Question Regarding "The Silent Night, Deadly Night" Series

[Daniel Johnson]

   I just got the Anchor Bay dvd of the first two films as a double feature and was looking through some of the extras included. There was one extra entitled "Stocking of Outrage" or something to that effect, which included complaints about the first movie, suprisingly none other than Mickey Rooney, the academy award-winning actor wrote in a derogatory later saying that the makers of the film should be run out of town. While searching through imdb I found that the same actor appeared in the fifth and final installment of the series. So the questions I have are, why would he appear in the same series of films he despised? And how on earth did the producers of a a b-movie sequal afford Rooney to be in the film?
