"Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps" is the fifth episode of the third season of the U.S. television series ''Community''. It first aired on October 27, 2011 on NBC and is the series' 2011 Halloween episode. In the episode, Britta is led to believe that one member of the group is a psychopath and is determined to find out who it is. Though her plan was to gauge the reaction of the other characters after telling them a horror story, all the other characters end up telling stories of their own. Each story illustrates how each character views each other and themselves. The episode was written by series creator Dan Harmon and directed by Tristram Shapeero. It received positive reviews from critics. ==Plot== Britta (Gillian Jacobs) administered an anonymous psych quiz on the study group, only to find out that one of them could be deeply disturbed. At a Halloween pre-party, she tries to seek out the supposedly homicidal group member by telling the group a horror story and observing their reactions. Britta tells the group an urban legend about a couple (played by Britta and Jeff (Joel McHale)) making out in a car before being murdered by an escaped psychopath with a hook hand. She asks Abed (Danny Pudi) how he feels. Instead Abed critiques the irrational choices the couple made, and tells a "horror" story of his own. In his story, he and Britta camp out at a log cabin. Abed takes all precautions, including bringing a radio to listen to the news and charging his cell phone. When the escaped psychopath threatens, he calls 911, locks the doors and has him and Britta stand back-to-back holding knives. Annie (Alison Brie) interjects with her own story in which Jeff is a vampire who feeds on a submissive Britta for sustenance. Annie is an innocent schoolteacher who tames Jeff by teaching him how to read. Suddenly, Jeff turns on Annie, who then reveals herself to be a werewolf and mutilates Jeff. In Troy's (Donald Glover) story, he and Abed are lost fighter pilots who seek help from a crazy, old racist doctor, played by Pierce (Chevy Chase). Pierce sedates them and sews their stomachs together. However, this makes Troy and Abed more powerful, and they knock Pierce out with their enhanced mind powers. They then sew Pierce's buttocks to his chest and replaces his hands with feet, making him unable to touch his new "boobs." Pierce then counters with his own story in which he is a stud surrounded by hot women (Annie, Shirley and Britta). When two thugs (Abed and Troy) invade his home, Pierce easily subdues them, including knocking out Troy with his "manhood". In Shirley's (Yvette Nicole Brown) story, the rapture occurs while the rest of the group indulge in alcohol and marijuana in a cabin. The Devil, played by Dean Pelton (Jim Rash), arrives to welcome them to Hell but is temporarily held off by Shirley, who the group "used to pick on for being Christian." She rises to Heaven, leaving the group behind to be slaughtered by the Dean. Britta finally reveals to the group that from the test results, someone is a psychopath, which freaks everyone out. Jeff then tells his own story where the group is attacked by a hookman in a cabin. Jeff interrupts and asks the hookman why he kills people. The hookman then reveals himself to be Chang (Ken Jeong) who just wants a hug. However, Jeff's story does not calm everyone down. After checking, Annie finds out that Britta scanned the tests upside down. The corrected results reveal that all but one of the group members are crazy. The group decides not to find out who it is so that they can "hold on to the comforting notion that one of us might be sane." The final shot reveals that the only sane group member is Abed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
