A person or group of people are invited to a social gathering — a party, banquet, or any other form of get-together. However, it's just an excuse to get them all together and kill them. An Old, Dark House is an ideal place to pull this off. In Real Life, this is literally one of The Oldest Tricks in the Book — it's been played countless times since the beginning of history. It has also always been considered as an especially ruthless and evil thing to do, as it is the ultimate violation of Sacred Hospitality — transgressing against the latter is frowned upon even by warlike cultures and usually but not always crosses the Moral Event Horizon. It is much more acceptable when the invited ones are all guilty of horrific crimes and do not even know who the host is, as there is not even the matter of betrayed trust at hand. It's a classic nevertheless, because, after all, it is also very effective and convenient. A subtrope of Lured into a Trap and often of the Decapitation Strike. Compare Reunion Revenge, A Fête Worse than Death, Widowed at the Wedding, Wedding/Death Juxtaposition, Board to Death and Ten Little Murder Victims. Nothing to do with the Conservative Party of Great Britain, occasionally known as "the nasty party" by its critics. Also not to be confused with a Shoddy Shindig, where the party merely sucks, but there is nothing murderous about it. Not to be mistaken with the "Nasty Patty" from Spongebob Squarepants. As this is a Betrayal Trope and a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

The Tales from the Crypt episode "Surprise Party" features a house party whose attendants turn out to be ghosts of the party-goers who died in a house fire that was instigated by the owner of the house after said owner started the fire to cover up his murder of one party guest who he killed in an altercation and one other guest due to the other murdered guest witnessing the initial murder. They have intended to kill the house owner to avenge themselves should he return, but, after encountering the owner's son, who had not only murdered his father and burned his will upon learning that the owner had planned to donate the plot of land where the burned house is and put his desire of donation in the will but acts the same way the owner did under the same circumstance in the house party up to instigating a Fiery Cover Up as well, they settle for the owner's son as their revenge target instead by burning him alive. | |

Subverted in "The Creeps" episode of Adventure Time. The protagonists are invited to a dark, spooky castle (which is heavily lampshaded), locked in, and then receive a message that a ghost will possess one of them and kill the others. This appears to happen but eventually turns out to be a prank by Jake targeting Finn. Double subverted (?) since Finn intended to prank Jake and staged the first two "murders" accordingly; Jake found out about Finn's plans well in advance and turned the tables on him. | |

Towards the middle of the Nibelungenlied, Siegfried is murdered by his wife's brothers. The widow, Kriemhild, then marries the king of the Huns and invites her brothers and all their retinue to a feast. Unfortunately, they've been forewarned and turn up armed; the result is an all-night bloodbath only brought to a close when the Huns burn down their own hall. Oh, and according to some versions of the story, this leads to a disgusted Hun taking out Kriemhild with a Diagonal Cut. | |

In Maiden Rose, the introduction to the first real villain, Princess Theodora, has her eating a nice dinner with her cabinet ministers on their private train. Or rather, she's eating and they're lying dead on the table after ingesting a little too much poison. Apparently the dinner party was "rather boring". | |

Sluggy Freelance has the "Displacement" Story Arc, where a Mad Scientist holds an auction for his Displacement Drive Vehicle. He's not actually interested in selling it; he just knows that anyone who wants to steal the Displacement Drive will try doing so at the auction. So, by killing everyone who shows up, he guarantees its safety! Too bad a lot of the bidders are also Mad Scientists and supervillains who don't take too kindly to this plan. | |

And by "surprise party", we mean "ambush".

Vikings: Ragnar pulls this on Jarl Borg. He declares that he wants to end the feud with Jarl Borg and invites him to a peace meeting. Borg brings a sizable force of bodyguards with him but Ragnar's men trap them in a house and kill them all. Borg is then executed via Blood Eagle. Horik tries to pull this on his ally Ragnar after he becomes worried that Ragnar will use his popularity to usurp Horik as king. He comes to Ragnar's village under the pretext of arranging marriages between his daughters and Ragnar's sons. However, he also lands a large group of warriors in a remote bay and they then march to attack the village at night after everyone has tired from the festivities and has gone to sleep. However, Ragnar has figured out Horik's plan long ago and Horik's men walk into a trap where they're killed, and then Horik's family is slaughtered. |

The Divine Comedy: In the Inferno, Dante places "traitors against their guests"—i.e. hosts who break hospitality—in the third round of the ninth circle of Hell (i.e. the third-worst place, after the fourth round of the ninth circle and the three mouths of Satan chewing on Judas, Brutus, and Cassius). The third round features the story of Fra Alberigo, who invited his brother and nephew (with whom he was quarreling) to dinner and then had them killed (the signal being calling for fruit). | |

