Just thought it'd be fair to let you know why you're going to die.
A Web Video series debuting in 2010, focusing on murderers, serial killers, and all around villains.
The pilot shows the event when a nameless man enters the house of a drinking lounge-about. What happens next is chaos and violence, coupled with the killer's dark desire and the poor man's fight to survive. Add a picture of a mysterious girl and a granola bar to the mix, and you've got a four minute short that was originally written to introduce an entire series.

The pilot, first appearing March 1, 2010, provides examples of:
- As You Know: Subverted. It seems the killer is about to tell the audience and the man why he's come to the house, but then simply drops the subject and then kills him. Brutally.
- Book Ends: The pilot begins and ends with the sunny street.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Not right away, but it becomes quickly apparent that the killer is gonna walk out satisfied.
- David Versus Goliath: The killer is not a big guy. The slob is quite large.
-
Follow the Leader: The pilot makes it look almost Dexter-ish, but later episodes prove otherwise. - Fork Fencing: The slob pulls a steak knife out of a drawer when the fight makes its way into the kitchen.
- Improvised Weapon: When the killer finds himself against an armed man, he uses a granola bar with deadly results.
- Nameless Narrative: No names are given for either the killer, the slob, or the woman in the photo
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Compare the killer's attire to the slob. It may not be a suit and tie, but it's certainly nicer.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: The radio plays in the house, and the final song puts an eerie look to the final moments of the fight.
