The 80s - The Initiation (1984) - The night new blood is pledged.

An oft overlooked entry in the golden era of slashers. Daphne Zuniga ("The Sure Thing", "Spaceballs") stars as Kelly, a college student who has been plagued by vague dreams of a horrible childhood incident. The past comes back to terrorize Kelly when she, along with other pledges, are stalked by a maniac in an empty mall overnight as part of their initiation ritual.

Clu Gulager (Elm Street 2, Return of the Living Dead) Vera Miles (Psycho) and soap opera star Hunter Tylo co-star.

Cool, bloody pics!

I would of put the trailer in the OP but it has a scene of nudity in it.

**Melis** · 04-10-2016, 07:22 PM

Okay, I understand.

One thing I don't like about this one is the setting. It's supposed to be a mall but it looks like a stale office complex.

haven't seen this in ages!!

It's been about a year for me. It has a nice twist ending.

**Melis** · 04-12-2016, 07:27 PM

I like twists.

The location used for the mall was the Dallas International Market. The film was only allowed to shoot in there when the place closed up at 7 at night. They would have to wrap up by 7 in the morning when the place opened.

Neat factoid

It takes some time to get going but when it does it just takes the characters out one by one.