However, it turns out that the whole wedding was a ruse set up by Tammy and the Galactic Federation to gather Bird Person's band of rebels together and have them all arrested for rebelling against the dictatorship. Tammy then murders Bird Person, leading to a shootout that culminates in several of Rick's allies getting killed, wounded, and/or arrested by the Federation, but the main characters manage to escape. | |

Notable ones include Cai Mao's attempt on Liu Bei (unsuccessful), Zhuge Liang drugging a number of Nanman soldiers (they had been planning on using the banquet to make a surprise attack), and Zhou Yu's attempt on Liu Bei (also unsuccessful, as Liu Bei was accompanied by Guan Yu). | |

Used in the The Dresden Files book Grave Peril, in which the leader of Chicago's vampires invites everyone she hates to a party so she can kill them all. This was incredibly risky as Sacred Hospitality is very important in the supernatural circles and breaching it would be construed as an act of war. She planned to force Harry a Sadistic Choice of either breaching her hospitality (so she could kill him without any political backlash) or allowing her to kill an innocent in a manner that will destroy a powerful anti-evil weapon. She did not expect him to burn the entire mansion down around her, though her death still ultimately sparks a war between her vampire faction and his wizardly council. | |

Gesta Danorum details the story of Amleth, the inspiration for Hamlet, who avenges the murder of his father by his uncle Fengo. At a memorial feast held on the occasion of Amleth's presumed death, Amleth unexpectedly returns. The rest of the court gets drunk, due to Amleth plying them with drink, and fall asleep. Amleth then pulls tapestries down over them and using hooks he had made earlier with which he claimed he'd avenge his father's death, he fixes the tapestries in place. He then sets the place alight while going off to kill his uncle in a sword-fight, through switching their sword with one fixed in the scabbard. | |

Discworld: A strategy supposed to have been used by some Pictsie clans. Always seems to fail because everybody gets too drunk to carry the plan out effectively. Referenced as a strategy in Interesting Times. However, Cohen points out it would not be appropriate for their situation, as they are up against 700,000 enemy soldiers. He also notes at great length that he would never use poison; his preferred method is to get everyone drunk and then cut their heads off. One of Cohen's fellow octogenarian barbarians says they could still pull it off, if they did something simple for dinner, "like pasta". Apparently the barbarians don't consider this tactic to be dirty or dishonorable at all since anyone stupid enough to fall for the ol' "invite them to a feast, get them drunk and slaughter them" trick was definitely Too Dumb to Live anyway. |

Final Fantasy XIV has the "bloody banquet" (as it is known after the fact), added to the Main Scenario during the last patch of A Realm Reborn before Heavensward's release. The Crystal Braves founded by Alphinaud conspire with the Monetarists to dispose of Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn in one fell swoop. Nanamo is poisoned as she confides to the Warrior of Light about her plan to turn Ul'dah into a republic, the Warrior is framed for her assassination, the Scions are declared enemies of Ul'dah by association, Thancred gets interrupted in the middle of wooing a girl, and Flame General Raubahn Aldyn gets his arm cut off by his Evil Former Friend Ilberd Feare (though he does manage to kill mastermind Teledji Adeledji). The Scions are scattered going into Heavensward, with Yda and Papalymo taking refuge with the Ala Mhigan Resistance, Thancred and Y'shtola bringing down a tunnel and using Flow to escape it, and Alphinaud and the Warrior seeking refuge in Ishgard. Ultimately, none of the good guys end up dead following the banquet, thanks to a Gambit Pileup between Lolorito Nanarito (acting on behalf of the Monetarists as a whole) and Teledji (acting exclusively on his own self-interest); Nanamo's potion was swapped for a sleeping draught in advance, and the Scions manage to avoid getting captured before their names are cleared. | |

In Maiden Crown, Valdemar and his co-ruler Knud are ambushed at a peace banquet, which was a trap set by their mutual enemy Svend. Knud is murdered in the ensuing battle, the Bloodfeast of Roskilde, while Valdemar barely escapes (and is initially assumed to be dead). Svend is later defeated and killed in battle against Valdemar, who becomes the sole king of Denmark. | |

Point Horror has an initially non-fatal version of this in The Invitation, where the Alpha Bitch invites five rather unpopular students to her annual party but intends to use them in her people hunt party game. It doesn't stay non-fatal however as a gate crasher sneaks the protagonists to different locations and rigs them so they will die slowly. The three who succumb are saved and taken to hospital but it's left unclear if they survive. | |

