Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

FADE IN
INT. DECREPIT BEDROOM IN FRATERNITY HOUSE
A bunch of college freshmen FRATERNITY PLEDGES are sitting
in a circle on the floor of a dimly lit room chugging and
passing around pitchers of beer as several UPPERCLASSMEN
FRATERNITY BROTHERS stand around egging them on.
Chug!

FRATERNITY BROTHERS
Chug! Chug! Chug!

The pledges do their best in pounding the pitchers as beer


spills across their faces and onto their shirts.
Suddenly, one of the pledges vomits.
another puking as well.

This quickly leads to

Upon seeing this, the pledges stop passing the pitchers


around which just angers CHAD, the strict, white-bred
pledge master of the fraternity.
CHAD
Its hell week bitches! Do it for the
guy sitting to the left of you. Do it
for the guy sitting to the right of you.
But most of all, do it for you. Do it
for your own personal sense of pride!
(pauses)
Keep going pledges! Dont stop! Youve
all seen puke before!
After a few moments, another pledge turns and pukes on the
guy sitting next to him.
One of the fraternity brothers continues filling the empty
pitchers with beer from a keg and passes them back into the
circle.
CHAD
You guys are a team, you are one.
Thats why youre here tonight, to
learn how to act like one. Were
going to keep this up until you all
puke. We can be here all night, I
dont care, I have nothing better to
do other than smoke weed and drink

CHAD (contd)
beer. This is it fellas, one week
before you officially become brothers
in Zeta Beta Alpha, assuming you make
it through hell week. I need you all
to start acting like brothers!
Chad walks up and gets in the face of another pledge that
pukes.
CHAD
Good. Good. Thats it. Throw everything up.
(moves back to center
of room)
Come on people, I want to see internal
organs emptied onto the floor!
One of the pledges throws up a little blood in his puke
which makes Chad happy.
CHAD
There you go, nice. Good effort!
Chad brings the chugging to a conclusion, after the last
couple of pledges finally puke.
CHAD
OK, it looks like everyones completed
their mission. I must say though, you
are the sorriest sacks of freshmen shits
Ive ever laid my eyes on at Rockefeller
University. I want you guys to do this
much quicker tomorrow. Go on, get out
of here, go home.
The pledges all stand up and stumble out of the room.
CHAD
Hold up Jasper.
JASPER, a skinny, awkward, frail, boyish-looking freshmen,
whos bringing up the rear of the exiting pledges, turns
back to Chad.
JASPER
Yes Chad?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
(angrily)
Its Mr. pledge master to you.
seat back down.

Take a

Jasper sits back down in the middle of the room, surrounded


by puke and empty pitchers. Only a few fraternity brothers
remain in the room with Chad.
CHAD
What kind of name is Jasper anyways?
JASPER
It was my grandfathers name.
named after my grandfather.

I was

CHAD
Well it sounds fucking stupid.
dumbest name Ive ever heard.

Jasper,

JASPER
Sorry Mr. pledge master.
CHAD
Look, youre a hundred and nothing
pounds, youre a geek and you have
the social skills of a four year old
autistic kid. Why do you think you
belong in Zeta Beta Alpha?
JASPER
Because I want to belong to something.
CHAD
But why ZBA?
JASPER
Because you guys gave me a bid.
CHAD
And you think your ZBA material?
JASPER
I hope so.
CHAD
(thinking)
Prove it. Prove your loyalty.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

How?

JASPER
Ill do anything to fit in.

Chad notices a pitcher sitting next to Jasper thats


halfway filled with puke.
CHAD
Is that your puke?

Yes.

JASPER
(confused)
I think so.
CHAD

Drink it.
Chads comments elicit evil laughs from the fraternity
brothers standing behind him.
JASPER
You want me to drink my own puke?
CHAD
Do you want to be in the fraternity or
not?
JASPER
I do, but dont you think this is a
little excessive?
CHAD
You can never be too excessive.
you dont want to be here.
(turns to the guys)
Should we blackball him fellas?

I guess

Jasper stands up and starts walking over to the door.


JASPER
I dont want to do this.
DOMINIC, a muscular older fraternity brother, walks behind
Jasper and puts his large hand around the back of his neck.
CHAD
Im sorry, I never said you had a
choice. Dominic, will you please
give Jasper the pitcher of puke?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


Dominic leads him back to the middle of the room and hands
him the half full pitcher of vomit.
Crying, Jasper slowly puts the pitcher to his lips and
takes a sip of puke to the delight of the fraternity
brothers.
TODD, another white-bred, preppy fraternity brother, high
fives Dominic.
TODD
Holy shit thats nuts! Hes like our
very own little dog, we can have him
do anything we want!
Dominic, with his hand still on Jaspers neck, forces him
to take another sip which makes him cough and puke up on
the floor.
CHAD
(laughs)
Ha, ha, ha, I think we have your pledge
name, from now on were going to call
you Puke Face.
Jasper continues coughing as tears stream down his cheeks.
CHAD
OK, Ive had my fun, go on get out of
here. Take a shower, you smell like
shit.
Jasper leaves the room with his head slung down low.
INT. JASPERS DORM ROOM
Jasper is sitting on his bed crying as his roommate,
RUSSELL, whos also pledging the same fraternity, stands
there questioning him.
RUSSELL
Do you want to tell me what happened
after I left? I saw they kept you there
afterwards.
JASPER
Theyre just a bunch of assholes.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


RUSSELL
What did they do?
JASPER
Ahhh nothing.
RUSSELL
Come on, come on, what did they do?
JASPER
They made me drink my own puke.
RUSSELL
What?
JASPER
They made me drink my own puke.
RUSSELL
Thats ummm, disgusting.
JASPER
You think?
RUSSELL
I mean, last week Chad made me eat six
jalapeno peppers in a row, I thought that
was pretty bad. But no, I didnt have
to drink my own puke.
JASPER
It was gross.
RUSSELL
I can imagine.
JASPER
No, no you cant.
(stewing)
I hate those fucking guys, especially
that entitled douchebag prick Chad.
RUSSELL
So why dont you just quit?
JASPER
I cant quit Russell.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

Why not?
fun.

RUSSELL
Youre obviously not having

JASPER
Because I need this fraternity.
a loser without it.

Im

RUSSELL
I dont think youre a loser, just a
little peculiar.
JASPER
Thanks, but I think most people on campus
look at me as a loser. Zeta will at
least give me a certain level of
respectability, a sense of belonging.
RUSSELL
OK, if thats what you think.
JASPER
Its true.
RUSSELL
Well on the bright side, at least you
only have a few days before you become
a brother.
JASPER
You think the hazing will stop just
because I become a brother?
RUSSELL
Yes.
JASPER
I fear this is only the beginning.
RUSSELL
Itll be fine, trust me.
JASPER
(exacerbated)
The only reason I like going over to the
house is because they have Netflix.
RUSSELL
That is key.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


JASPER
The only reason.
RUSSELL
Look, Im going down to the food court
to pick up a slice. Do you want to come?
JASPER
No, I just want to hang here.
RUSSELL
Well do you want me to pick up anything?
JASPER
No, Ill probably be passed out by the
time you get back.
RUSSELL
OK, suit yourself.
Once Russell leaves, Jasper stands up from his bed and
walks over to a floor-to-ceiling mirror.
He looks at himself intently, and menacingly, in the
mirror.
JASPER
Fuck you Chad, fuck you Todd, fuck you
Dominic, fuck all you brothers that
constantly pick on me. It might not
happen tomorrow, it might not happen
next week, but as god as my witness
I will get my revenge against everyone
that wrongs me in life. That I can
promise.
INT. LECTURE HALL
Later that week, Jasper is sitting in a cavernous lecture
hall among dozens of CLASSMATES as the PROFESSOR goes on
about nothing in particular.
Hes wearing a fraternity jersey with press-on letters that
spell out Puke Face on the back of it. A huge red brick
sits on the table top in front of him which he carries
around as part of his duties as a pledge.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

10

Suddenly, the back door of the hall opens and Todd and
Dominic enter. They walk down the steps towards Jasper who
is sitting on the aisle.
With no regard for the professor whos in the middle of his
lecture, they engage Jasper in a quiet conversation.
TODD
Jasper, grab your brick and lets go.
JASPER
But Im in the middle of class?
Dominic takes his textbook and notebook off of the table.
DOMINIC
Fuck this class, you have more important
things to do.
JASPER
Like what?
DOMINIC
You and your fellow pledge pukes need to
prepare the house for our party tonight.
JASPER
But I cant, I have class.
DOMINIC
Not anymore.
TODD
Hey, its not our fault you have class on
Fridays.
DOMINIC
Come on, we can do this the easy way or the
hard way.
JASPER
Whats the difference?
DOMINIC
The easy way is that you grab your brick
and stand up and walk out with us.
JASPER
And the hard way?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


DOMINIC
I fireman carry you out of here while Todd
spanks your ass on the way out.
JASPER
(thinking)
OK, Ill go.
Dominic playfully slaps Jasper on the face which actually
hurts him.
DOMINIC
Good boy.
Jasper grabs his brick and walks out in the middle of the
lecture with Dominic and Todd.
INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE
KITCHEN
Jasper, Russell and two other PLEDGES are cleaning up the
beyond messy kitchen.
Jasper and Russell are scrubbing the grease off the
overhead of the industrial stove while the other two guys
are cleaning and drying the dishes by hand.
Several drops of grease fall onto Jaspers arms and white
t-shirt as he cleans the overhead part of the stove.
JASPER
This is beyond disgusting. Ill never
be able to get these grease stains out
of my shirt.
RUSSELL
Yeah, well just have to burn our shit
after this.
Chad walks into the kitchen drinking a forty of Olde
English and watches the four clean.
He goes over to inspect the stove and points out a spot on
the top of the stove that still has grease on it.
CHAD
You missed a spot.
(MORE)

11

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

12

CHAD (contd)
(laughs)
Here, let me help.
Chad shakes up his beer and tosses some of it onto the spot
which then ends up dripping down on Jaspers head.
CHAD
Keep up the shitty work bitches.
Chad walks out of the room as Jasper fumes.
JASPER
(whispers to himself)
Keep it up asshole, keep it up.
RUSSELL
What did you say?
JASPER
Oh, nothing.
Todd walks into the kitchen drinking his own 40 ounce Bud
Light beer.
TODD
OK, listen up jerk offs. After you
tools are done cleaning the kitchen,
I need you assholes to go to the
school cafeteria and steal some
fruit for tonights hooch.
JASPER
Do you mind asking a few of the other
pledges? Id like to go back to my
dorm room and take a shower after this.
Im a mess.
Todd angrily gets right into his face.
TODD
What did you say puke face?
JASPER
Im justIm justIm just saying itd
be nice if I could

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

13

TODD
(interrupts)
Shut your mouth puke face. Im the
social chair around here and when it
comes to parties and party set-up,
what I say goes. And I say to get
your lazy fucking asses to the
cafeteria and steal us some motherfucking fruit when youre done
cleaning. You got it?
JASPER
Yes sir.
Todd leaves the room as Jasper and Russell go back to
scrubbing the stoves overhead.
Another glob of grease trickles down the side of the
metallic stove top and drips onto Jaspers shirt.
JASPER
God damn it.
INT. SCHOOLS CAFETERIA
Jasper, Russell and the two other pledges are standing at a
long table thats filled with fruit in the middle of the
busy cafeteria.
Jaspers holding a backpack and looking around
conspicuously to make sure no ones watching him before
putting several slices of watermelon into it.
After he does this a couple times, TRENT, the muscular,
athletic pledge class president, walks over to Jasper with
a look of displeasure on his face.
TRENT
What the hell you doing squirt?
JASPER
(surprised)
Oh Trent, what are you doing here?
TRENT
As pledge class president, Chad asked
me to stop by to make sure you idiots
didnt fuck this up.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


JASPER
Trent, were fellow pledges, you shouldnt
be calling me an idiot.
TRENT
Well when you do stupid things Im going
to call you an idiot.
JASPER
What are you talking about?
do that was so stupid?

What did I

TRENT
Look at what your other pledge brothers
are doing and then look at what youre
doing.
Jasper looks at the other side of the table to see his
fellow pledge brothers secretly filling their backpacks
with durable fruits like apples, pears and bananas.
JASPER
Yeah theyre doing the same thing Im
doing.
TRENT
No theyre not fucktard.

Look closer.

