I’m sure he will, if we give him the chance. But I’m not going to. I still don’t believe him at all.

He has the chance now, in theory–his PM says passing the book is a Day action.

Whoops, need to look more carefully.

Yeah, if he is telling the truth, he should pass the Necronminicon to one of the confirmds (don’t tell ahead of time which one, though).

yeah, as long as you don’t start quoting yourself and posting introductory paragraphs from random Wikipedia pages

and changing what’s inside the quotes, even if it is to correct your own spelling errors.

If you’re out on the road,  
Feeling lonely, and sooooo cold,  
All you have to do is caaaaall my name, and I’ll be there  
On the next train…!

Don’t sweat it. If I had to sit through dozens of High School Musical auditions I wouldn’t be in any shape to do anything for a couple of days.

Anyone interested?

Absolutely. If you’re going to go down, go down fighting. As my father told me the day I left for boarding school.

**EXT THE AREA SURROUNDING THE CABIN - DUSK**

_Close on the face of SPECIAL ED_

SPECIAL ED  
Kill him!

_Pull out to reveal the entire group, clustered together, once again armed with a variety of lethal-looking household implements. The camera dramatically reverses perspective, and suddenly we are looking through the eyes of the mob, straight at a terrified BREWHA (John Voight)._

BREWHA  
You all have the wrong idea. Killing me won’t solve anything. Just give me until tomorrow. Those Deadites are out there in the woods somewhere… spooky, right? I can help, please, don’t.

_Close on a knife, upraised by RAPIER42. It falls. We heaar a wet, gurgling cry, and then, silence. Cut to: the expectant faces of the mob, as they stare down at BREWHA’s motionless form._

PEDESCRIBE  
Don’t worry, you guys. Any minute now he’s going to make with the snarling and the ass-face and the bad puns.

_Another pause. BREWHA does not make with anything. Blood pools about his upper torso._

ALMOST HUMAN  
Crap! I thought we had one.

_The group turns slowly, sadly, walks toward the Cabin. Cut to:_

**INT THE CABIN DINING ROOM – NIGHT**

_The surviving players are gathered around the dining room table. TOTAL LOST raises a glass._

TOTAL LOST  
To brewha. He was always respectful of my chastity, that moron.

THE OTHERS  
(Variously)  
To brewa!

**Brewha** , The Famous Actor, a Pro-

_Close on TOTAL LOST’s wine glass. Suddenly, the liquid inside is illuminated, by a flood of bright red light coming through the cabin windows. The table begins to shake, plates and cups sliding to the floor with a fearsome crash. The group rises. There is a LOUD BANG at the cabin door. All rise and turn to face it._

PEDESCRIBE  
This is not cool.

_The door flies open, and off its hinges, crashing into the opposite wall. BREWHA enters. A great bloody gap is still visible where his ribcage used to be. Red flames lick at his head and shoulders. His face is not twisted in the way of the Deadites, but his eyes have gone a flat white. When he enters, he does so by floating several inches above the ground._

BREWHA  
Am I late? Did I miss the keg?

_He waves his arm, and RAPIER42 flies back into the kitchen, to be pinned against the refrigerator. AMRUSSEL and ZERIEL try to bum rush BREWHA, but with a casual gesture he causes them to spin into one another. Another gesture, and an army of snakes emerge from the couch on which PEDESCRIBE and HOCKEY MONKEY have been thrown, wrapping them and hissing threateningly._

SPECIAL ED  
(Master of the obvious)  
Brewha is a Deadite!

BREWHA  
Wrong! I am not a Deadite. I am a god!

_He waves his arms again, and all the living students are drawn as one in front of him. He looms above them._

BREWHA  
You fools! I am the most famous actor in this movie! Surely you know that when a famous actor seems to have a small part, it’s inevitably because he turns out to be the secret leader of the insidious and evil forces! Well, brewha, secret leader of the insidious and evil forces, pleased to meet you.  
(Laughs)  
And you thought I was a Deadite, just another worthless zombie like my mindless minions? Hah!

PEDESCRIBE  
(Aside, to HOCKEY MONKEY)  
Did he just say “Hah!” Who says that?

BREWHA  
I am the master of a great and dark magic. I bound the souls of these Deadite visitors to my own, using that magic, and together we knew we could conquer not only you pathetic fleshbags, but the entire human race! Until you started killing us! That put a crimp in the planning a bit! But then, I found this.

