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.