Jasper squints to take a closer look at them but doesnt


see anything different.
JASPER
I dont see anything theyre doing that
Im not.
TRENT
Jesus dude, did you even party in high
school bro?
JASPER
Not really. I mean I did go to the school
dance once or twice, but I didnt really
like it.
TRENT
Chad is right, you are a nerd. Look, we
need fruit thats going to really soak
up the alcohol; apples, pears, bananas

14

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

15

Trent reaches into Jaspers backpack and takes out a piece


of watermelon.
TRENT (contd)
not this watermelon shit. This shit
wont keep any alcohol in at all, itll
just go right through it. Hows this
going to fuck people up when they eat
it? It wont.
Trent throws the watermelon slice on the floor then grabs
his backpack and pours the remaining slices back onto the
table.
TRENT
Now, do your job, do it right and get
back to the fraternity house ASAP.
As a pledge class were only as strong
as our weakest link and god damn it
youre keeping us down. Im a winner,
I want to be surrounded by winners.
Start winning in life or get the fuck
out.
Trent leaves while Russell walks over to console Jasper.
RUSSELL
That was a little harsh and unnecessary.
JASPER
(grinning evilly)
Thats OK, just another one to put on
the list.
RUSSELL
(confused)
What list?
JASPER
Oh nothing, lets just get the fruit and
get out of here.
EXT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE, FRONT YARD NIGHT
The party has just started and there is a long line of COEDS waiting to get inside the house.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

16

A few FRATERNITY BROTHERS are manning the door as the


guests file in, some are carrying their own six packs while
others are openly flaunting their own bongs.
A couple of PLEDGES are standing on ladders hanging a huge
banner that says WELCOME TO THE WOOLY MAMMOTH to
advertise the party.
A young FEMALE looks up at the sign inquisitively.
FEMALE IN LINE FOR PARTY
Wooly Mammoth? What is that?
FRAT BROTHER MANNING THE DOOR
Only the coolest thing in the history of
The world. Wooly Mammoth is the jungle
juice we make. Its so legendary throughout all our chapters that we named our
Fall semester party after it.
FEMALE IN LINE FOR PARTY
It must be good then.
FRAT BROTHER MANNING THE DOOR
(laughs)
You must be a freshman.
FEMALE IN LINE FOR PARTY
I am.
FRAT BROTHER MANNING THE DOOR
Its not just good, its the best. Some
of the brothers call it the panty
dropper.
FEMALE IN LINE FOR PARTY
(smiles)
Really? Im looking forward to drinking
it.
FRAT BROTHER MANNING THE DOOR
And Im looking forward to watching you
drink it.
(winks at her)
Ill catch up with you inside.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE


BATHROOM
A bunch of FRATERNITY BROTHERS are standing around watching
two other brothers making jungle juice inside a large
shower area.
They are mixing large bags of sugar, gallons of Hi-C fruit
punch and handles of cheap vodka into large, industrial
garbage cans.
Next they grab the backpacks the pledges used and dump the
fruit in too.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
We need to mix this up.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #2
How are we going to do that?
The two guys look around trying to find something to use to
mix up the contents, when they dont see anything they just
look at each others arms and shrug.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
Ahhh, better than nothing.
The two roll up one of their sleeves, dip their arms down
into the garbage can and start mixing the juice.
ZACH, the preppy-looking fraternity president, makes his
way through the crowd so he can be the first one to try out
the concoction.
ZACH
OK, watch out, watch out everyone, I
want to taste the hooch.
The two guys stop mixing as one of them hands him a Solo
cup of juice.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #2
Certainly. Here you go Mr. President.
Zach takes a sip and savors it for a moment, swishing it
around in his mouth, before giving his judgment.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

ZACH
Goodnot great yet.
Zach looks around and sees another handle of vodka sitting
in the corner of the bathroom.
ZACH (contd)
It needs another handle of vodka.
He grabs the bottle and empties it into the garbage can.
ZACH (contd)
There, that should do it.
Zach hands the cup back to one of the mixers who scoops up
more juice from the garbage can so he can have his own
taste.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
Its perfect now.
He passes the cup over to Zach so he can have his own sip.
ZACH
I concur. As President of this chapter,
I hereby announce that this batch of
Wooly Mammoth is edible and fucking
delicious.
The crowd roars in excitement as they start grabbing Solo
cups to pour themselves some punch.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
(to the other mixer)
OK, lets grab the gin so we can make
the angry hooch batch now.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #2
Lets do it.
CHAPTER ROOM
Its the middle of the party and the dimly-lit chapter room
is packed body to body with dancing co-eds and others who
are hanging around in small groups drinking.
Jasper, whos walking around by himself, grabs a cold beer
from a garbage can thats full of them then leans against a
wall to watch all the action.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


After taking a few sips, a cute, nave-looking freshman
girl named TIFFANY walks over to him.
TIFFANY
Hi.
JASPER
(awkwardly)
Hello.
TIFFANY
Do you belong to this fraternity?
JASPER
Yeswell kindabut no, yes, yes I do.
TIFFANY
You seem to be unsure of yourself.
JASPER
(whispers to himself)
You have no idea.
TIFFANY
What was that?
JASPER
Oh nothing. I just meant that Im a
pledge right now so Im not officially
a brother yet.
TIFFANY
A pledgeso youre a freshman?
JASPER
Yes.
Cool, so am I.

TIFFANY

TIFFANY

JASPER

19

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

20

TIFFANY
No, no, I like it.
JASPER
(smiles)
You do?
TIFFANY
Yes, its nice and original.
Just as Jaspers beginning to feel a connection, Chad comes
over and interrupts the budding chemistry.
CHAD
Hey puke face, some chick upchucked all
over one of the bathrooms. Grab a mop
and a bucket and clean it the fuck up.
TIFFANY
Why does he call you puke face?
JASPER
Its a long story.
CHAD
Ohhh, Im sorry but this isnt social
hour puke face.
JASPER
It is a party though, right?
CHAD
You talking back to me puke face? Its
a party for the brothers and girls, not
you. Pledges work during parties. Go
on, get going. Oh and by the way, the
same chick clogged the toilet with a
nasty shit, so go find a plunger too.
TIFFANY
Ewww, disgusting.
CHAD
Meh, some chicks arejust like some dudes
are.
JASPER
I cant wait for a few days from now when

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

21

JASPER (contd)
Im a brother and I dont have to put up
with this shit anymore.
CHAD
Ohh, whoa, whoa, whoa, who said youre
making it through? I still have a few
more challenges for you and can still
blackball your skinny, awkward ass.
JASPER
You would?
CHAD
Just continue doing what I tell you,
like getting a mop and plunger and
cleaning up the bathroom.
Jasper looks across the room and sees Trent making out with
two different females at the same time while receiving
high-fives from a couple of fraternity brothers.
JASPER
It was nice meeting you Tiffany.
Chad puts his arm around Tiffany as Jasper walks away
dejected both at his lot in the fraternity and how Trent, a
fellow pledge, is treated differently.
CHAD
Dont worry puke face, Ill take care
of your friend while youre gone. Ohh
and once youre done cleaning up the
puke and shit, bring a bottle of Fireball
and two, no make that four, beers up to
my room for me and her, bitch.
(looks at Tiffany)
So are you a freshman?
TIFFANY
Yes.
CHAD
I love freshmen. Hello, Im Chad, Im
the pledge master here.
TIFFANY
(smiles)
Ohhh, pledge master, that sounds powerful.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

22

CHAD
Well you know what they say, with great
power comes great responsibility.
TIFFANY
I find power sexy.
CHAD
And I find you absolutely beautiful.
TIFFANY
(slurring her speech)
Kiss me then.
CHAD
Ill do more than kiss you. Why dont
you check out my bedroom? Its nice,
I have this pretty dope lava lamp.
TIFFANY
Id love to.
Chad kisses Tiffany then grabs her hand and leads her over
to a staircase.
Incidentally, Jasper has been watching all of this go down
from the other side of the chapter room.
Once they vanish up the steps, Jasper shakes his head,
punches the door that leads to the hallway and walks out.
CHADS BEDROOM
Chad is on top of Tiffany having sex with her under the
sheets of his bed while the lava flows through the lamp
sitting on the table in front of them.
She groans satisfyingly after every thrust from Chad.
FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM
Meanwhile, Jasper is trying to unclog a shit-filled toilet
with a plunger while he coughs and covers his face with his
shirt to try to mask the stench.
JASPER
Damn, how does a girl create so much
shit? I thought they were all hot and
just shit roses? I guess I was wrong.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

23

CHADS BEDROOM
Now Tiffany is on top of Chad having sex with him as he
grabs her hips.
CHAD
Ohh baby, youre so good. Youre so
good. You might be a freshman but
you fuck like a junior.
FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM
Jasper slips and falls a couple times on puke as he mops up
the floor.
JASPER
This sucks. All I want to do is drink
a beer and maybe kiss a girl, but no,
Im standing here cleaning up puke and
shit.
CHADS BEDROOM
Tiffany is standing up already dressed in her pants and
putting her bra back on.
TIFFANY
Dont tell that nice guy Jasper that
anything happened.
Chad is lying in bed with his arms behind his neck as a
huge grin covers his face.
CHAD
What happened?
TIFFANY
You know what happened, you fucked me.
CHAD
And you fucked me.
TIFFANY
True, but either way, I dont think he
should know.
Why, who cares?

CHAD
Hes a tool anyways.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TIFFANY
Awww, hes a nice guy.
CHAD
You like him?
TIFFANY
I dont know, maybe, maybe not, but I
dont want this getting in the way of
anything. Either between him and me
or me and you.
CHAD
You did like it, right?
TIFFANY
I loved it.
Tiffany leans over and gives him a kiss.
CHAD
Ohhh, OK, I wont say anything.
TIFFANY
You promise?
Absolutely.
though?

CHAD
How about another blowjob

TIFFANY
Mmm, maybe later.
FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM
Just as Jasper is finishing mopping the floor, a GIRL
barrels through the door and runs right into an open stall
to puke.
However, although shes bent over the toilet she still
manages to totally miss it and her puke splashes all over
the floor.
PUKING GIRL
Oh, god damn.
Jasper throws his mop down in frustration knowing hell
have to clean that mess up as well.

24

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


JASPER
Fuck my shitty life.
CHAPTER ROOM
Jasper walks back into the room, grabs another beer from a
full garbage can and stands against the wall to watch the
action going on around him.
Suddenly a jovial Chad rushes through the room celebrating
his latest conquest with his fellow brothers before he
walks up to Jasper.
CHAD
Hey puke face, smell my fingers bitch!
Chad puts his index and middle fingers below Jaspers nose
which makes him immediately jerk his head back.
JASPER
What the
CHAD
(interrupts)
You know what that is?
Tiffanys twat!

Your girl

JASPER
Shes not my girl.
CHAD
After the last twenty minutes I can
definitely agree with that statement.
JASPER
Youre an asshole.
CHAD
I might be an asshole, but at least
Im an asshole that has stank and
saliva on his dick from a chick.
What do you have?
Chad gets closer to Jasper so he can sniff his shirt.
CHAD (contd)
Jesus Christ puke face you smell awful.

25

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

JASPER
There was a lot of puke in the bathroom.

Ha, ha.
work.

CHAD
(laughs)
OK then, keep up the lousy

Chad smacks Jasper on the back hard then runs away.


EXT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE, BACKYARD NIGHT
Two fraternity BROTHERS are hanging out of a third story
window with a funnel in their hands which is connected to a
long plastic tube leading to two fraternity BROTHERS
standing on the ground below.
One of the brothers shouts out to Zach, whos walking by,
to try out the three-story beer bong.
FRAT BROTHER WITH BEER BONG
Hey Zach, Hey Zach! Come over here and
try out our beer bong!
ZACH
Three stories, mighty impressive.
FRAT BROTHER WITH BEER BONG
Yeah, I made it in physics class. Here,
let me set you up.
The brother gives Zach the bong.
FRAT BROTHER WITH BEER BONG
You ready?
Zach gives the guys on the third floor a thumbs up which
leads them to pour three beers into the bong. The beer
travels down the tube and flawlessly into Zachs mouth.
Once hes done, Zach throws down the tube and high fives
the two other brothers as the gathering crowd cheers.
ZACH
Thats how you do it! Thats why Im
president! Because I drink like a
fucking man! Get me more of that
Wooly Mammoth from inside! And round
up some pledges for more drinking!

INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE


CHAPTER ROOM
A large space in the middle of the room has been cleared
out as Trent is in the process of doing a keg stand while
two other pledges hold up his legs.
The crowd is in the midst of counting the number of seconds
that hes doing the keg stand.
CROWD
555657585960!
At 60 seconds, Trent waves to the pledges to put him down.
The brothers standing around give him emphatic high-fives
to celebrate his accomplishment.
ZACH
OK, next pledge up, who wants to go?
Puke face, youre up next!
Jasper continues standing in the crowd, refusing to step
forward to the keg.
ZACH
Come on, come on puke face, step up!
The brothers standing behind Jasper push him forward.
ZACH
There we go! Dont be intimidated to
go after Trent, the man is an animal.
A specimen. OK guys, get his legs up
and lets start the count.
Two pledges grab Jaspers legs and tip him over the keg as
he grabs the tap.
CROWD
Onetwothreefour.
Jasper already cant chug anymore as the tap begins
shooting beer all over his face. He waves at the pledges
holding his legs up to put him down.
The crowd boos his piss poor effort.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

ZACH
Four seconds! Four seconds! Are you
serious with that four seconds shit?!?
You are such a fucking pussy!
Zach reaches into a trash can full of beer cans and passes
one to Jasper.
ZACH (contd)
Here puke face, why dont you take a
12 ounce of Busch Light, go to a bedroom and practice chugging in front
of a mirror.
The crowd starts pointing and laughing at Jasper. Some,
both guys and girls, even throw full beer cans at him with
a couple actually nailing him in the head.
Embarrassed, he quickly rushes through the crowd to exit
the room.
As he gets close to the door he sees Tiffany.
TIFFANY
Jasper, where are you going?
JASPER
Dont talk to me you slut.
With that, Jasper runs through the door and disappears
leaving Tiffany just standing there upset.
FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM
Jasper is sitting alone in a stall rocking back and forth
and crying while sipping his beer.
JASPER
(to himself)
I fucking hate everybody. I fucking
hate everybody. I fucking hate everybody.
LATER ON CHAPTER ROOM
The party has died out, most people have left and the ones
that remain are practically passed out on couches or lying
on the floor.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

29

The pledges are cleaning up around the room with mops,


brooms and even shovels. Theyre picking up beer cans,
broken bottles and empty pizza boxes and throwing them into
trash cans.
Chad stumbles into the room carrying a half full bottle of
vodka. He randomly walks up to a pledge and demands that
he take a shot from his bottle.
CHAD
Take a shot pledge!
Then he moves to the next pledge.
CHAD
Take a shot pledge!
Then to the next one.
CHAD
Take a shot bitch!
Chad then walks up the staircase to the second floor.
ZACHS BEDROOM
Zach, his girlfriend SARAH, Todd, his girl BECKY and Dom
and his girl, PATTY, all preppy-looking young females, are
lounging on a large couch in Zachs spacious bedroom.
The only light in the room is emanating from the TV while
they pass a bong around.
Suddenly Chad charges into the room, but his drunk and
exhausted friends barely move.
CHAD
Whats going on fuckos?!?
ZACH
Just chillin, watching old re-runs of
Threes Company. That Jack Tripper is
fucking hilarious. I can see why my
parents loved this show.
DOMINIC
And smoking some weedwere definitely
smoking some weed.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
Come on, thats boring as shit, lets
do something.
Dominic offers Chad the bong.
DOMINIC
You want to hit this?
CHAD
Might as well.
Chad takes a hit from the bong, coughs then continues on
with his original train of thought.
CHAD
Dont distract me motherfucker, as I
was saying, lets do something.
ZACH
Like what?
CHAD
I dont know, but what I do know is
we have a whole group of pledges
downstairs who we can abuse. Theyre
just cleaning the house right now.
SARAH
Why dont we just relax and watch some
TV, you guys always feel like you have
to be doing something. Cant you just
chill once in a while?
CHAD
Maybe you didnt hear me correctly the
first time around Sarah, we have pledges
downstairs just begging to be fucked
with.
ZACH
OK, but do you have any ideas?
CHAD
(thinking)
Lets have them swim to the fountain in
the lake on campus.

