SETH.

ur point aside shaundead-1 i thought seth was a great character and it was a shame they killed him off

Aslan is on the move

I couldn't agree more. He was sooo much better in this film compared to Rock and Roll High School! I will never forget him! "Robinhood to the rescue-who!"

Just saw this for the 1st time and you NAILED it on the head in your summation of Seth. Why people don't BOLT when they see a severed head in bed is beyond me. Seth did all that, and what you wrote. Refreshing to see this type of dude in a somewhat typical 80's horror flix.

I've told all of my dates when I go camping with them, that if someone goes missing, or doesn't come back, I'm OUTTA there, no questions asked. Seen WAY too many horror flix as a kid and that has messed with me ever since.

Only two minor corrections.

1) He doesn't slip the hot chick a quaalude. SHE brought the quaaludes, and the liquor. What he did was correctly ID the chick ready to party.

3) He grabbed the gun for the gate, since the frat pres made clear there was no getting out of the gate without shooting the lock off. The first rule of preservation is get the hell out of the murder mansion.

and he might not even have died! (I mean, we're led to believe he did, but we never see anything. sometimes I like to live in a fantasy world where Seth is still alive and kicking gork ass all around the world)

I'm so glad you posted this. I love this film mainly because of the actions of Seth. Seth is a thinking man. Most horror films have you screaming "Don't do that" to the idiot characters. Not Seth. Here's a list of sweet things Seth does.
1) He slips the hot chick a qualude to increase his chances of getting laid.
2) When he finds her decapitated head he splits with haste. No investigating.
3) He grabs the gun from the wimpy guy in an effort to presevre his own life.
4) He scales the 12ft iron fence with the speed of an olympic gymnist.
5) He immediately alerts the police.
6) When the cops act like horror movie cops he takes matters into his own hands.
7) He arms himself with significant firepower before returning to the horror scene.
8) His death is completely understandable given the information he had at the time. Not an idiot death because he had to "Check the fuse box". Seth simply miscalculated the number of crazed mutants on his heroic mission.
9) Seth dies a hero. He was never a victim.
Never forget Seth.

I know the above is an old post, but I absolutely love it, and didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle any sooner than it has to be. The poster is wrong on a few points: Seth didn't "slip the hot chick a qualude to increase his chances of getting laid," for instance. Denise, the hot chick, brought in the drugs herself, and she came on to Seth pretty strong; so if anything, it was the other way around. But the overall spirit of the poster's sentiments here are dead-on. I'd like to shake the guy's hand.

"Seth dies a hero. He was never a victim. Never forget Seth."

I love that. Seth was cool as hell.

I watched the film again this morning and know what? I wouldn't have been terribly upset if Seth was the one who lived and Marti had died lol.

"That fart was so deadly Jack Bauer should have been called to stop it!" -Me

I agree with many of the sentiments here. Shaundead, I couldn't agree more...
