Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation (1990) synopsis: “A reporter investigating the bizarre death of a woman who leaped from a building in flames finds herself mixed up in a cult of witches who are making her part of their sacrificial ceremony during the Christmas season.”

Starring: Neith Hunter, Tommy Hinkley, Clint Howard, and Reggie Bannister
Director: Brian Yuzna

On this bonus episode of Podcasting After Dark, Corey keeps the Silent Night, Deadly Night train going with part 4: Initiation! This one is a huge step up from part 3 but still a far cry from where the franchise began, and not very Christmasy. Hopefully the 5th and final installment will stick the landing. Look for that mini-review coming soon!