30

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TODD
Oh, I love that idea!
PATTY
Its so far away though.
TODD
Its worth it.
ZACH
And its tradition, every pledge class
has had to swim to the fountain at some
point.
CHAD
So we going to do it?
Zach looks at his watch and contemplates what to do.
SARAH
(hugs Zachs arm)
Come on baby, lets just stay in on
the couch. Im tired but Im sure
Ill be horny in a little bit.
ZACH
Yeah, lets do it.
SARAH
(groans)
Typical.
ZACH
It should be fun. Round up the guys,
whoevers left at the party and grab
some booze because were going on a
field trip.
CHAD
Thats what I like to hear.
SARAH
(to Zach)
Really baby?
ZACH
Babe, itll be fun, trust me.

31

32

CHAD
Whoo hoo!
Chad runs excitedly out of the room to gather everyone.
EXT. ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS NIGHT
LARGE LAKE ON CAMPUS
The pledges are standing in a line on the edge of the lake
facing all the fraternity brothers, their girlfriends and
many of the other party guests, both guys and girls.
Zach and Chad walk up and down the line of pledges, looking
at and judging them as they drink from their flasks.
ZACH
So Chad, what are we going to do with
this fine group of pledges as we wind
down their educational period? It is
hell week after all, shouldnt we give
them hell?
All of the brothers and their girlfriends watching on cheer
in approval.
CHAD
Of course Zach and I have an idea.
ZACH
Whats that?
CHAD
Its a time honored tradition for all
pledges to do.
ZACH
You all know how much we value tradition
here at Zeta Beta Alpha.
CHAD
Absolutely. So pledges, strip down to
your underwear.
The pledges look around to each other confused.
CHAD
Lets go, come on, get down to your
skivvies.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

33

RUSSELL
In front of everybody?
CHAD
Yeah, in front of everybody. And for
those of you who decided to go commando
tonight, well, sucks to be you.
TRENT
Fuck it, I dont care if these chicks
see my big dick through my boxers
briefs.
Trent takes off his shirt and pants.
CHAD
Thats the spirit! Why cant the rest
of you losers be more like your pledge
class president? Trent is the model
you should all be following.
The rest of the pledge class reluctantly strip down to
their underwear, some are wearing boxers, others boxer
briefs.
CHAD
Damn it, looks like weve got some
needle-dicked pledges in this class.
How the hell did we let that happen?
Small dicks everywhere. Unbelievable.
The fraternity brothers, girlfriends and party guests point
and laugh at some of the uglier pledges standing there in
their underwear.
ZACH
Alright, it looks like theyre ready
Chad. What are they going to do now?
CHAD
What else? Youre going to swim to the
fountain in the middle of the lake and
back.
RUSSELL
What? Its the middle of the night, its
pitch dark out, its cold and were all
drunk. Thats dangerous.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

34

CHAD
What are you a pussy?
RUSSELL
In this situation, I guess I am.
CHAD
Remember you can de-pledge at any time
pussy. You want to go home, leave all
your friends behind?
Russell stands there not saying anything.
CHAD (contd)
Good, get in the water. Everyone, get
in the water.
All the pledges, except Jasper, gingerly walk into the lake
up to their ankles.
Jasper remains standing on the edge of the lake looking
very concerned which leads Zach and Chad to approach him.
CHAD
What the fuck is the problem puke face?
JASPER
Im not a very good swimmer.
ZACH
Wait, are those Transformers on your
boxers?
Jasper grabs his boxers and points out Optimus Prime on
them.
JASPER
Yes, thats Optimus Prime, I like him.
Zach grabs a hold of the boxers and shows them off to the
assembled crowd.
ZACH
(laughs)
Hey look everybody, puke face wears
Transformers underwear!
Everyone in the crowd points and laughs at Jasper.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

35

CHAD
So what were you saying puke face?
JASPER
Im not a very good swimmer, Im drunk
so Im not sure I can make it to the
fountain and back.
CHAD
Thats OK, I understand. I think I
have a solution that should put you at
ease.
Great.

JASPER
Thanks for understanding.

CHAD
No problem, no problem at all.
Just as Jasper takes a deep breath to relax, Chad pulls his
boxers down, revealing his naked body to everybody.
Everyone at the lake laughs and mockingly point to his
small penis which totally embarrasses him.
Todd walks up to Jasper and points right at his crotch.
TODD
(laughs)
Jesus Christ puke face, youre hung
like a Tic Tac! Have your nuts even
dropped yet?
Zach comes over and puts his arm around Jaspers shoulder
then turns him around so hes facing the lake.
ZACH
Im sorry, Chad can be an ass sometimes,
its OK, everything will be fine.
While Zach distracts him, Chad kicks Jasper in the ass
which makes him fall forward, face down into the lake.
CHAD
Now swim, all of you!
The pledges begin to swim toward the fountain in the middle
of the lake while Jasper lags behind visibly struggling.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


While theyre swimming, Zach and Chad go back to join the
guys and girls to watch the festivities, laugh, high-five
each other and pound their cans of beer.
CHAD
(mockingly)
Ohh, ohh, ohh, I dont swim very good!
Blah, blah, blah. Im a little bitch!
ZACH
Fucking tool. What the fuck was up with
those Transformer boxers anyways, what
is he, eight?
TODD
Why didnt we just blackball that motherfucker?
ZACH
We need him.
For what?
mother.

TODD
Hes as cool as my dead grand-

ZACH
We need him for our GPA, we need him to
do our menial tasks around the house and,
quite frankly, we need him so we can feel
better about ourselves. Hes a great dude
to pick on. See, when put in circumstances
like this, you know like pledging a dork,
you always have to think big picture.
TODD
I guess thats why youre president.
ZACH
Dont you forget it bitch.
(laughs)
Pass me another beer you fucking idiot.
Todd gives Zach a beer which he pounds then crushes the
empty can with his hand and throws it on the ground.
Later on, the pledges are swimming back from the fountain
and towards the group.
They make it to shore and are immediately greeted by Chad.

36

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
Good job losers, now put your clothes
back on. You guys are some ugly motherfuckers.
RUSSELL
Do you have any towels for us to dry off?
Its freezing.
CHAD
(laughs)
Ha, good one. Use your shirt if you have
to. Now shut up, put your clothes on and
sit there uncomfortably.
Russell looks around and notices someones missing.
RUSSELL
Hey
CHAD
(interrupts)
Do you ever shut up Russell?
RUSSELL
Where is Jasper?
Chad looks around and doesnt see Jasper. Zach joins Chad
to look around as well but doesnt see him either.
CHAD
(shouts out)
Puke face! Puke face!

Jasper!

Puke face!

ZACH
(shouts out)
Jasper! Jasper!

CHAD
Where do you think he is?
I dont know.
lake?

ZACH
At the bottom of the

Chad quickly comes to the realization that Jasper might


have drowned and begins to freak out.

37

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

38

CHAD
God I hope not. Trent and Dominic,
front and center!
Trent and Dominic run up to Chad to get his orders.
CHAD (contd)
Jump into the lake and look for Jasper.
Dominic quickly rips his sneakers off and jumps into the
lake with Trent.
They start swimming around the lake looking for Jasper and
calling out his name while the concerned crowd comes to the
edge of the lake.
CHAD
(shouts out)
Come on guys! Fucking find him.
(whispers to Zach)
Were fucked.

Relax.

ZACH
(whispers)
Theyll find him.

CHAD
(whispers)
And if they dont?
ZACH
(whispers)
Then were fucked. Dont worry though,
well figure it out either way.
CHAD
I hope so.
After a while, Trent drags Jasper from the water and onto
the edge of the lake to the horror of the crowd.
Jasper lays there unresponsive.
ZACH
Holy shit, hes fucking blue.
know CPR?

Anyone

Russell makes his way through the crowd to offer his


services.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

39

RUSSELL
Yes, I do.
ZACH
Well get down there, fast.
Russell kneels down next to Jasper and begins administering
CPR.
Jasper remains unresponsive after a few tries.
CHAD
Come on, do better!
RUSSELL
Im trying, its not working.
CHAD
Youre not trying hard enough.
Russell goes back to the CPR and does it a few more times
as the crowd grows even more concerned and some of the
girls begin to cry.
After a few more tries, Russell finally gives up.
Its no use.

RUSSELL
Hes dead.

CHAD
No, no, that cant be right.
Chad starts kicking Jasper in his side and arms in a vain
effort to revive him.
CHAD
Wake up, wake the fuck up! Come on
asshole! Wake the fuck up! Dont
do this to us motherfucker! Dont
you dare do this to us you selfish
motherfucker.
Dominic grabs Chad from behind and pushes him away from
Jasper to get him to stop kicking him.
DOMINIC
Cool it Chad, cool it! Kicking the
shit out of him is not going to bring
him back.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
Im trying to get life back in him.
Dont you see? Were fucked! Were
all fucking fucked! Every one of us.
Everyone now begins to freak out after seeing Jaspers
lifeless body on the ground, knowing hes dead and
realizing the severity of the situation.
While this is going on, Zach calmly walks several steps
away from everyone and stands on the edge of the lake
looking out at the fountain in the distance.
After a few seconds, Todd walks over to Zach looking for
direction.
TODD
What should we do Prez?
heap of shit right now.

Were in a

ZACH
Yes, I know that Chad.
TODD
So what are your orders?
Zach initially ignores Todds question and just continues
to look out at the peacefulness of the fountain.
TODD (contd)
Zach, earth to Zach? What the fuck are
we going to do? We have a dead pledge
on our hands. This is heavy shit.
What the fuck should we do?
Zach finally snaps out of his trance-like state and,
instead of addressing Todd directly, he re-joins the group
and gets everyones attention.
ZACH
Listen uplisten up everybody!
CHAD
What are we going to do Zach?
ZACH
Let me think for a moment.

40

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

41

Zach paces back and forth for a little bit as everyone


becomes extremely anxious over whats going to happen.
CHAD
Well, what the fuck are we going to do
with him?
Zach stops pacing then looks around the crowd of his fellow
fraternity brothers.
ZACH
OK, if the university finds his body
like this, the least thatll happen is
well be kicked off of campus and maybe
expelled. The worst is that many, most
or all of us will go to jail.
CHAD
That sounds about right.
ZACH
So who has the shittiest car? Come on,
come on, who has the shittiest car?
After surveying the crowd, he zeros in on RICHARD, a nondescript fraternity brother whos trying his best to hide
behind a larger guy.
ZACH (contd)
Richard, your car sucks.
RICHARD
(confused)
Well I dont know if Id say that
exactly, but its not the nicest car,
Ill grant you that.
ZACH
OK, sorry bro, but well need to borrow
it.
RICHARD
Why?
ZACH
We need to throw Jasper in the front
seat and drive the car into a lake far
off of campus.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


RICHARD
Thats not really borrowing it.
ZACH
Semantics. OK, fine we need to take it.
Sorry bro, its your fault for having
the shittiest car.
DOMINIC
Yeah but when the cops find him and do
a toxicology report theyll find out
how drunk he was and thatll come back
on us.
TODD
No it wont.
DOMINIC
Really? We were his only friends here,
and we werent even his friends. Where
else would he get booze? The cops will
figure all this shit out very quickly.
CHAD
Yeah, hes right.
ZACH
(impatiently)
Do you have any better suggestions? I
mean Im trying to make lemonade out
of this huge lemon weve been handed in
life.
CHAD
(thinking)
Lets bury his body.
ZACH
What?
CHAD
Yeah, lets bury his fucking body. I
know this huge open field in a park
about ten, fifteen miles down the road.
Hell never be found and, if he is,
well be long graduated and gone by
then, plenty far away from this place.

42

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


RUSSELL
You cant be serious? Youre seriously
thinking about doing this?
CHAD
Shut up pledge, no one asked you dick.
RUSSELL
But this is lunacy, youre seriously
considering covering up a death?
TODD
It was an accident.
RUSSELL
Hes still dead either way.
CHAD
Its whats best for the fraternity.
RUSSELL
That makes us all accomplices to a
crime.
CHAD
Its only a crime if we get caught.
RUSSELL
Thats very compassionate.
CHAD
I told you, shut up pledgeunless you
want to join your roommate.
Russells right.

BECKY
This is nuts.

TODD
Stay out of this Becky, this doesnt
concern you.
BECKY
Doesnt concern me? Are you crazy?
If you havent noticed, Im standing
right here in front of a dead body
with the rest of you.
TODD
Just let the adults talk honey.

43

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


BECKY
Dont fucking honey me and dont treat
me like a child. This is serious.
ZACH
(thinking)
OK, lets do it.
CHAD
Thank you!
ZACH
(looks at Chad)
But I want you to go with a few of the
guys. Im not trusting our idiot
pledges with this responsibility.
Fine, Ill go.

CHAD
You think I care?!?

Zach addresses the guys and girls that are standing around
the edge of the lake.
ZACH
Whats done is done everyone. Theres
nothing we can do to change the past,
the present is what it is, but thankfully
we absolutely can affect the future.
But its up to each and everyone here
to hold up their end of the bargain.
And whats that bargain you ask? We
were not here tonight, no one we knew
swam to the fountain this weekend, we
remained at the party all night long
then returned peacefully to our rooms,
dorms, apartments or houses afterwards
and we definitely dont know what the
hell happened to Jasper and were just
as concerned as everyone else is about
his whereabouts and hope for his safe
return home. Agreed?
(everyone is silent)
Come on people, if we dont do this, if
we dont make this pact, we could all be
fucked. Were all in this together now.
Itll only take one to talk to ruin the
futures of all. Im talking about
expulsion, Im talking about probation,
(MORE)

44

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH (contd)
Im talking about jail time. No one
wants that, right?
(everyone is still silent)
OK, so Ill ask again, does everyone
agree to remain silent and act like
nothing happened tonight?
EVERYONE
Agreed.
ZACH
Good. Now go on, get out of here.
home before someone does see us.

Go

Zach walks up to Russell and looks directly in his eyes.


ZACH
That goes for you especially. Chad was
right, if you dont want to end up like
your roommate youll keep your mouth
shut. OK?
RUSSELL
(nervously)
OK.
ZACH
(smiles)
Good boy. Look on the bright side though,
if this kids body is found while youre
still in school youll get a 4.0 for the
semester. So its not all bad.
Chad picks up Jaspers dead body with the help of Todd and
Dominic as the rest of the crowd begins to disperse.
CHAD
Todd and Dom, give me a hand with this
pricks body. Richard were still going
to need your car so go get it and bring
it over here.
EXT. OPEN FIELD IN A PARK NIGHT
In a vacant field, Chad, Dominic and Richard are standing
around Todd as he dumps the final piles of dirt onto an
unmarked grave with a shovel.

