Aww snap!

Don't speak out of turn gutterslag!

Seriously dude?

It's just a prank.

I'm gonna go take a smoke.

Alright. You guys are dismissed.

Go get dressed.

I'm not even in the frat. I don't get it!

Katie, come on. Axle's just messing with us. It's OK. I promise.

I can't believe it!

Look, you've had too much to drink tonight and you're freaking out.

It's gonna be OK.

That's easy for you to say when your name wasn't called!

Did you hear?

Yeah. Where's Aden?

He went out back.

Get inside!

I'm calling the police.

What do we do?

Lock the door and windows.

Police:
M'am, there's nothing I can do.

Police:
It's Halloween night. We get a million prank calls.

No it's not a prank! Our friend is hanging from a f***ing tree!

Police:
Look, I can send someone in a little bit, but your friend is probably just messing with you.

Uhgh!!

That's it. I'm not gonna stay here and wait to die.

Oh my God, he's been in the house!

Get to safety!

What are you doing?

He's only after you!

You stupid Pledge!

Why are you doing this?

Don't you remember me?

Kevin Peterson?

Or as you would always call me: Sheepshit!

I never meant to hurt you man!

What happened to you was an accident!

You treat Pledges like dirt, and that is no accident.

DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!

Now drink.

You five made my freshman year a living hell.

I can only imagine that's exactly where you're going.

The sun will rise...
