some director's break from reality.

Just in time

for the finale, Mr. Betz?

F***. Mimesis.

- Pardon me?

- Mimesis.

It means "imitation. "

More specifically,

life imitating art.

And in this case,

it seems as art

has inspired a couple

of sick fucks to imitate it.

Wait. Let the man speak.

What's it gonna be next time?

A heavy metal song?

- A video game?

- Or in this case, you.

A has-been filmmaker

who wanted to go out with a bang.

That's what everyone will think

when we're done.

You know what's so pathetic

about you whack jobs?

You're never inspired

to hurt yourselves.

No, it's much easier

to hurt somebody else.

Women, children,

animals, whatever.

Why is that?

Well, maybe

just deep down inside,

you're frightened little children

who didn't get enough love

from Mommy and Daddy.

Or maybe

you're just afraid to admit

that it's easier

to hurt other people

than to live and love.

You are pathetic.

Are you done?

Keith, what are you doing up there?

I'm getting the shears.

That's it. I'm done.

I'm so done. F*** this house.

Dead bodies.

Kill f***ing zombies.

Sh*t. F***.

Sh*t. Let go!

Let me go!

God damn it!

Sh*t!

Sweet.

Let me see that.

He wouldn't do that.

A Romero zombie

wouldn't act like that.

Where did we find

that a**hole anyway?

- We gotta go.

- Right.

Tell him to get his ass over here

and finish her off.

What's the matter with you?

You're gonna ruin

everything, all right?

You have no sense of style.

You don't understand continuity.

You're making a mess, okay?

Now why don't you get in there

and finish Judith off for me, all right?

- All right, got it.

- Thank you.

Shh, shh, shh.

Wait, wait. Relax, relax.

Relax, it's me, it's me.

It's me, okay?

I'll cut you loose.

Relax, relax.

Shh. Relax.

Payback's a b*tch.

Ls that it?

Did we get them all?

L... I think we got them all.

No, this is all wrong.

The hero is missing.

We need to find the black guy.

He's gotta get shot in the head

just like in the...

just like in the movie.

I think the next one

should be...

"The... "

Hills...

Have...

"Eyes. "

You know, I'm thinking that we should do

"Friday the 13th" next.

I mean, I know this camp

that would be perfect.

- Relax, "Barbra. "

- F*** you!

Okay.

F***ing little b*tch.

Give me that!

No! Let go of me!

What do you want me to do

with this one?

The kid in the movie dies.

- I can't.

- Don't make me come over there.

I'm kind of busy right now.

F***!

I'm sorry.

B*tch!

B*tch! F***.

F***!

What?

You should be thanking me.

You all got to live

a horror movie.

There you are, babe.

Tell them.

Tell them what a rush this is.

What can I say?

The movies made me do it.

Give me that.

No, they didn't.

We make our own hell.

We're coming to you live

from Pittsfield Township,

where events of a gruesome mass murder

are just now unfolding.

What we can tell you is that 10 bodies

have been found dead

and that number is expected to climb

before this is over.

Joining us now

is Lieutenant Bill Hinzman,

who was first on the scene.

Lieutenant, what can you tell us

about this horrific event?

It looks like we're dealing

with six or seven individuals

who tortured and murdered

complete strangers.

Can you please elaborate?

Well, the alleged perpetrators

kidnapped, drugged,

and then forced the group

to participate

in a deadly game of role-play.

Lieutenant,

we've heard that the killers

are trying to imitate a horror film.

Ls this true?

After questioning the survivors,

yes, that is true.

The killers are trying to imitate

a classic horror movie.

Can you tell us which one?

"Night of the Living Dead. "