45

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

46

The area is pitch dark except for the light emanating from
the headlights of Richards car parked nearby.
TODD
(breathless)
OK, that should do it.
Exhausted, Todd tosses the shovel to the side as he takes a
seat on the grass.
DOMINIC
Should we mark the grave with something?
CHAD
Yeah, maybe my urine.
With that, Chad burps then pisses right on top of the
makeshift grave as he continues drinking his 40 ounce beer.
DOMINIC
(sarcastically)
Thats civil.
CHAD
Oh blow me. This douchebag has been
more trouble than hes worth since the
first day he walked into our house.
Besides what are we going to do? Mark
the grave to let the cops know exactly
where a dead body is? Ill tell you what,
why dont we just go down to the police
station and give them a screenshot of
google maps so they know where they
can find his body? That should cut out
a lot of the investigative bullshit,
make their lives easier. Better yet,
why dont we just surrender?
DOMINIC
OK, OK, I get it. But we should at
least say a pray or something, right?
CHAD
Youre right.
Chad folds his hands and looks down in mock pray as
Dominic, Todd and Richard all follow his lead.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

47

CHAD
Dear puke facego fuck yourself geek.
Amen.
(looks at his friends)
There, are you all happy now?
DOMINIC
Well
CHAD
(interrupts)
Well nothing, hes out of our lives
forever now, lets just forget he ever
happened.
ONE YEAR LATER
EXT. ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS DAY
LARGE LAKE ON CAMPUS
Its a crisp, sunny autumn day on campus as TWO FEMALE
STUDENTS walk along the pathway that borders the lake where
Jasper drowned a year ago.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
Whatever happened to that kid that
disappeared last year?
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2
Which kid?
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
The kid from our dorm, you know, the
quiet, shy one. I think his name was
Casper or something like that?
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2
Oh, the Asian kid that transferred to
Darden?
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
No, that was Peter from down the hall,
Im thinking of that other kid who
lived on the floor below us. He just
disappeared one night and was never
seen again. I think he was a pledge
at that fraternity, Zeta Beta Alpha?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

48

FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2


Oh ZBA, I like them. They throw some
kick ass parties, I blew a guy at their
Wooly Mammoth party last year.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
Yeah, they are pretty awesome guys.
That party should be coming up again
soon. I know they do it every Fall
semester.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2
Oh yeah? Cool, Ill definitely go to
that again.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
So no idea what happened to that kid?
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2
Honestly, I dont even remember him.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #1
Oh, thats sad.
FEMALE STUDENT AT LAKE #2
(disinterested)
Yeah, I guess.
As the two girls continue walking, a large group of new ZBA
PLEDGES, each carrying a red brick, run by them on the
pathway.
Leading the way in front of the pack is Todd whos driving
a golf cart with Chad sitting on the back of it barking out
orders through a microphone.
Both guys are drinking beers and laughing it up with each
other.
CHAD
(through his microphone)
Come on losers, pick up the pace! Only
five more miles to go!
TODD
I love this golf cart!

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
Best investment our fraternitys made in
a long time.
TODD
Its very versatile and good for offroading.
CHAD
You know what I love?
Whats that?

TODD
Pussy?

CHAD
Well yeah, that too.
TODD
What else?
CHAD
Hell Week!
Todd gives Chad a high five.
TODD
Hell yeah!
CHAD
Its right up there with Christmas and
Thanksgiving for me. But at least Hell
Week is a full week. Ive liked the
last few days, but Im going to love
the next couple days of hazing. Five
whole days to treat these assholes like
shit.
TODD
You really do love this stuff, dont
you, you sick bastard?
CHAD
Of course, why else would I volunteer
to be pledge master for three years in
a row?
TODD
To mentor and guide the new freshmen in
fraternity life each year?

49

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

50

CHAD
(laughs)
Ha, ha, good one. You almost made me
spit up my beer.
TODD
Yeah I could barely say that out loud
without laughing.
The pledges are exhausted, huffing and puffing and out of
breath, they are sweating completely through their clothes.
A couple of them even puke as they run.
CHAD
(through his microphone)
Lets go assholes! By the way, the guy
that comes in last place gets blackballed,
dont even bother coming back to the
house ever.
TODD
Man Im going to miss hazing pledges
after this year. Im not looking forward
to the real world at all.
CHAD
Youre doing life all wrong my man.
TODD
How so?
CHAD
Stay in school, thats what I say. I
mean, look at me, I get three more
years of this shit, going to law school
and all.
TODD
Are you going to stay involved with the
fraternity?
CHAD
Of course, Zeta is my life.
TODD
Dont you think youre getting too old
for this, that you should grow up?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
Go fuck yourself. Hazing pledges,
drinking beer and fucking freshmen chicks
is what I do. Besides, Im applying to
become the fraternitys graduate advisor
next year.
TODD
(surprised)
Graduate advisor?
CHAD
Yep.
TODD
You?
CHAD
Yep.
TODD
(laughs)
Jesus Christ, god help the future of ZBA
and its brothers if youre going to be
in charge of shit.
CHAD
What the fuck does that mean?
TODD
You know what that means, youre a fuck
up, and I mean that in the most respectful, brotherly way.
CHAD
Dont worry, Ill get my shit together by
the time I go to law school.
TODD
Oh Im not worried, its the undergraduates
of Zeta that should be worried.
Chad playfully smacks Todd across the head.
CHAD
(laughs)
Shut the fuck up and pass me another
beer asshole.

51

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

52

Todd reaches into a cooler thats sitting on the seat next


to him and passes Chad a new beer.
Once Chad takes the beer he throws his nearly empty old one
at the pledges running behind him.
CHAD
Only swill left in that one.
A few of the pledges running in the front of the pack take
evasive action to miss getting hit by the can.
CHAD
Nice moves out there.
(turns to Todd)
I think we might have found a new wide
receiver for our intramural team Todd.
As Todd continues driving, he sees something odd in the
distance alongside the edge of the lake.
He tries to figure out what hes looking at as Chad
continues laughing and throwing empty beer cans at the
pledges.
CHAD
This is fun. Todd, do you want to get
in on this? I can drive for a while.
Todd ignores Chad as he remains captivated by the object in
the distance.
CHAD
Todd? Todd? Todd, are you there?
Whats going on?
Todd becomes petrified as he finally identifies the object,
its Jasper and hes sitting on the edge of the lake
looking out at the fountain.
Wearing his tattered puke face fraternity jersey, hes
pale white, soaking wet, bloated, slightly deformed and
decomposing. He looks somewhat transparent, ghost-like.
TODD
(shocked)
Holy shit!

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
What?
TODD
Look at this.
CHAD
(turns to look at Todd)
What?
TODD
(points to Jasper)
Do you see what I see?
CHAD
What? Some tool sitting on the edge of
the lake? Big fucking deal, this schools
full of them.
TODD
Look closer.
Chad squints his eyes to get a better look then becomes
similarly horrified when he also realizes its Jasper.
CHAD
What the fuck?
TODD
Right, you see the same thing Im seeing?
It cant be.

CHAD
It cant be.

TODD
Theres only one way to find out.
Todd abruptly slams on the brakes as he comes up to Jasper
which leads a few of the pledges to run directly into the
back of the golf cart.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS PRESIDENT
Hey, what the fuck dudes!?!
Todd and Chad slowly get out of the cart and approach
Jasper.
They circle him and look at him quizzically, not believing
what theyre seeing.

53

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

54

Jasper ignores the two and just continues looking out at


the fountain.
TODD
I cant believe what Im looking at.
CHAD
Is this real? I mean, is he real?
cant be, I buried him myself.

He

TODD
How far down did you bury him?
CHAD
Far enough. Whatever, he was dead even
before we got to the field. I swear.
Todd waves his hand in front of Jaspers face to try to get
him to flinch or to at least acknowledge them, but he
doesnt.
Jasper?

Jasper?

TODD
Jasper?

The pledges remain on the pathway looking perplexed at Chad


and Todd since they cant see Jasper.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
Excuse me sirs, but what are you doing?
CHAD
What do you mean?
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
Just that. What are you doing?
TODD
Were trying to figure out who the fuck
this kid is.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #2
What kid?
CHAD
What are you blind? The kid right in
front of us!
The pledges look at each other in confusion.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

55

NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #3


Mr. pledge master, we dont see anyone.
Chad walks over to the pledges vantage point and stands
right next to them then points at Jasper.
CHAD
The kid, right there!
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #3
I dont see anybody.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
Me neither.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #2
None of us do.
Frustrated, Chad grabs a hold of one of the pledges neck
from behind and forces him to stare at the place where
Jaspers sitting.
CHAD
Right there, hes sitting right there!
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
Sorry sir, I just dont see anyone other
than Mr. Todd.
CHAD
This is unbelievable.
After hearing that no one else other than himself and Chad
can see Jasper, Todd decides to put his hand on Jaspers
shoulder but it goes right through him. Jasper is a ghost.
TODD
What the fuck?
CHAD
(worried)
Todd whats going on here?
TODD
I have no fucking idea, but I dont want
to stay around and find out.
CHAD
Lets get out of here, back to the house.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

56

Todd and Chad rush back over to the golf cart and get in.
As they look back to where Jasper was sitting they see that
he is now standing up and slowly walking towards them with
a devilish smile across his face.
TODD
Holy shit.
CHAD
Todd, Todd, get us back to the house,
please, please get us back to the house!
(shouts out)
Back to the house everybody!
As soon as Todd starts driving down the pathway, Jaspers
slow walk turns into a fast sprint as he tries to catch up
to the cart.
CHAD
Go faster, you have to go faster Todd!
TODD
Im trying, dont forget were in a
fucking golf cart! We can only go so
fast.
Chad and Todd leave the pledges far behind as they speed
down the pathway. Jasper runs around and through the
pledges in an attempt to catch up to the cart.
After a while, the pledges stop running as the golf cart
drives off into the distance then they stand around looking
at each other in utter confusion as they try to comprehend
what just happened.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
What the hell was that about?
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #2
No idea.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #1
Have they gone nuts?
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #2
Maybe it was a bad trip?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #3
Nah, theyre fucking with us. Theyre
playing mental games, trying to throw us
off, get us off balance. Fucking with our
minds. Its all psychological bullshit.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS MEMBER #2
Hmmm, theyre pretty good at it. I was
actually convinced they saw something.
SIDEWALK BETWEEN BUILDINGS
Todd turns off of the pathway around the lake and speeds
down a sidewalk between two school buildings, dispersing
walking students, as Jasper remains in pursuit.
CHAD
Hes getting closer Todd!
TODD
Fuck this bullshit.
Todd jerks the golf cart off the sidewalk and onto a lawn
in front of one of the buildings.
He speeds across the lawn and onto another sidewalk where
more students jump and dive out of the way.
Suddenly, Jasper disappears.
CHAD
What the hell?
TODD
What now?
CHAD
Hes gone.
TODD
Hes gone?
CHAD
Just like that, he disappeared.
Todd slams on the breaks to stop the golf cart.

57

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

58

TODD
(looks behind him)
Hes gone?
CHAD
Yeah.
All of a sudden, with both Todd and Chad looking behind
them, Jasper reappears in front of the cart.
Todd turns back around and screams once he sees Jasper
standing in front of him practically peering into his soul.
TODD
Holy shit!
He puts the cart in reverse and slams into a statue which
topples over. Then he puts the cart back into drive and
speeds away from Jasper.
TODD
I dont like this Chad, I dont like
this one bit.
CHAD
Lets just get back to the house.
INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE
ZACHS BEDROOM
Zach is walking around his room getting dressed for the day
as he listens to Todd and Chad tell their story of what
just happened. He doesnt seem concerned at all.
ZACH
Are you boys sure youre alright?
CHAD
Yes.
ZACH
Bad acid trip? Maybe some potent weed
making you see shit?
TODD
No. Besides the twelve pack we shared
this morning, were dead sober.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
Ahhh college life, Im going to miss that
next year, the ability to drink copious
amounts of beer on a weekday morning with
no repercussions at all. Ahhh, who am I
kidding, Ill be working on Wall Street.
Ill just replace the Busch Lights with
Bloody Marys and cocaine on mornings.
CHAD
So you dont believe us?
ZACH
Run through the story one more time for
me? Sorry, I was too focused on picking
our the perfect tie to match my awesome
socks.
CHAD
OK, well basically the only thing you
need to know is that we spent the last
half hour being chased by Jasper.
ZACH
Ahhh yes, puke face. And where did you
say you saw him?
CHAD
By the lake on campus, he was just staring
out at the fountain. We saw him when we
were doing the pledge death march for
hell week.
ZACH
But Jaspers dead though.
I know.
forgot.

CHAD
I was there last year in case you

ZACH
So youre saying it was a ghost?
CHAD
I guess so.
TODD
I tried to put my hand on his shoulder
but it just went through his body.

59

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
Makes sense if he was a ghost. So tell
me, did anyone else see him? I mean, any
of the pledges? Anyone else on campus?
Anybody walking by?
TODD
No.
ZACH
Hmmm, why do you think that is?
CHAD
No idea Zach. I dont have experience
with ghosts. It was fucking weird though.
ZACH
What do you want me to do? I mean I
know Im fraternity president but I
dont think I have the power to take
on supernatural forces.
CHAD
Are you fucking with us?
TODD
Why dont you believe me and Chad?
ZACH
I dont know, lets see. Number one,
because youre raging alcoholics, number
two, you can be idiots sometimes and
number three, youre drug addicts prone
to hallucinations.
CHAD
Thats a little unfair.
ZACH
Is it, is it really? What about that
time last summer when you had those bad
shrooms and you swore you had a twenty
minute conversation with Jesus, when in
fact it was the Mexican answering the
phone at Dominos.
CHAD
Well yeah, I was fucked up that night.
(MORE)

60

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD (contd)
Decent pizza though and he did have the
voice of an angel.
ZACH
Or Todd, how about the time you took
that bad molly at the club last year
and you made out with that RuPaul
looking dude because you thought he
was Gabrielle Union?
TODD
Sorry but in my defense he did look
like Gabrielle Union.
ZACH
My point is, that you fools have a
history of seeing things that dont
exist because youre both fucked up
degenerates. Now you want me to
believe that the ghost of a pledge
that died a year ago was chasing you
across campus?
CHAD
Yes.
ZACH
Get out of here. Why dont you two
get some rest, you especially Chad.
Youve been pulling a lot of late
nights lately prepping for hell week.
You deserve a little bit of a break.
CHAD
No can do. I need to go check out the
library to make sure the pledges are
there studying and not surfing porn.
ZACH
OK, well Ill catch up with you guys
later after I get out of my Young
Republicans of America meeting. Try
not to get spooked out by any ghosts
in the meantime.
TODD
This isnt a joke Zach.