AdventureQuest 3D: Halloween 2021 added the Masquerade of the Macabre to the game. Player characters crash this ball under circumstances leaving them aware from the start that most of the masked nobles in attendance are some form of monster magically disguised as human and that most of the actual humans were invited under the grounds that it's only polite for the important guests to bring food. From the start the official greeter makes no bones about what's going on here or what your assigned role is, and the party is leaving plenty of (not literal, for ratings purposes as commented by the characters) blood on the dance floor. (Some of the NPCs populating the ball are aligned with the players, so the action parts are an ongoing affair not reliant on player triggering.) The thing is, despite the PC being snarky and self-aware, despite players being naturally more trope-aware, despite a few things being naturally spoiled by the acts of players further along in the questline... it's still hard to anticipate just how nasty a party this one really is, in how many ways and to how many people, without going through the whole extended thing and finding out all the greeter wasn't initially telling you. In particular, this party isn't such a great deal for the monsters either... | |

One of the stories in Trick 'r Treat has a group of gorgeous college girls blowing into town on Halloween night and throwing a party out in the woods. Meanwhile, a mysterious man who appears to be a vampire is stalking the youngest of the girls, setting up a clear Slasher Movie plot. Then it turns out that all the girls - including the one who had been set up as the Final Girl - are werewolves, who have eaten all their guests, and the vampire - who is actually a mundane Serial Killer with fake fangs - realizes that he picked the wrong target. | |

The Venture Brothers: The show had an episode where Dr. Venture, Brock, Baron Ãœnderbheit and Pete White all attend the funeral of a friend from college, only for the friend, who wasn't really dead, to kidnap them all in revenge for their wronging him. It turns out that these slights all had to do with the man's crush on a girl at college; the four "victims" all mock this since the girl never knew he existed in the first place and the whole crush bordered on stalkerish obsession. Then it turns out the friend had died, ages ago, and the scheme was being carried out by a robot duplicate. There was the episode that introduced Underbheit where he holds a meeting with his subordinates and subsequently attempts to kill them. A later episode shows he failed, two of them run a resistance against him, a third is being held captive in his bedroom. Later in the same episode, Ãœnderbheit is party-ambushed in turn. The Monarch invites him to a meeting to settle whose minions have the right to menace Dr. Venture, set up as a cheap party complete with snacks "for company" and mistakenly-diet soda. When the Baron arrives, he immediately has to fend off a surprise laser attack, but after some posturing and minion casualties, they call a draw and continue with their summit. |

Stargate SG-1: Ba'al, the only System Lord who survived the demise of the Goa'uld Empire, had himself cloned multiple times afterwards. Later on, as part of a plot to pull a Grand Theft Me on the current Big Bad Adria, he gathered all of his remaining clones for a meeting and had them killed off with anti-Goa'uld poison gas. Although, with Ba'al's paranoia, it's little surprise that several of them didn't show (including the original) and continued to wreak havoc in Stargate: Continuum. | |

Referenced as a strategy in Interesting Times. However, Cohen points out it would not be appropriate for their situation, as they are up against 700,000 enemy soldiers. He also notes at great length that he would never use poison; his preferred method is to get everyone drunk and then cut their heads off. One of Cohen's fellow octogenarian barbarians says they could still pull it off, if they did something simple for dinner, "like pasta". Apparently the barbarians don't consider this tactic to be dirty or dishonorable at all since anyone stupid enough to fall for the ol' "invite them to a feast, get them drunk and slaughter them" trick was definitely Too Dumb to Live anyway. | |

To an extent, Mewtwo from Pokémon: The First Movie. He sends several invitations to his Island Base for trainers in what appears to be a challenge from the world's best trainer, but it's just a ruse to take the Pokémon to use for his cloning machine (the logic being that the trainers who made it to the island had the strongest Pokémon). Once his plan his complete, he decides to spare his "guests" to give them preparation for their eventual deaths at his hands. | |

The legendary tradition of Britain, first laid out in the Welsh Historia Brittonum, has it that the Saxon king Hengist, after the Saxons' first quarrel with the Britons had been settled, invited King Vortigern of Britain with three hundred of his nobles to a banquet in celebration of the peace treaty — only to have them attacked and killed in the middle of the feast, sparing only King Vortigern, who was forced to ransom himself with ceding the Saxons further provinces of Britain. The event is also known as "The Night of Long Knives" and, if it ever happened, would have taken place around 460 AD. | |

