SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PARTS 3-5 | Extras: Further Viewing

In this very special Further Viewing episode, we're going to take a good look at one of the weirdest horror franchises to ever exist.

After a controversial first offering and a so-bad-its-good sequel, the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT series inexplicably still managed to produce an additional three films, all released straight-to-video. While the first of these releases, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 3: BETTER WATCH OUT! concludes the Ricky Caldwell storyline from the first two films, Parts 4 & 5 (INITIATION and THE TOYMAKER, respectively) tell standalone stories set against the backdrop of Christmas, courtesy of SOCIETY and BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR filmmaker Brian Yuzna.

The story behind these sequels is as bizarre as the films themselves, so as a little added bonus to our recent Cinema Shock Christmas Special, our gift to you is an episode exploring the history behind the remainder of the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT franchise.

Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.