61

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

Its not?

ZACH
Then why am I laughing?

CHAD
Because youre a dick?
ZACH
Hardly.
Zach grabs a sports jacket and walks out of his room.
ZACH (contd)
Ill see you boys later.
INT. ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, LIBRARY
The Zeta pledge class is studying at four long tables on
the second floor of a library when Chad enters the area to
check up on them.
CHAD
Whats going on cunt stains?!?
NEW PLEDGE CLASS PRESIDENT
Just studying.
CHAD
Studying, is that right?
Chad walks over to a table to spot check some of the
pledges computers.
CHAD
Thats what youre doing? Studying.
No pornhub? No Youjizz? Cliphunter?
xHamster? Studying.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS PRESIDENT
Yes sir.
Chad looks at someones laptop, hes on a Wikipedia page
researching World War I.
CHAD
What the hell is this?
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
Wikipediareading up on World War I.

62

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
OK, I see.
Chad quickly turns his head over to the pledge sitting
behind him so he can get a quick look at his tablet.
CHAD
Well how about you?
This pledge is reading Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights
Dream on oysterbooks.com.
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #2
Im reading Shakespeares A Midsummer
Nights Dream for my English class.
CHAD
ShakespeareWorld War I?
fucking nerds.

You guys are

PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
Excuse me sir? I thought we were supposed
to be studying?
CHAD
You are. But I expected you guys to
be studying porn. You know, stuff that
actually matters in the real world.
Theres a lot of different things you
should brush up on, like fisting, fetishes,
DP, BBW, teen, cumshots, compilations,
bukkake, MILF, hardcore, interracial,
amateur, anal, bondage, creampie, mature,
threesome, and, of course, everyones
favorite, lesbian. I mean, isnt that
why college libraries still exist? So
that horny kids can watch Lisa Ann get
double-stuffed over free wi-fi?
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #3
Whos Lisa Ann?
CHAD
(slaps his forehead)
Holy shit you kids have a lot to learn
about life.

63

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

64

Chad glances at a table behind where the pledges are


sitting, then immediately does a double take when he
notices something that wasnt there before.
From out of nowhere, Jasper is sitting by himself at the
table staring straight at Chad with a book in front of him.
Chad stops his conversation, stares Jasper down for a few
moments then slowly walks over to the table.
He stands at the table looking at Jasper who continues
looking straight ahead. After a few seconds, Jasper
casually looks down at his book, Stephen Kings Carrie,
and goes back to reading.
Since Jasper is ignoring him, Chad decides to sit down next
to him.
CHAD
Jaspers dead, so who are you?
Jasper continues reading, even flipping the page, while not
acknowledging Chad.
Since hes constantly wet, Jasper leaves water marks from
his hands on the pages and the table.
CHAD
(agitated)
What are you doing here?
Jasper still does not acknowledge Chad as he flips another
page and continues reading.
The pledges watch in confusion while they see Chad sitting
at the table talking to nobody in particular.
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with
Chad?
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #3
I dont know, but if his actions today
were induced from his stash of shrooms,
then I say, pass some of that shit over
to me.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

65

PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
(high fives him)
Ha, ha, you got that right.
Jasper flips another page as he continues to read.
CHAD
(increasingly agitated)
What do you want from me?
Finally, Jasper looks up from his book, turns to Chad who
is sitting just a mere foot away and stares him down.
Chad gets an up close look at Jaspers ugly, wet, deathriddled, decomposing face.
CHAD
(mystified)
Ewww, what are you?
Jasper opens his mouth and drools out seawater which pours
out on the table.
Chad dips his finger into the concoction and looks at it.
Although it exists on his finger in his mind, the pledges
continue to see none of this. Its just Chad sitting and
talking to himself.
CHAD
Im sorry that you died Jasper, but
it wasnt my fault. I just want you
to know that.
While continuing to stare at Chad, Jasper slowly shakes his
head no.
CHAD
OK, but whats done is done, I cant
do anything about that.
Jasper shakes his head no again.
CHAD
What can I do for you?
this all better?

How can I make

Jasper just goes back to reading his book.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

66

CHAD
Name it, what can I do?
Chad continues to be ignored by Jasper as he takes out his
iPhone to take a picture of him.
His hands are trembling so much that its difficult for him
to properly take the picture but he finally manages.
However, Jasper doesnt show up on the picture, its just a
shot of the table. He takes another photo but again he
doesnt show up.
This freaks Chad out even more so he finally stands up and
hurries away from the table.
CHAD
Continue studying pledges, Ill see
you back at the house at five oclock
sharp for kitchen prep before dinner.
He immediately beelines it out of the library while Jasper
continues reading at the table.
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
Chads an odd dude.
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #2
On the bright side, whatever spooked
him probably means he wont be coming
back to the library today.
A pledge takes a joint out from an inside jacket pocket.
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #3
Well then shall we go up to the stacks
and hit this joint I just rolled?
PLEDGE IN LIBRARY #1
Absolutely.
INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE
CHAPTER ROOM
Chad and Todd are hanging out in the spacious, but quiet,
chapter room in mid-conversation.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

67

CHAD
The motherfucker was in the library
this afternoon. Hes following us,
hes following me!
TODD
Thats fucked up.
I know.
do?

CHAD
What the hell are we going to

TODD
We need proof to show people. Even Zach
doesnt believe us, but he sure as hell
would if we had a video of him.
CHAD
I tried to take a picture.
TODD
And?
CHAD
He didnt show up on it.
TODD
Were you close up?
CHAD
I was sitting right next to him, do you
think thats close enough?
Dominic enters the room and immediately takes a seat on one
of the couches as he drinks a 40 ounce of beer.
DOMINIC
Whats up fuckos?
CHAD
Oh not much, outside of the fact that
Jasper has come back from the dead
and I think hes planning to terrorize
the fraternity or at least the guys in
it.
DOMINIC
Wait, what?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TODD
Yeah, Chad and I had a run-in with
Jaspers ghost this morning by the
lake on campus.
CHAD
And I saw him again at the library this
afternoon.
DOMINIC
Youre pulling my leg, this is a joke,
right? Theres a hidden camera somewhere around here? Am I being punked?
Is Ashton Kutcher going to jump out
from the bathroom?
CHAD
Im afraid not.
DOMINIC
Thats pretty far-fetched you know, I
mean you guys realize that, right?
CHAD
Im not idiot, I know it sounds crazy,
but I know what I saw, and I know what
me and Todd saw.
DOMINIC
Well lets say this is true, why did he
come back as a ghost all of a sudden?
Why now?
CHAD
I guess in his mind theres no time like
hell week to get revenge, that is if he
truly does blame us for his death. It
has been a year since he died, almost
exactly a year. Last hell week.
DOMINIC
Thats fucked up.
Ill tell you
nor his ghost

Mammoth party

CHAD
one thing, neither puke face
is going to stop me from
with hell week or our Wooly
tomorrow night. Its Zeta

CHAD (contd)
Beta Alpha tradition and a kid who wasnt
even a brother isnt going to stop me,
hes not going to stop us.
DOMINIC
So you really think theres a ghost out
there haunting you?
CHAD
I saw it with my own two eyes.
TODD
So did I.
DOMINIC
Does Zach know?
CHAD
Yeah, we told him.
DOMINIC
And what does he think?
TODD
He thinks were nuts.
DOMINIC
Well you guys have been known to
hallucinate before.
CHAD
Jesus Christ, are we ever going to live
that shit down?
DOMINIC
You got to admit, theyre pretty epic
stories.
CHAD
Yeah, but
DOMINIC
(interrupts)
OK, lets say his ghost does exist,
what the hell are we going
Suddenly a red brick comes CRASHING through a window in the
chapter room, shattering it into tiny pieces.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

70

The brick lands on the couch, dangerously close to Dominic


who has jumped out of the way.
DOMINIC
Holy fuck!
For a brief second, Jasper can be spotted at the window but
no one notices him.
CHAD
See, I told you! Look, its a red brick,
the ultimate pledge accessory.
DOMINIC
That doesnt mean dick.
CHAD
It doesnt not mean dick either though.
LATER ON
The chapter room is filled with fraternity brothers that
have gathered for dinner.
A few pledges are covering up the broken window with a
trash bag as the wind eerily howls through the gaps.
Zach looks over the red brick sitting in his hand as Chad,
Todd and Dominic huddle around him.
ZACH
So you really think Jasper did this?
CHAD
Yes.
ZACH
Dominic, what do you think?
DOMINIC
I have no idea what to think.
CHAD
It was fucking Jasper, Im telling you.
TODD
I think so too Zach.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
Jesus guys, did you stop to think that
it mightve been the work of a disgruntled
pledge from this semester? It was a
red brick that was thrown through the
window. Did we blackball anyone this
semester?
CHAD
Yeah, two guys.
ZACH
OK, start there. Send some guys over to
their dorm rooms and find out where they
were this afternoon. Well hand out our
own justice if we have to.
CHAD
I still dont think it was someone from
this semester. Im telling you it was
Jasper.
ZACH
Chad, I dont want to hear anymore of
this foolish talk. I gave you an order
so do it.
CHAD
(reluctantly)
Yes sir.
KITCHEN
The new pledge class is cleaning up the kitchen in
preparation for dinner.
Some are mopping the floor, while others are washing the
pots and pans or scrubbing the overhead of the stove, just
like the class before them did.
After a while, Dominic enters to check on their process.
He walks over to the sink and inspects a pot that one of
the pledges is cleaning.
DOMINIC
Scrub harder, I still see some food
particles on that pot. Lets go
dipshits, our chef is waiting in the

do that if you fucksticks are still in
here cleaning.
One of the pledges mopping the floor speaks up in
frustration.
NEW PLEDGE MOPPING
Were working as fast as we can.
So Dominic gets right up into his face.
DOMINIC
What did you say asshole?
NEW PLEDGE MOPPING
(nervously)
I said, ummm, ahhh, were working as
quickly as we can.
You know what?
me twenty!

DOMINIC
You can drop and give

NEW PLEDGE MOPPING


What?
DOMINIC
You heard me.
Dominic pushes the pledge down to the ground, his head sits
right over the mop bucket.
DOMINIC
Im going to teach you respect. Lets
go fuckface, give me twenty pushups!
He puts his foot on the pledges back to force him down to
do pushups.
Every time he goes down, the pledges face ends up in the
mop bucket filled with disgusting, dirty water.
DOMINIC
Thats right, drink up that water, that
dirty, disgusting water. Do you know
what ends up on this floor? Piss, puke,

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


DOMINIC (contd)
rat shit and come. Youre drinking all
of it.
Suddenly, the two doors that lead to the kitchen SLAM shut
and lock.
Dominic looks up from hazing the pledge after he hears the
doors close.
DOMINIC
What the hell was that?
All of the pledges shrug their shoulders as Dominic runs
over to try to open one of the doors.
Although the door was locked from the inside, hes unable
to unlock it.
This leads him to frantically BANG on the door as he tries
to get out.
DOMINIC
Hey, let me out of here guys!
a joke? Get me out of here!

Is this

Several guys on the other side of the door in the chapter


room try to open it but to no avail.
ZACH (O.S.)
The locks on your side of the door
dickhead!
DOMINIC
I know, but I cant unlock it.
ZACH (O.S.)
What are you, a dumbass?
DOMINIC
Shut the fuck up Zach and just get me
out of here!
CHAPTER ROOM
Zach, Chad and Todd are all trying to push the door open.
CHAD
Its Jasper again.

73

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
Stop with that nonsense Chad.
No, it is.

CHAD
Trust me.

Zach bangs on the door harder in a vain effort to open it.


KITCHEN
The pots and pans hanging on the wall begin to violently
shake which terrifies Dominic.
DOMINIC
(looks around the room)
Whats going on in here?!? Jasper, is
that you?
A few pots levitate from the sink and fly over to the wall
to join the other pots in shaking against each other.
The other pledges see none of this and just stand there in
befuddled amusement.
NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN
Whats wrong Dominic?
DOMINIC
(paranoid)
You dont see this?
NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN
See what?
DOMINIC
Those pots just flew against the fucking
wall from the sink.
NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN
Are you OK?
DOMINIC
Im far from fucking OK.
that shit?

You dont see

NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN


No, not at all.

74

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

75

A drawer underneath a counter suddenly opens and a steak


knife levitates out of it. It remains suspended in air for
a moment before it turns directly to Dominic.
The knife speeds across the room, narrowly missing Dominic
and wedging into the wall behind him. This frightens the
hell out of Dominic.
Another knife levitates out of the drawer, stays suspended
in the air for a moment then speeds across the room again
narrowly missing him and wedging into the wall on the other
side of Dominic.
DOMINIC
This is unfuckingbelievable.
Suddenly, eight knives levitate out of the drawer,
immediately shoot across the room and barely miss Dominic.
Four get wedged in the wall on one side of him while the
other four get wedged on the other side.
Finally, a cleaver levitates out of the drawer and spins
around repeatedly over the top of it before similarly
firing across the room.
The cleaver goes right over Dominics head, grazing his
hair, as it also wedges itself into the wall.
Dominic turns around and is astonished to see that the
knives made a perfect outline of his body on the wall.
DOMINIC
God damn.
He looks over to the stove and sees that Jasper is standing
on a chair patiently scrubbing the grease that has formed
overhead.
DOMINIC
You, you, you fucking asshole!
this bullshit!

Stop

Dominic grabs a pot from the wall and goes over to the
stove where he tries to hit Jasper several times with it.
His wild swings just end up going right through him as the
pledges continue looking on as if hes nuts since they
cant see Jasper.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


DOMINIC
Fuck you motherfucker!
Just like that Jasper vanishes.
NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN
Calm down Dominic, calm down!
DOMINIC
(breathing heavily)
You didnt see him?
NEW PLEDGE IN KITCHEN
See who?
Suddenly the two doors magically unlock and Zach, Todd and
Chad bust through one of them.
TODD
You OK Dominic?
DOMINIC
Yeah, yeah, Im fine.
Chad looks around the kitchen and sees nothing out of the
ordinary.
CHAD
OK, pledges leave us, get the fuck out
of here. We need to have an executive
committee meeting.
Zach closes the door once the pledges leave the room.
ZACH
What the hell happened in here? And
why is our good cutlery stuck in the
wall?
DOMINIC
Jasper tried to kill me.
CHAD
If he wanted to kill you, youd probably
be dead. I think hes just fucking with
us.
Jasper?

