==Background==
Line 8 ⟶ 10:
{{Spoiler}}
 
<i>Daria 2</i> picks up shortly after the first one left off. Daria feels guilty about destroying the Fashion Club's reputation, while Jane has been having nightmares about people dying in grotesque ways... including Daria. One of the deaths takes place soon after, as Tommy Sherman is murdered at Lawndale High by an unknown killer wearing a smiley mask. School psychologists think that it is the work of the depraved [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Ianuzzi[Todd Ianuzzi|Todd]] Boole, who tried to rape Daria in the bathroom during a Helpful Corn concert. Boole is put away in an asylum, and everything appears to go back to normal.
 
The movie jumps ahead three years. Daria and Jane now share an apartment while attending college. Trent has broken up with Daria and gone back to Monique, while Daria suffers from depression and increasingly graphic nightmares about Quinn and the Fashion Club. Jane helps her out of her funk by engaging her in lesbian sex; Daria willingly obliges. Meanwhile, Todd Boole has woken up out of his catatonic state and escaped the asylum, killing [[Mr. Van Driessen|David Van Driessen]] and a guard in the process.
 
Daria and Jane attend a Halloween party thrown by former classmates from Lawndale High. The party features a "jerk hunt," where Quinn, the designated "jerk," is chased down and thrown into a dumpster. Outraged, Quinn blames Daria for destroying her reputation. Before the end of the night, there are several more student deaths at the hands of Smiley. [[Brian Danielson]] and [[Agent Flemming|Agent Fleming]] show up to investigate the crimes, making Jane their prime suspect after finding [[Jesse Moreno]] dead.
 
Meanwhile, Andrea is in a panic, thinking that with her sexual history, she will be next. She explains the rules of horror movies to Daria, stating that Smiley has killed everyone who is connected to her, which means that he will soon go after Daria. However, she doesn't know if Daria is fated to survive because her only sexual activity lately has been with Jane, and there are no horror cliches involving lesbians.

===Screen Captures===
 
The Adelman brothers photoshopped several existing movie and publicity shots to create authentic-looking [http://web.archive.org/web/20060106233145/people.musc.edu/~adelmaas/Dariana/Movie_2_pics.html "screen captures"] for the movie. Most of these "screen captures" consisted of cast members covered with gore or about to get killed by Smiley. As a whole, the <i>Daria 2</i> photos appear to be more polished and authentic than the first movie's,. but sinceSince the Unofficial Daria Movie Rumor page was taken offline, links to several photos have been lost. Fortunately, Thea Zara archived the [http://www.sh33pie.com/dtm/Movie_2_pics.html photos] on a separate site before the official site went offline.
 
===Reviews===
 
The Adelman brothers featured a review from fanfic author [[BenjaminBen BreekBreeck]] who, as with the reviewers of the first <i>Daria</i> movie, read the script and then pretended to have seen the actual film. Breek states that <i>Daria 2</i> is not as bad as its predecessor, but due to Daria's lack of screen-time, this should not be considered a <i>Daria</i> movie.
 
===Commercial===
Line 76 ⟶ 78:
==Trivia==
* The Adelmans ran their commercial for <i>Daria 2</i> in [[Kara Wild]]'s fanfic, "[[An Uneasy Marriage]]", in the second "Commercial Hell."
* One of the screen captures (now lost) contained patrons at a [[Good Time Chinese Restaurant]]. The patrons were Wild, [[Michelle Klein-Hass]], Klein-Hass's husband, and [[Chad Page]].
