* Technically a really Nasty Afterparty, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Bartholomew%27s_Day_massacre the St. Bartholomews Day Massacre]] was basically the Red Wedding taken to the extreme. UsefulNotes/IvanTheTerrible expressed [[EvenEvilHasStandards his horror in a letter]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{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. They believed 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 is forbidden from leaving the room. He loudly announces that they're prisoners rather than guests.

** The Glencoe Massacre was an inversion of this: Two companies of government soldiers commanded by Robert Campbell of Glenlyon were billeted on the Glencoe MacDonalds. During the night, orders arrived from the Secretary of State Lord Stair via one Major Duncanson, who was on his way with a force of 400 men, to assist them in a punative raid against their hosts as an example to other unruly clans in the area who swore alleigence to the crown with their fingers crossed behind their back . When they arrived, between 25 to 38 MacDonalds were dead. The combined force of Earl of Argyll's Regiment of Foot then ran amok along the glen, burning houses and seizing livestock. The whole incident attracted adverse comment from overseas, a royal commission was called, and if there was none before, the whole Campbell / Macdonald feud continues half - jokingly to this day.

* In ''Film/RobinAndThe7Hoods'', Gisborne has Big Jim gunned down by the assembled gangsters of Chicago at his own birthday party.

* The ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' 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 [[FieryCoverUp started the fire to cover up his murder of one party guest that he killed in an altercation and one other guest]] [[LeaveNoWitnesses due to the other murdered guest witnessing the initial murder]]. [[GhostlyGoals 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 [[LikeFatherLikeSon acts the same way the owner did under the same circumstance in the house party up to instigating a]] FieryCoverUp as well, [[SinsOfOurFathers they settle for the owner's son as their revenge target instead]] [[KillItWithFire by burning him alive]].
* On ''Series/{{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.

* In ''Literature/MaidenCrown'', 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, 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.

* When Goguryeo general Yeon Gaesomun heard that the king Yeongnyu plotted with court officials to have him killed for rivaling him in power and influence, his solution to the problem was to throw a lavish banquet under the pretense of celebrating his recent promotion to governor and have his men massacre all one hundred officials present. He then led a march on the palace, killed Yeongnyu and dismembered his corpse, and made himself military dictator, with Yeongnyu's nephew on the throne as a PuppetKing.