ZACH
Not you too now.

76

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


DOMINIC
I saw him with my own two eyes!
ZACH
OK, so where is he? I dont see him
anywhere. The doors were closed, where
could he have gone?
CHAD
Jesus Christ, dont you know anything
about ghosts? Read a book for me once
in your life.
ZACH
Oh, and youre an expert in the paranormal?
CHAD
I am now.
ZACH
I think youve watched one too many horror
movies.
CHAD
Maybe so, but I do know that ghosts dont
need to open a fucking door to leave a
fucking room.
ZACH
So Dominic, did Jasper throw these knives
at you?
DOMINIC
No, not exactly.
ZACH
So who did?
DOMINIC
I dont know, they just levitated out
from the drawer and came at me.
Fascinating.

ZACH
And what did the pledges do?
DOMINIC

Nothing.

77

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
What do you mean nothing?
DOMINIC
I dont think they could see anything
going on, not the knives, not the
fucking pots shaking on the wall, not
Jasper, not anything.
Zach takes one of the knives out of the wall.
ZACH
So youre saying that these knives here
are a figment of our imagination? That
theyre not actually here in this wall?
DOMINIC
Maybe, I dont know. Im having a hard
enough time wrapping my head around this
myself.
Zach puts his finger on the tip of the knife.
ZACH
They sure feel real.
CHAD
It makes sense, me and Todd were the only
ones that saw Jasper at the lake this
morning. The pledges didnt see shit.
ZACH
And where was Jasper during all this?
In here?
DOMINIC
By the stove, doing chores, scrubbing
the grease off.
ZACH
Odd that even in death hes still OK
with going through hazing.
CHAD
Do you believe us now?
ZACH
Im coming around.

78

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TODD
So what should we do?
ZACH
What can we do? I dont really have any
experience battling ghosts.
CHAD
We have to do something.
ZACH
Were going to do nothing. I dont want
to set off a public panic in the fraternity.
We have the Wooly Mammoth party coming
up on Friday night, I dont want anything
to interfere with that. Besides, if this
thing is real, and Jasper is actually
back as a ghost, what do you think he can
really do to us? Hes a fucking ghost
and we are real life human beings living
in the real world. He cant do anything
to us, hes only here to scare us.
CHAD
Even still, I think Im going to walk
around with my gun for now just to be
on the safe side.
ZACH
OK, but Im not sure what good you think
a gun will do against a ghost.
CHAD
Its my peace of mind.
ZACH
Do what you think is best, just dont
shoot anyone.
TODD
Unless its a pledge.
ZACH
Yeah, theyre dispensable.
(pauses)
Now get the chef in here to cook up
some grub. Im hungry and want some
tacos.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


Zach exits the kitchen as Chad, Todd and Dominic stay
behind.
TODD
OK, so what should we really do?
CHAD
I dont know.
TODD
What about an exorcism or something
like that? Whatever the fuck they call
it.
VENT LEADING TO THE KITCHEN
Jasper crawls through the vent and comes upon the grate
that overlooks the kitchen. He watches the three
fraternity brothers in conversation.
KITCHEN
CHAD
That could work.
TODD
Do you know anyone that could perform
one?
CHAD
No, but Dominics family is Italian.
DOMINIC
Yeah so?
CHAD
Well you must have some old Italian
grandmother that goes to church four
times a week, has the seven fishes on
Christmas Eve and is in tight with the
Lord.
DOMINIC
Yeah, I do.
CHAD
So she could probably recommend a good
priest to do a sance.

80

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

81

DOMINIC
Im not going to ask my dear old grandmother to loan us a priest so we can
talk to the dead. What are you, fucking
retarded? My family already thinks Im
a fuck up and drug addict, I dont have
to add any more fuel to that fire.
TODD
This is important though Dom.
DOMINIC
I know it is.
CHAD
OK, what about his old roommate, Russell?
TODD
What about him?
CHAD
He was his only real friend in the
fraternity, right?
TODD
Probably.
CHAD
So maybe he can talk to him? Knock
some sense into him. Tell him that
were not responsible for what happened.
TODD
It wont hurt to try.
CHAD
OK, lets grab Russell then and bring
him up to speed.
VENT LEADING TO THE KITCHEN
Jasper starts blowing air through the grate in the vent and
down towards the three guys standing in the kitchen.
KITCHEN
CHAD
Do you feel that?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TODD
(looks around)
Yeah, its coming from the vent.
CHAD
Really? What asshole put the air
conditioning on in November?
Chad opens the door and shouts out to the brothers hanging
out in the chapter room.
CHAD
Hey, which one of you assholes turned the
AC on?
TRENT (O.S.)
No one dickhead!
CHAD
Youre lucky youre not a pledge anymore
Trent or Id beat your ass!
TODD
Maybe its Jasper?
CHAD
OK, thats exactly how paranoia sets in.
Once we start thinking that Jasper is
behind every little thing that happens,
thats when were fucked.
TODD
OK, so check it out.
CHAD
I fucking will.
Chad grabs a step ladder, sets it up underneath the vent
and climbs up it.
He carefully unhooks the grate from the vent and takes it
off. After not seeing anything when he sticks his head
into it, he turns back around to Todd and Dominic.
CHAD
See, nothing here guys.

82

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

83

Just as he turns back to the vent, Jaspers head suddenly


pops out and HISSES within inches of Chads face, scaring
the life out of all three guys.
CHAD
Holy shit!
Chad slips off the step ladder and falls, banging his head
on the floor in the process. He just lays on the ground,
motionless with his eyes wide open.

Fuuuck.

CHAD
(trance-like)
Fuuuck. Fuuuck.

EXT. OPEN FIELD IN A PARK NIGHT


Chad is standing three feet deep into a hole digging up the
earth in an attempt to find Jaspers grave while Todd and
Dominic stand around watching him.
TODD
Its been a year Chad, how do you even
know were digging in the right place?
CHAD
(looks around)
This feels about right. It looks about
right.
TODD
How do you know? It was pitch dark when
we were out here last.
DOMINIC
Not to mention we were fucked up out of
our minds.
CHAD
I have a hunch.
DOMINIC
OK, so what are you going to do if you
find something?
CHAD
Im going to make sure his dead body is
still in the garbage bag.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

84

DOMINIC
And if it is?
CHAD
Then Im going to choke the life out of
him again.
DOMINIC
A lot of good thatll do.
CHAD
(frustrated)
Look, I dont know what the fuck Im
going to do. Im just curious to see
if his body is still here.
Chad digs one more time with the shovel and ends up hitting
something in the ground.
CHAD
I got something.
Chad throws the shovel up on the ground then bends over and
starts digging with his hands until he uncovers a garbage
bag in the ground.
CHAD
Here it is, its the garbage bag.
Todd and Dominic walk to the edge of the hole and look down
at the bag.
TODD
So are you going to open it?
CHAD
I dont know.
DOMINIC
Well we came all the way out here, you
might as well open it.
CHAD
Do you want to do it?
DOMINIC
Hell no, Im not going to fuck with a
dead body. Thats bad karma.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

85

CHAD
Fine, if you guys are going to be pussies
Ill do it.
Its all you.
begin with.

TODD
This wasnt our idea to

Chad carefully unties the garbage bag and looks into it.
DOMINIC
Well?
Chad sees Jaspers badly mangled and decomposed body in the
bag while Todd and Dominic cover their noses due to the
smell.
CHAD
Hes in here alright.
TODD
Yeah, I can tell from the smell.
Suddenly, the headlights on Todds car, which is sitting 20
yards away and providing them light, begin to flicker.
DOMINIC
What the hell is that?
CHAD
Why are your headlights flickering Todd?
Thats odd.

TODD
I dont know.

Next, the ignition starts and the engine mysteriously revs


a few times as the high beams turn on.
DOMINIC
Todd, please tell me youve got one of
those fancy cars that can start remotely.
TODD
I dont.
Finally, Todds car peels out and speeds directly towards
the hole that Chad dug.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

86

Todd and Dominic, who are in the direct path of the runaway
automobile, jump into the hole with Chad to escape.
All three of them take cover by bending over in the hole
and putting their arms over their heads.
The car SCREECHES to a halt and stops close to the hole.
After a moment, it inches up ever so slightly, knocking
some dirt from the existing pile back into the hole and
onto the three guys, until it stops at the holes edge.
CHAD
What the fuck do you want from us!?!
After a few tense moments of quiet, the drivers side door
opens up and out steps Jasper.
He walks to the edge of the hole and looks down at the
three fraternity brothers.
TODD
Get away from us!
Jasper looks down at the garbage bag laying in the hole and
notices that his own dead body is in it then he menacingly
stares all three of them down.
DOMINIC
Tie the bag back up Chad.
CHAD
Im trying.
After fumbling around for a little bit, Chad finally
manages to tie the garbage bag back up so Jasper cant see
his own body anymore.
Jasper looks at the headlights of Todds car which makes
them go off.
Pitch darkness engulfs the park as a few lightning bolts
suddenly hit dangerously close to the hole.
TODD
Fuck, whats he doing?!?
at?

Wheres he

Dominic takes his iPhone out of his pocket, turns his


flashlight app on and shines it all around.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

87

DOMINIC
I think he disappeared.
The three of them stand up, wipe the dirt off of them and
climb out of the hole.
Dominic continues to shine the flashlight app in all
directions once hes on land as Todd jumps into his car and
turns his headlights on. Jasper is nowhere to be seen.
Todd slowly backs his car up from the hole and jumps out of
the car again.
Chad grabs the shovel and starts re-filling the hole as
quickly as he can.
TODD
Chad rebury the body and lets just get
the fuck out of here.
CHAD
What the fuck you think Im trying to
do? Im going as fast as I can.
EXT. I-64 HIGHWAY NIGHT
Todd is driving down a quiet highway after reburying
Jaspers body in the open field.
He notices that a crudely written word has been spraypainted on a sign along the shoulder.
TODD
Guys, take a look at that.
say? Burn?

Whats that

CHAD
Yeah, so what? Theres graffiti all
over this highway all the time.
At the next exit they drive by a sign that has another word
spray-painted across it.
TODD
And what about that sign?
say?
DOMINIC
In.

Whats that

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


Dominic reads off the spray-painted text on the next sign.
DOMINIC
Hell.
Then, as they continue driving, he reads off the crude
writing on the fourth and final sign.
DOMINIC
Zetas.
TODD
Burn in hell Zetas. Great, wonderful,
absolutely great. Were so fucked.
CHAD
Were fine. I mean look, this is the
only thing Jasper can do to scare us,
defacing public property with threatening
slogans. Hes a bitch.
DOMINIC
I guess you forgot about the time he
tried to bury us alive which is weird
since it only happened an hour ago.
CHAD
Youre overreacting. Jaspers a pussy
in death just like he was in life.
DOMINIC
Youre the one that wanted to dig up
his body though, dont forget that.
TODD
Yeah Chad, youve been totally flipflopping all day. One second you think
hes a threat, the next you think hes
all bark and no bite. Whats the deal?
CHAD
Im just trying my best to keep everything in proper perspective as I evaluate
things.
TODD
Well your perspective seems to be
changing every other minute.

88

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

89

CHAD
Ill admit, its a little fluid.
TODD
Dom, you see anything else on the signs?
DOMINIC
No, I think its over.
TODD
Good, now we can go back toholy fuck!
Todd suddenly sees a brooding Jasper, with his shoulders
slumped forward and staring directly into the car, standing
in the middle of the highway.
He swerves to avoid him, driving across different lanes and
narrowly avoiding other cars and a tractor-trailer truck
who loudly honks his horn and swings quickly into another
lane to bypass Todd.
Todd drives off the highway and through trees into a nearby
forest coming to rest about fifty feet off the road.
CHAD
Fucking A!
TODD
Everybody OK?
CHAD
Yeah, Im fine.
The three of them get out of the car to survey any damage.
TODD
At least the cars fine. Jesus, we
need to constantly keep our heads on
a swivel. Theres no telling when
Jaspers going to pop up.
DOMINIC
Why didnt you just drive through him?
He is a ghost after all.
TODD
I dont know Dom, I panicked! Sorry, its
not every day that I see a fucking ghost
on the fucking highway!

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

90

CHAD
Chill out guys, chill out. The important
thing is were good, were fine, were
safe.
TODD
You got that right.
They suddenly become frightened when they hear ruffling in
the nearby trees and brush thinking its Jasper.
TODD
Lets just get the hell out of here.
DOMINIC
Fuck that, Im walking.
Youre walking?

TODD
Along the highway?

DOMINIC
I think Ill feel safer that way.
The ruffling in the forest continues.
TODD
Well Im getting the fuck out of here.
Todd and Chad jump back into the car. Once theyre in,
Todd rolls down his window as hes about to back out of the
forest.
TODD
Are you sure you dont want a ride?
DOMINIC
No, Im good.
TODD
OK, suit yourself.
Todd backs out and drives away as Dominic begins to walk
down the shoulder of the highway.
A baby deer, the animal responsible for the noise, emerges
from the trees and harmlessly eats leaves from a nearby
plant.

INT. ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS DAY


OLYMPIC-SIZED POOL CENTER
In a rare moment of serenity, Chad is leisurely swimming
laps across the pool.
He does a couple of laps before he stops and wades in the
pool to just look around and soak up the peacefulness of
the scene around him fellow college students playing
around in the pool and running around the perimeter.
Suddenly, he feels a jerk then another one that temporarily
yanks him under the water for a split second.
He comes up for air but is immediately jerked down into the
water again.
Struggling to get to the surface he sees that Jasper has
his arms securely wrapped around his leg.
Jasper drags him closer and closer to the bottom as he just
stares at him with a devilish smile that covers his face.
Chad finally kicks loose and swims to the surface then
screams out for help.
Help!

Help!

CHAD
Help!