Happens no less than three times in the Norse version of the Nibelungenleid, The Saga of the Volsungs: First, King Siggeir marries Signy, daughter of King Volsung, but is jealous of her twin Sigmund getting a sword he wanted. Siggeir lures King Volsung and his ten sons to him with claims of celebration, but murders Volsung and has the sons chained in a forest to be devoured by a wolf. Only Sigmund survives. In the version of the previously-mentioned incident, Atli, the Hun King, is the one who plots the murder of his wife's brothers. They suspect a trap but go and both die along with their followers. After murdering Atli and their two sons, Gudrun, the equivalent of Kriemhild, burns his fortress down during the funeral supper, killing all his other followers. |

Dr. Drakken has twice invited groups of famous scientists to conferences/traps. The first time, he invited Kim's father, a former schoolmate, without connecting the surname "Possible" to his nemesis ("It's a common name! Who knew?"). The second time he intentionally omitted Dr. Possible from the invite list to avoid attracting Kim's attention (it didn't matter, Kim was visiting her uncle at the Possible Ranch right down the road). |

There's a recurring skill book in The Elder Scrolls called "A Game At Dinner," which combines this with a dose of I Know You Know I Know. It recounts a party held by a noble in a Deadly Decadent Court. After the main course, he brings a pot of soup to the table, and informs his guests that he knows some of them to be disloyal, and that he has poisoned the offending parties. In a few minutes they will die an extremely painful death... unless they get the antidote, which is in the soup. After a few nervous minutes, a guest breaks and frantically gobbles down some soup, only for the host to reveal he'd been bluffing to smoke out the traitor, and the only poison in the meal had been in the soup itself. The traitor dies painfully, the other guests sigh in relief, and the narrator reconsiders getting involved in court politics. An assassin quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion actually has you taking part in one of these. You get bonuses if no-one realizes you're the killer, and if you play your cards right you can actually get them to kill each other out of paranoia. |

A Song of Ice and Fire has a severe case of shindig + politics = murder. Here are most of them: Edmure Tully's wedding gains the moniker "The Red Wedding" for this very reason. In revenge for a political slight and open treason (respectively), Walder Frey and Tywin Lannister arrange to have Robb, Catelyn, and a large percentage of their bannermen slaughtered at the reception, with the treacherous Northern Lord Roose Bolton personally murdering Robb. This is considered especially shocking as all cultures respect Sacred Hospitality and as a result, nearly everybody in the Seven Kingdoms despises the Freys. Later in the same book, Lady Olenna Redwyne (probably, the culprit is not explicit) murders Joffrey at his own wedding, framing Tyrion for the act. She was motivated as Joffrey was a Sadistic King who was marrying her granddaughter and his death means his kinder and weaker-willed brother Tommen succeeds. There is also the Dothraki party in Vaes Dothrak. Viserys turns up drunk and threatens his pregnant sister Daenerys, telling her husband Khal Drogo he was promised an army to take back the Seven Kingdoms, and mocking them as they can't use weapons or shed blood in the city. Drogo promises Viserys a crown of gold and pours molten gold over his head. Ramsay Bolton's wedding to "Arya Stark" (really Jeyne Poole, who is being forced into this role to help the Boltons hold the North) begins becoming this. The Northern Houses hate the Freys present due to the Red Wedding, and people keep turning up dead. Also the three Freys travelling with Lord Wyman Manderly from White Harbor, who lost one of his sons at the Red Wedding with the Freys lying and claiming Robb Stark murdered his son, have disappeared, though Wyman brings three pies which he serves to the Freys and Boltons and eats with gusto. When he insults the Freys on Little Walder Frey's death, Little Walder's uncle Hosteen Frey tries to kill him, leading to a fight in which Frey and Manderly men die. Lord Bolton is forced to send the Frey and Manderly men out of Winterfell against Stannis Baratheon. Over two centuries prior to the story Maegor the Cruel had all the architects for the Red Keep murdered at a banquet to protect its secrets. There are rumors one of them escaped and later murdered Maegor, though it is more likely Maegor killed himself on hearing of his nephew's rebellion against him. |

In One Piece, going to one of Big Mom's tea parties is usually a lot more pleasant than what she'll do to you if you refuse to go. However, during the Whole Cake Island Arc, where the party was supposed to cement an alliance between her and the Vinsmoke family, she was actually planning to assassinate them. The plan was foiled because Sanji (who was to be married to Pudding at the party as part of the deal) overheard the plan beforehand. Of course, Vinsmoke Judge and Capone Bege were both planning - independently - to do so to her at the party; the good guys prevailed because the bad guys were too concerned with each other. | |

