene.