A LIFEGUARD quickly jumps off of his platform and dives


into the pool to rescue Chad.
As soon as he gets to Chad, he puts his arms around him to
provide safety.
LIFEGUARD
Buddy, are you OK? Whats wrong?
You OK?
When he finally gets his senses back, Chad looks around
then down into the water and realizes that Jasper has
disappeared.
Yeah, Im fine.

CHAD
I guess.
LIFEGUARD

What happened?

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


CHAD
IIdont know. I just got flustered I
guess, I thought I saw a shark.
LIFEGUARD
In a swimming pool?
CHAD
Yeah, I was confused.
LIFEGUARD
Have you been drinking?
No.

CHAD
Not today, not yet.
LIFEGUARD

Can you swim?


CHAD
(insulted)
Bitch, I was all-county three times in
high school.
LIFEGUARD
OK, well, be careful for now on, OK?
This isnt a game in here, its real
life.
The lifeguard begins swimming away.
CHAD
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Chad looks back down in the water to see if Jasper is
there, but hes still gone.
Zach enters the center and walks toward the edge of the
pool.
ZACH
There you are Chad.
CHAD
Zach, what are you doing here?
ZACH
I was going to ask you the same thing,
(MORE)

92

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH (contd)
Ive been looking all over campus for
you.
CHAD
Well yeah, I just wanted to get away
for a little bit and have some time
to myself.
ZACH
I understand, this is the most stressful
time of the year for you, takes a lot
to haze the shit out of a bunch of
freshmen.
CHAD
You dont even know, I just make this
shit look so easy.
ZACH
Oh, I know.
CHAD
So what do you need?
ZACH
You got to get back to the house and
watch over the pledges while they prep
for the party tonight.
CHAD
Jesus, what time is it?

3?

3:30?

ZACH
5 oclock.
CHAD
Christ, sorry I totally lost track of
time.
ZACH
Thats alright.
Zach notices that somethings bugging Chad.
ZACH (contd)
You OK, Chad?

93

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

94

CHAD
Yeah, Im fine.
ZACH
OK, well, get back to the house, pronto.
I need to pick up my girl and her friends
at their apartment so I need some sort of
adult there to herd the cats.
CHAD
OK, Im going to do one more lap then
Ill go back.
As Zach leaves, Chad dives back underneath the water and
does another lap in the pool.
EXT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE, FRONT YARD NIGHT
The Wooly Mammoth party has just started and there is a
long line of CO-EDS waiting to get inside the house.
A few FRATERNITY BROTHERS are manning the door as the
guests file in.
As the brothers are pre-occupied IDing a particularly young
looking guy and his girlfriend, Jasper, who has been
patiently waiting in line, casually walks past them
unnoticed and into the house.
Overhead, a couple of new PLEDGES are standing on ladders
hanging a huge banner to advertise the party that says
WELCOME TO THE WOOLY MAMMOTH.
Zach is outside hanging out with WILLIAM, a fellow senior
fraternity brother.
ZACH
Ahhh, our last Wooly Mammoth party as
students William. Im going to miss
this.
WILLIAM
Me too Zach, me too.
Zach nods his head in approval as he watches the banner
being put in place.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

95

ZACH
I got to say, we did it right while we
were here. Thats the only thing you
can ask for, that you do it right.
And we did.
WILLIAM
You know it.
Zach walks across the yard, shaking hands and high-fiving
fellow fraternity brothers and kissing the cheeks of random
girls, towards the front door.
INT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE
FIRST FLOOR HALLWAY
Zach enters the house and walks down the hallway, highfiving more fraternity brothers, towards the
CHAPTER ROOM
Where he grabs a beer thats being held by an unsuspecting
pledge and snakes his way through a crowded room filled
with dancing partygoers.
Jaspers menacing face appears in the reflection of a
window as Zach walks by but he doesnt notice it.
As he makes his way across the room, hes accosted by a
DRUNK FEMALE who dances and makes out with him.
Laughing, Zach pulls himself away and walks up the
STAIRCASE
Where he maneuvers himself around several COUPLES standing
on the steps making out as he makes his way to the
SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY
Where he continues walking and high-fiving more fraternity
brothers who are hanging out drinking or emerging from
their rooms.
He twists his way through a large crowd that has gathered
outside the
BATHROOM

To watch a couple of the fraternity brothers mix the two


large vats of jungle juice.
ZACH
OK, make way, make way bitches.

The

A fraternity brother hums Hail to the Chief as Zach grabs


a red Solo cup from a random partygoer.
ZACH (contd)
Here, let me have that. Thank you.
He walks right up to the two guys mixing.
ZACH
Ahhh, a tradition like none other, the
official tasting of the Wooly Mammoth
hooch.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
Right on time Zach, we just finished
mixing.
ZACH
Alright, what do we got?
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #2
Weve got happy hooch here, angry
hooch here.
The mixer points to one large garbage can labeled Happy
by a black marker then points to the other garbage can
labeled Angry.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #2
Pick your poison, vodka or gin.
ZACH
OK, lets chase the dragon.
JUNGLE JUICE MIXER #1
I like your style.
The mixer grabs Zachs cup and dunks it into the happy
hooch.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


ZACH
(takes a sip)
Mmmm, good.
Then the mixer quickly grabs the cup again and dunks it
into the angry hooch this time.
ZACH
(takes another sip)
This is good too.
(turns to the crowd)
As president of this chapter, I hereby
approve these kick ass batches of
Wooly Mammoth. Happy drinking, now
lets get fucked up!
The crowd roars in approval as they push their way towards
the garbage cans.
CHADS BEDROOM
Chad is sitting on the couch of his tight and cluttered
bedroom passing a bowl around with Todd and Dominic.
DOMINIC
Do you think we should go downstairs?
The partys started.
CHAD
Nah, not yet. Lets wait a little bit.
TODD
Why, you afraid that Jaspers down there?
CHAD
No motherfucker, I just want to finish
our bowl. But yeah, I do feel safe up
here in my room. Anyways, I need to
get fucked up. Its early, what are
we going to do? Talk to sober chicks
sober?
DOMINIC
(takes a hit)
I dont think Ive talked to a sober
chick since Ive been in college, or
talked to a chick sober.
Dominic passes the bowl over to Todd who takes a hit.

97

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


TODD
(sarcastically)
Were a bunch of renaissance men sitting
around here, Ill tell you that.
CHAD
(laughs)
Shut the fuck up and pass that bowl over
here.
Theres a KNOCK on the door which startles the three guys.
CHAD
Who is it?
ZACH (O.S.)
Open the fucking door.
DOMINIC
Wait, do you think it could be Jasper?
CHAD
I dont think ghosts knock.
DOMINIC
Good point.
Todd gets up and unlocks the five locks on the door.
TODD
Whats up Zach?
ZACH
Do you fuckers plan to be anti-social
for the whole night?
CHAD
Nah, just for a little bit.
ZACH
Well you are at a party idiots so get
your asses downstairs, I dont want
these new freshmen bitches to think
that Zetas are a bunch of fucking tools.
I mean were not an honor fraternity,
were not Phi Sigma Pi, are we?

DOMINIC
Fuck no, were too stupid to be honor
anything.
ZACH
OK, so stop acting like one. Besides,
the bands going to go on in a few
minutes.
TODD
We got a band?
CHAD
Jesus, do you even go to our meetings?
TODD
I was probably too baked to remember.
CHAD
Fucking retard.
ZACH
Lets get moving guys.
CHAD
Alright, well be down.
ZACH
Dont lie to me.
I swear!

CHAD
Well be down in one

Zach flashes him a doubting look before leaving and closing


the door behind him.
CHAD (contd)

Chad takes another hit while Dominic grabs a bag of weed
from his pants pocket.
DOMINIC
Pack that shit up again nigga.
CHAD
Oh, you know I will.

SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY


As Zach leaves the room, he sees William walking past him
down the hallway holding hands with a young female.
ZACH
Wow, Im impressed William.
The party just started.

Already?

WILLIAM
Well you know what they say, I aint
a player I just crush a lot.
ZACH
You do you Willie boy, you do you.
WILLIAMS BEDROOM
William opens the door to his room and leads the girl in.
Its Tiffany, the girl that Jasper met last year, but shes
dressed and looks much sluttier than her freshman year.
WILLIAM
Make yourself comfortable Tiffany.
Mi casa es su casa.
TIFFANY
Oh, you speak Spanish? How exotic.
WILLIAM
Well I dont want to brag, but yeah Im
bilingual. I figure I should be so I
can have an advantage in the job market.
From what I read, Spanish will become
the dominate language in the next few
decades.
Tiffany walks over to the wall and looks at a few SAMURAI
SWORDS that are hanging on it.
TIFFANY
Well these are certainly interesting.
WILLIAM
Oh my swords? Yeah, Im a little bit
of a collector.
TIFFANY
Interesting thing to collect.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

101

William takes one of the swords off the wall to show


Tiffany.
WILLIAM
Well yeah, they make me feel badass.
Does it work?
Tiffany turns to William and feels his arm flirtatiously.
TIFFANY
Well I think its your muscles that make
you feel badass.
WILLIAM
You know, as big as those samurai swords
are, they arent the biggest sword in
the room.
TIFFANY
(laughs)
Oh really? Theyre not?
WILLIAM
No, do you want to see the biggest sword?
I have it hidden.
TIFFANY
Where is it hidden?
WILLIAM
In my pants.
William grabs Tiffanys hand and puts it on his crotch.
TIFFANY
(laughs)
Ohhh, what do I have to do to see it?
WILLIAM
It depends, do you like to suck cock?
William puts his hand on top of Tiffanys head and pushes
her down on her knees as he closes his eyes and tilts his
head back.
DOMINICS BEDROOM
Patty, Sarah and Becky are sitting on the floor of
Dominics messy room as they pass around a bottle of vodka.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese


SARAH
So Patty, you dont think Dominic will
mind that were camping out in his room
for a little bit?
PATTY
Nah, he really has no say in the matter.
I can do whatever I want and he knows it.
SARAH
God I envy you. I wish I had that kind
of relationship with Zach. That fucker
just does whatever the fuck he wants.
Never listens to me.
BECKY
Why do you stay with him then?
SARAH
Meh, I like his dick. Its pretty, I
mean relatively speaking, for a dick it
is.
BECKY
Hes a good fuck too?
SARAH
Oh, he is.
BECKY
I wish I could say the same thing about
Todd. Ive never met a guy that has
whiskey dick more than him. Im like
dude, can you stop drinking for just
two hours so I can get fucked properly.
And hes all like, tomorrow babe,
tomorrow, you have to give me enough
warning. Then tomorrow comes and he
cant help but get fucked up with his
idiot friends so we go through the
same thing all over again.
You poor girl.
college.

SARAH
Its hard dating in

BECKY
Isnt that the truth.

102

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

103

Patty takes a large gulp from the bottle and immediately


spits some of it up.
PATTY
Oh god, I think Im going to be sick.
Already?

SARAH
Its early, lightweight.

PATTY
Yeah but Ive been pounding while you
bitches have been sipping.
SARAH
Were smart enough to know its a
marathon not a sprint.
Patty spits up a little more vodka.
PATTY
Yep, yep, Im going to be sick.
She stands up and runs out of the room.
SECOND FLOOR BATHROOM
Patty rushes through the bathroom, past the jungle juice
vats, and into a stall where she immediately starts puking.
WILLIAMS BEDROOM
Tiffany is on her knees in the middle of the room giving
William a blow job when one of the samurai swords suddenly
starts vibrating against the wall.
The sword shakes loose and levitates in the air over
William and Tiffany.
William, whos eyes are closed and hands are on the sides
of Tiffanys head, doesnt see the sword over his head.
WILLIAM
Oh thats right baby, dont stop, keep
going, this feels awesome.
Suddenly, Jasper appears in the room standing next to
William. He takes hold of the sword and in one swift
movement slams it down between William and Tiffany.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

104

The sword goes straight through Williams arms at the elbow


and cuts off his penis.
William screams out in shock.
WILLIAM
Holy shit, my dick! You cut my dick off!
You cut my dick off!
Jasper stabs William in the chest with the sword and he
falls to the side dead.
Tiffany, whos topless, in shock and covered in blood, is
still on her knees and still has Williams penis in her
mouth.
She starts whimpering very loud so Jasper gets down on his
knees in front of her. He puts his index finger up against
his lips then puts it against hers to quiet her.
TIFFANY
Who are you?
Jasper just shakes his head as Tiffany suddenly gets
stabbed in the back by another sword that has flown off the
wall.
Bleeding out, she falls forward, through Jasper, with her
head landing on Williams crotch.
SECOND FLOOR BATHROOM
Patty, whos really drunk in the stall, finally stops
puking then rests her head against the toilet seat, barely
able to move.
Jasper enters the room holding Tiffanys severed head and
dunks it into the angry hooch garbage can.
He grabs a mop handle thats sitting close by and mixes the
head deep down into the batch.
Just as hes about to walk away from the jungle juice, he
turns his head and sees theres a bucket of RAT POISON
sitting inconspicuously in the corner of the bathroom.
He grabs it and pours some in both vats of jungle juice for
good measure then mixes it in with the mop handle again.

Hell Week Original Screenplay by Jason Wiese

105

As hes walking out of the bathroom he stops when he hears


a faint cough coming from a stall on the other side.
Suddenly, the stall door opens and in walks Jasper. He
stands over Patty, looking down at what a mess she is.
He lifts her head off the toilet seat by grabbing the back
of her neck. She is so disoriented that she thinks its
her mom trying to wake her up.
PATTY
No, mom, five minutes. I need a little
more sleep. Just five more minutes.
Jasper lifts the seat up and puts Pattys head down into
the puke-filled toilet bowl.
A very intoxicated Patty offers up very little resistance
as she drowns in the toilet.
Once shes dead, Jasper calmly flushes the toilet then
leaves the stall and washes his hands at one of the sinks.
DOMINICS BEDROOM
Sarah and Becky are still sitting down in the middle of the
room passing around the bottle of Vodka.
BECKY
I wonder where Patty is?
come back yet.

She hasnt

SARAH
You know how flighty she is. She
probably went to the bathroom, pissed
then went downstairs to look for Dom.
BECKY

But Sarah stops as they get about twenty feet down the
hallway.
SARAH
Oh shoot, I forgot my chap stick back
in the room.
BECKY
You want me to wait?
SARAH
No, I know my way around the house, Ill
meet up with you downstairs.
Sarah turns around and heads back to the room while Becky
continues on down the hall.
DOMINICS BEDROOM
Sarah is searching through her purse on the couch when the
door quietly closes and locks without her knowing.
When she finally finds her chap stick she tries to leave
the room but realizes shes locked in.
She tries to unlock the door but cant so she starts
banging on it.
SARAH
Hey, let me out! Come on Dominic,
Zach this isnt funny! Let me out!
Sarah has a feeling shes being watched so she turns around
and sees Jasper sitting on the couch staring at her.
SARAH
What are you? How did you get in?
What are you doing here?
(pauses)
You know, with one scream I can have
ten, twenty gigantic guys come in here
and kick your ass.