In Peaky Blinders' second season, the partly-Romani Shelby crime family form an alliance with the Jewish gang who run Camden Town against the Sabini Family, and, as a diplomatic nicety, Shelby boss Thomas sends his brother Arthur to attend a seder hosted by the Jewish kingpin, Alfie Solomons. Arthur goes in good faith, keen to learn about the history of another "persecuted race", but at the height of the Passover story, Alfie declares war against "the King of the Egyptians, Tommy Shelby" note This is a reference to an old myth that Romani people originated from Egypt, hence the pejorative "gypsy" and reveals that he has formed a new alliance with Sabini. Arthur's retinue are killed and he is arrested under false pretenses. Even when Alfie switches sides again (dismissing the betrayal as Nothing Personal) Arthur never really trusts him again. | |

History books in the Ravenloft D&D setting record that Lord Leo Dilisnya engineered a massacre at the wedding of Sergei von Zarovich, attempting to depose the Von Zaroviches as the reigning noble house of Barovia. Only those in-the-know are aware that the bridal couple and many others really died thanks to Sergei's jealous elder brother, Strahd, who went berserk after his murder of Sergei drove the bride, Tatyana, to suicide rather than into his arms. As the murder also cursed Strahd as a nigh-unstoppable vampire, he probably killed as many or more of the wedding attendees than Leo's assassins in his rage. | |

In the early Fear Street novel Halloween Party, several teens are invited to their classmate's titular party. Only one of the guests remains suspicious as to why they specifically were invited when no one else in school was allowed to attend, until it's revealed the host is really a 30 year old woman who wants to kill them all as revenge for their parents causing the deaths of her own mother and father. She manages to kill the kid whose dad drove the car that caused the accident all those years ago, and planned to kill the rest by burning the house down with them trapped. Thankfully the guests escape with help from the woman's uncle and she's stopped from killing herself after her plan's foiled. | |

The movie version of Clue. With the twist that one of the guests, and not the host, is doing the killing except in the "true" ending, where it turns out that all the guests save one and the host himself are murderers: they were invited by Mr. Boddy for the express purpose of killing his informants, conveniently cleaning up any evidence against him and ensuring they all had at least one new skeleton in the closet for Mr. Boddy to blackmail them for. Then it turns out that the one guest who was actually innocent is actually a federal agent, and he kills Mr. Boddy just as the cavalry arrives. | |

In the Left Behind book Assassins, Pontifex Maximus Peter Mathews of Enigma Babylon One World Faith is invited to a private party hosted by the ten regional subpotentates of the Global Community to show him a massive ice sculpture made in his honor. However, in playing out what the Book of Revelation says about the "whore that sits on the beast", the ten subpotentates use that party as a united opportunity to kill Peter Mathews with sharp ice feathers from the sculpture, eventually causing Enigma Babylon to fold with the Pontifex Maximus' death and to soon be replaced with Carpathianism following Nicolae Carpathia's death and "resurrection". | |

At least two The Punisher stories involved this. In one, a group of corrupt corporate executives have a party on a yacht and are killed by Frank Castle, via blowing up their boat with some C4. Another story involved Frank killing a group of gangsters by poisoning the soup they all eat at the dinner. | |

No Time to Die: The imprisoned Blofeld arranges a birthday party for himself in Cuba, attended by most members of Spectre, and lures James Bond to it so that, as the high point of the festivities, he can be killed with a nanotech virus weapon programmed to recognise him by his DNA. Unfortunately for Spectre, the Mad Scientist who created and programmed the nanotech is secretly working for Blofeld's rival Diabolical Mastermind Lyutsifer Safin, and instead programs the nanotech to kill all the Spectre members and spare Bond, combining this trope with Make Way for the New Villains. | |

Amphibia features this in the finale of Season One. All of Wartwood is invited to Toad Tower for a party by none other than Anne's friend, Sasha. They are led to a heavily guarded room with a large banquet inside. Meanwhile, Anne and Sasha decide to catch up with one another. Sasha explains that the real reason everyone got invited to Toad Tower was that the toads had decided to execute Hopadiah, believing him to be upsetting the political structure of the valley due to the fact he'd run for mayor against Toadstool (and likely would have won if he'd campaigned outside of Wartwood). Commander Grime believed that executing him in front of the other frogs would prevent rebellion. Their plans are thwarted when Sprig notices that the guards are acting strangely and are forbidding them from leaving the room, and realises that they're prisoners rather than guests. | |

Captain America: The massacre at the Bar With No Name during the original "Scourge of the Underworld" storyline, where eighteen villains were murdered, was a variation on this, except that the host wasn't behind it. The villains had met there to discuss the danger that Scourge posed, and because they knew at this point that he was a Master of Disguise, they doubled down on security, had everyone searched before entering, and they all checked their weapons at the door. Unfortunately, Scourge had disguised himself as the bartender, and no-one ever thought to search him, leaving them all vulnerable when he made his attack, gunning them all down. | |