_He produces a book bound in what is almost certainly not human flesh._

BREWHA  
Necronomicon Ex Mortis: loosely translated: Book of the Dead. I pilfered it off DIGGITCAMARA after I smashed his head in. He was the one who brought the Deadites here in the first place, foolishly reading that book to satisfy his own human curiosity. The Book gives me powers even greater than those I had before, and now I will use them to slaughter you, one by one, and transform you into a Deadite army capable of threatening the entire world, generating a sequel and millions in residuals, and then another sequel, and then sequel after sequel after –

\*There is a loud BANG. BREWHA’s eyes widen, and he falls silent. After a moment, he looks down – there is now a huge hole where he heart ought to be. He pitches face forward on the floor, dead.

From behind him, COMETOTHEDARKSIDEWEHAVECOOKIES looks up through streaks of blood. A shotgun is in her hand, smoke trailing from the barrel. Her lip curls.\*

COOKIES  
Maybe they can show your sequels at the late night double feature… in hell.

_COOKIES expires._

**brewha** , The Famous Actor, a Scum Godfather, has been lynched.

_The crowd gathers around the Necronomicon. It is attached to a long cord, at the end of which is a wicked dagger. A bullseye has been roughly painted on the back of the Necronomicon. Determinedly, AMRUSSELL lifts the dagger and raises it above his head._

MILLIT THE FRAIL  
(From the corner)  
Nooooooooooo!

\*AMRUSSELL drives the dagger down into the book. A sickly green mist floods out of the book, encircling MILLIT. We hear her shouts as she is dragged into hell. When the mists clear, it is Day. The camera pans across the faces of the students.

It is over.\*

_Cut to_

**EXT OUTSIDE THE CABIN - DAY**

TITLE CARD  
One year later…

_Five college students enter. One is already talking._

CATINASUIT  
…and more than half of them ended up dead. True story. I heard it from David Baxter who heard it from Amy Winn who heard it from her sister Devin who was friends with Ashley before she died. So I thought: a haunted cabin in an isolated wood, where people have been horribly murdered not a year in the past? Perfect place for spring break! Now, people will be arriving soon, so…

\*The students cross out of the frame, leaving the camera addressing the woods, the side of the cabin, and the nearby wood chipper. Slowly the camera closes on the wood chipper, and inside, to where the HEAD OF HOOPY FROOD lies dormant, eyes closed.

HIS EYES OPEN.

Blackout.\*

Oh, and, incidentally, I lied.

Here’s my _real_ real Role PM:

> [@](#):
>
> Mafia: Evil Dead - Role PM  
> Welcome to the game; you are the Sorority President
> 
> ALIGNMENT: Town  
> GENERIC: Mason  
> WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished.
> 
> BACKGROUND:
> 
> There is a group likes yours in every horror movie. There are three of you, and you always walk down the hallway in a row.
> 
> You are the big cheese, the queen bee, the mistress of all you survey; you are the President of the Xeta Xeta Xeta sorority. As far as the people who are attending this party are concerned, you are god. You’re played by Rachel McAdams, or possibly Rose McGowan (what, you never saw Jawbreaker? For shame!). Your parents may have neglected to pass on the “sweet” gene, but fortunately, you got two copies of the gene for ass-kicking.
> 
> This party was your party from the ground up. You planned it, created the guest list, designed the posters and had them distributed by an army of brainless pledges, ordered the booze, and even served as bouncer to keep out a few of the more egregiously uninvited.
> 
> And now a bunch of crashers think they’re going to ruin spring break just because they happen to be dead? Forget it. You’ll bury them. Again.
> 
> POWERS:
> 
> 1. Apart from your ongoing responsibility to set a good example to the teeming masses with your sense of style and razor wit, you are also confident that hockey monkey, your Vice President, and Pleonast, your Treasurer, are neither heinous Deadites nor working against the interests of the halfway decent people in attendance. Use this information as you will.
> 
> You and your fellow XXX members practically speak your own language, and so can communicate privately even in broad daylight. Use the Mason board at \<snip\>
> 
> 1. It can’t quite be said that your word is law, but even in this chaotic environment, the President of Xeta Xeta Xeta holds some sway. Your vote will be the deciding vote in the event of any tie in the lynch voting; if your vote is not for one of the leading candidates, you will be given the opportunity to break the tie anyway.
> 
> Should you die, this responsibility will pass automatically to your Vice President. Should she die as well, it will pass to the Treasurer. Should all three of you die, the advantage will shift; the Deadites will gain the tie-breaking power.