Why arent you saying anything? Answer

Jasper stands up, grabs a bottle of whiskey off a nearby


shelf and walks up to Sarah.
SARAH
What do you want from me?
Jasper slowly unscrews the cap then grabs Sarah by the back
of her neck and brings her in close to him.
Shes only inches away from his bloated, wet, slimy face as
he stares her down. She begins crying as shes overcome
with fear.
SARAH
What do you want?!? Please dont rape
me. If you want a girl I can get you
a girl, hell I can get you four, five
girls.
Jasper squeezes her cheeks together to open her mouth so
that he can pour whiskey down her throat.
He forces her to take three big gulps.
him off but is powerless to do so.

She tries to fight

He pours more whiskey down her throat and forces her to


swallow it. Just like that shes already drank half a
bottle and stumbling around the room.
LATER ON
Sarah is laying down on the couch practically passed out
from all the liquor shes drank.
Jasper is sitting next to her holding the bottle of whiskey
which, at this point, only has a little bit left.
He puts the bottle up to her lips as she tries her best to
hold him off but her efforts are futile since shes so
disoriented and drunk.
No, stop.

SARAH
Stop. Please stop.

With her eyes barely open, she puts her hand up to try to
push the bottle away but Jasper manages to shove it into
her mouth and pour the rest of the whiskey down her throat.

SARAH
No more, no more.
Sarah starts spitting up a little and is close to vomiting
when Jasper straddles her on the couch and closes her nose
with two fingers then uses his other hand to squeeze her
mouth shut.
She tries to cough and puke but nothing can come out so she
starts to choke on her own vomit.
Sarah violently kicks and struggles to get free but Jasper
manages to keep her down. Her face turns blue as her life
is slowly drained out of her.
After a while, her struggling stops and she comes to a
peaceful rest on the couch. Shes dead.

Dominic is making out with a very busty, sexy girl thats

SUZIE
Well if you want me to take care of you
youll have to go down on me first.
Dominic turns on the jets of the hot tub.
DOMINIC
Im down with that.
SUZIE
Do you want to move to some place more
comfortable?
DOMINIC
No. You dont get much more comfortable
than a hot tub.
SUZIE
OK, up to you.
Just as Dominic puts his mouth under the water, the
temperature on the hot tub mysteriously turns all the way
up to the maximum heat 104 degrees.
SUZIE
Ohhh Dominic, thats great. Thats
really great!
While Suzies eyes are closed she puts her hands on top of
Dominics head and runs her fingers through his hair.
After a few seconds, Jasper walks up to the hot tub, puts
his hands on top of hers and pushes them down which forces
Dominic to be fully submerged.
Suzie, who cant see Jasper, is confused over whats
happening and helpless to doing anything about it.
SUZIE
Whats going on? Whats happening?
Dominic struggles mightily to get to the surface but
Jaspers ghost strength is too much for even him to handle.
After a few moments, Dominic stops struggling.

CHAPTER ROOM
Zach walks up to the makeshift stage set up in front of the
crowded room and grabs a microphone thats set up on a
stand.
ZACH

Hows everyone doing tonight?!?
The crowd roars in approval.
ZACH
Is that all you fuckers got? I thought
Rockefeller University had some hardpartying motherfuckers going here?!?
So let me here you again, how the
fuck is everyone doing tonight?!?
The crowd roars even louder.
On the other side of the room, Trent is standing by a keg
surrounded by pledges and other partygoers.
TRENT
Pledges, grab my fucking ankles! This
guys going to teach you all how to do
a fucking keg stand!
A couple pledges grab Trents legs and tip him over the keg
as he grabs the tap and puts it in his mouth.
TRENT
Here I go motherfuckers!
Suddenly, Jasper, whos blending into the crowd, walks by
and stares down Trent as he begins his keg stand.
Zach continues speaking on the stage.
ZACH
OK, thats what I thought. Those are
the Rockies I know and love. You guys
loving the Wooly Mammoth?!?

Zach raises his red Solo cup and takes a sip as the crowd
roars in approval again.
ZACH (contd)
Good, good. Its like a roofie colada

and girls? Hey, are you motherfuckers
ready to hear some live music?!?
(crowd roars again)
OK, guys put your hands together, and
girls get ready to throw your panties
on the stage for The Scalawags!
As the BAND takes the stage, the lights suddenly go off
then flicker back on.
The lights overhead flicker on and off several times, with
a few of them burning out and exploding.
Each time the lights go back on Jasper can be seen standing
on stage staring out aimlessly into the crowd.
Trent continues his keg stand on the other side of the room
and finally tries to stop.
TRENT
OK, let me down.
The pledges physically cant let go of Trents legs and put
him down.
PLEDGE HOLDING TRENTS LEG #1
We cant.
TRENT
Come on fucktards, put me down!
PLEDGE HOLDING TRENTS LEG #2
We cant, our hands are stuck on your
legs!
TRENT
Are you fucking kidding me?!? Stop joking.
Im going to kick your asses when I get
down.
Suddenly, the keg tap is shoved down Trents throat and
turned on full blast.

He shakes his legs violently trying to get loose as the


blood rushes to his head but it doesnt help.
Trent ends up literally drowning in beer. Once he dies,
the pledges grips are let go and he falls lifelessly to
the ground, hitting his head on the keg in the process.
The walls around the room begin to pour out water as a
rumbling can be heard from upstairs.
Everyone starts panicking while Zach, whos standing in the
middle of the crowd, tries his best to calm them.
PANICKED GIRL AT PARTY
What the hells going on here?!?
ZACH
Dont worry everybody, dont worry, Im
sure the lights are all just part of the
show.
LEAD SINGER
Dude, were just a god damn college
band, we dont have the money for
special effects.
Chad rushes up to Zach and points to Jasper on the stage.
CHAD
Zach, look, its Jasper.
ZACH
Holy shit, it is.
CHAD
I told you he exists and its not just
a bad trip.
ZACH
What the fuck is he doing here?
CHAD
Revenge.
Hundreds of full beer cans mysteriously rise from the bar
across the room and the coolers located throughout and are
tossed indiscriminately at the partygoers.

Many are pegged in the head as they run away, causing cuts,
bruises and a lot of blood.
Suddenly, a wave of dirty seawater comes crashing down the
staircase knocking over people that were hanging out on it.
The wave of dirty seawater quickly fills up the chapter
room as many partygoers are sucked under, a couple brothers
even drown, while others struggle to stay afloat.
Several brothers rush over to the double doors that lead to
the outside and attempt to open it. However, its been
locked from the outside with a pair of handcuffs.
Theyre BANGING hard on the doors to no avail.
TODD
Let us out, let us out!
With the seawater quickly climbing up to the waists of the
partygoers, a VERY MUSCULAR FRATERNITY BROTHER comes over
and uses his upper body strength to crash through the door.
Once the doors are open, everyone floods out of the chapter
room as the wave of seawater pours out onto the backyard.
FIRST FLOOR HALLWAY
The new pledge class president leads a bunch of his fellow
pledges from the chapter room and through the first floor
hallway towards another exit from the house.
As they turn the corner in the hallway, they stop in their
tracks when they see Jasper standing right in front of the
closed door that leads to the outside.
NEW PLEDGE CLASS PRESIDENT
Easy Jasper. Easy.
Jasper stares down the president and the rest of the
pledges before he opens the door and moves out of the way
so they can escape.
Confused at first, the guys dont waste any time and run
out of the house as fast as they can.
As soon as theyre all gone, Jasper ominously closes the
door and locks it.

EXT. ZETA BETA ALPHA FRATERNITY HOUSE, BACKYARD - NIGHT


The partygoers run as fast as they can past Suzie, who has
been running around outside partially naked and totally
panicked, and off the property.
The red bricks that make up the chimney come apart and are
magically thrown at the heads of the fraternity brothers
who are trying to escape across the yard.
While non-affiliated partygoers are able to escape, the
fraternity brothers and their girlfriends are struck by
lightning at the propertys edge then levitated slightly
off the ground and held in place so they cant leave.
Next, a fraternity brother runs through the sand volleyball
court to escape. He only makes it halfway across the court
when he gets stuck in the sand.
DILLON
What the hell?
He tries to lift his legs out of the sand but its no use,
theyre stuck. Suddenly, he starts sinking into the sand.
DILLON
What thewhat the hell is going on
here?
The normal sand around him has turned into quicksand as he
continues sinking.
A fellow brother sees this and grabs a TREE BRANCH from
nearby. He holds it over the volleyball court as Dillon
tries to grab it.
PETER
Come on, grab the branch!
branch Dillon!
DILLON
I cant reach it Peter.

Grab the

Get closer!

Peter looks down and notices that all the sand on the court
has turned into quicksand.
PETER
I cant!

DILLON
Im sinking!
Peters feet get dangerously close to the quicksand and he
can feel himself almost falling in, so he throws the branch
down and backs away from the court.
PETER
Im sorry bro.
Dillon utters out some final words just before he sinks
completely under the sand.
Fuck you Peter!

DILLON
Fuck you!

Just as Peter is about to run away from the court hes


struck by lightning and levitated into the air.
Next, Todd runs out of the house holding Beckys hand. As
he gets to the edge of the property, he avoids a lightning
bolt by pulling another fraternity brother in front of him
who takes the hit.
The two manage to escape and run with the rest of the
partygoers away from the house and across a vacant field.
EXT. ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY CAMPUS NIGHT
LARGE LAKE ON CAMPUS
The partygoers run yelling and screaming down the pathway
that surrounds the lake as pedestrians look on in horror.
Todd and Becky continue running hand-in-hand with the rest
of the pack.
TODD
Come on Becky, stay up with me.
BECKY
Where are we going?
TODD
I dont know, but far away from the Zeta
house.

Suddenly Jasper appears on the pathway in front of them and


extends his hand out which stops Todd and Becky dead in
their tracks.
BECKY
What the fuck is that Todd?
TODD
Its Jasper.
Jasper stares down the two with a menacing look across his
face.
BECKY
The dead kid from last year?
TODD
Yes.
BECKY
What does he want from us?
Jasper casually puts his hand down which leads to Todd and
Beckys clothing being magically ripped off so theyre both
standing in their underwear.
TODD
What the fuck?
BECKY
Todd, I dont like this.
this at all.

I dont like

Jasper stares intently at the two before raising his finger


up. This leads to Todd and Beckys underwear being torn
off so theyre standing there completely naked.
Todd puts his hands over his crotch while Becky does her
best to cover her breasts and crotch with her hands and
arms.
Jasper stands there laughing weirdly at them.
BECKY
What the hell Todd, do something!
Todd goes to punch Jasper but his fist ends up going right
through him. He punches with such force that he loses his
footing.

Next, both Todd and Becky are levitated over the lake,
close to the fountain, and dropped into it from about
twenty feet up.
After a few moments, they manage to swim to the surface.
TODD
Becky, Becky, you alright?
BECKY
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Todd looks over to the pathway and doesnt see Jasper
anymore.
TODD
I think were OK now.
BECKY
What the hells going on here?

Im scared.

TODD
I dont know, but lets just swim to
land and well figure it out later.
BECKY
OK.
Becky begins swimming towards land, a few feet in front of
Todd, then feels a tug.
BECKY
What was that?
After the tug, shes dragged completely underwater.
Becky!

Becky!

TODD
Ill save you baby!

Panicked, Todd dives down into the water to try to save


Becky.
After several moments, a few bubbles come up to the surface
but neither Todd or Becky re-appear. Theyve both drowned.

Once he finally grabs them, he unlocks his car and jumps

As soon as he starts driving he realizes that somethings

Richard gets out of his car and sees that he has a flat
tire.
RICHARD
Shit, not now.
He opens the trunk of his car, takes out a LUG WRENCH and
puts it on the ground. Then he takes out a SPARE TIRE and
carries it to the front of the car where the flat is.
He walks back to the trunk to grab the lug wrench but is
confused when he cant find it.
He turns his head to look for it when hes immediately
belted in the face with it by Jasper.
The force of the hit makes Richard stumble back as his
torso falls into the trunk.
Jasper picks Richards legs up and throws them into the
trunk then closes it.

With the move of his hand, the car starts up again and

When Zach, Chad and Russell run into the kitchen they dont
even initially notice that Jasper is standing on a step
ladder cleaning the grease off of the stoves overhead.

Finally, Russell sees him and stops running.
RUSSELL
Wait, there he is.

He loves cleaning the god damn stove,

Russell approaches Jasper very cautiously.
RUSSELL

but at the end of the day theres a lot
of love here. These guys here tonight
were your brothers, theyd spit blood
for you. What happened was a terrible
accident, but you cant blame them because
you were a terrible swimmer. They didnt
know. Theyre sorry that anything
happened, absolutely they are. We all

Chad has had enough after seeing no reaction from Jasper.


CHAD
Oh fuck this noise once and for all.
Chad takes out a HANDGUN from his waistband and shoots
Jasper several times. The bullets have no effect on him.
Jasper looks down at himself curiously and just wipes off
his shirt like hes wiping dirt off.
CHAD
Why wont you just die again.

Just

Frustrated, Chad rushes Jasper and tries to punch him but


his fist goes right through him, hitting the stove and
breaking his hand.
Fuck!

CHAD
Im sick of this prick.

Chad backs up and tries to ram Jasper. However, he moves


to the side and Chad goes head first into the metallic
stove front.
While Chad is rolling around on the floor, the stove door
opens and Jasper picks him up, throws him into the stove
and sets it for broil.
Zach rushes over to the stove in a panic but is unable to
open the door.
While Zach is occupied with trying to release Chad, Jasper
has picked up Chads gun.
Suddenly, a loud noise echoes through the kitchen. Zach,
in shock, looks down at his chest. Hes bleeding from a
bullet hole wound caused by Jasper shooting him from
behind.
After a few last breaths, Zach falls down to the floor
dead.
The only remaining person left is Russell as Jasper looks

Dead bodies litter the floor and theres no one else left
