Dean Cathy Munsch

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq_01_jamie_lee_curtis_ad_singles_0001_pw43.jpg
Played By: Jamie Lee Curtis

The new Dean of Students, she has a grudge against Kappa Kappa Tau. However, after the Red Devil killings, she decides to travel the world in search of a new mission. This leads her to purchase a hospital with the goal of taking on the most incurable medical cases.


  • Action Girl: The Dean turns out to be a superior hand-to-hand fighter. She's able to singlehandedly kick the crap out of two Red Devils and an Antonin Scalia and sends them running.
  • The Alcoholic: Not to the extent it interferes with her life too much, but she drinks a lot more often than she should. Wes even calls her out for trying to have scotch at ten in the morning. In the finale it turns out she doesn't have kuru, she's just severely dehydrated from drinking hard liquor exclusively.
  • The Atoner: After dealing with the Red Devils personally and Jennifer's murder, Cathy shows more sorrow and regrets for her actions. She starts helping Grace out with investigations by giving her information, she finally closes campus to protect the girls and calls out the police for their incompetence.
  • Authority Equals Asskicking: Is Dean of Wallace University, and probably the toughest person in the series, considering she single handily takes on three Red Devils, and emerges victorious.
  • Dark Secret: Back in 1995, she covered up the death of a student at Kappa Kappa Tau in order to protect her career.
  • Dean Bitterman: She despises young people in general and holds a longstanding grudge against sororities in particular, possibly stemming from an incident in her past.
  • Dirty Coward: As Grace points out, she's keeping the campus open to keep people from finding out her involvement with the death of the sorority girl in 1995.
  • Dirty Old Woman: Not especially old; however, she's very forward in her sexual advances, often towards younger men. Including blackmailing some of her students to sleep with her.
  • Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: The dean of a university blackmails a student to obtain sex in exchange for the student not failing in class. If the genders of the participants were reversed, nobody would hesitate to call it rape. The fact that Chad is a huge jerk and clearly enjoys having sex with her (specifically a lot more than she enjoys sleeping with him) is an attenuating circumstance.
  • The Gadfly: She derives great pleasure from messing with the heads of the KKT sisters. Even the few nice ones.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: She has become the same kind of authority figure she used to rebel against in her youth, only without the same amount of power.
  • It's All About Me: As Grace lampshades, she doesn't care about the Red Devil killings, right up until there is an attempt on her own life.
  • Jaded Washout: Outright wonders what happened to her life, she has the same position of authority she used to rebel against only with less power, reaching Dean has only meant she gets the most slight pay rise, her husband left her for a younger woman, and she's forced to blackmail students into having sex with her (and not even good sex).
  • Jerk Ass Has A Point: When she calls Grace on making her investigation about the Red Devil about herself and her past.
  • Karma Houdini: Probably the biggest one, along with Hester. She becomes a best-selling author (of a book that was ghost-written), keeps her job and the campus, her crimes are never brought to light and even gets Wes as a boyfriend.
  • Lack of Empathy: Really doesn’t care in the slightest there is a lunatic on campus, murdering people in connection to Kappa.
  • May–December Romance: She's blackmailing Chad into a sexual relationship. She finds sleeping with him tedious, he practically falls for her.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Poison her drink, freeze her alive, it won't matter. Nothing seems to kill this woman.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Has a white noise machine that has 500 different sounds of things like "distressed whale calls," "baboons fighting," and "slasher movie."
  • Official Couple: With Wes, as of the finale.
  • Passive-Aggressive Kombat: Her preferred avenue of attack when dealing with someone who is actually nice.
  • Pet the Dog: Is apparently pro-tolerance toward Homosexuals.
  • Saw "Star Wars" Twenty-Seven Times: She's seen Psycho fifty times.
  • Secretly Dying: She's suffering from Kuru, which she had contracted during a trip to New Guinea.
  • Sex Goddess: She has immense sexual expertise, with Chad, Wes, and Brock all stating it was the best sex they'd ever had.
  • Straw Feminist: Her ghostwritten book on feminism. She sums up her message as "women should be in power over everything." Though it's clear that she was just pulling that out of her ass to impress her fans.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Constantly, to the point where she openly states she has no idea how Chad got into college.
    • Most notably is when she frames a student for the murder of her ex-husband, leaving behind careful clues...only to have the police be so incompetent and lazy that they fail to even spot the fake evidence.
    • When the police share their theory that the Red Devil is a ghost, Munsch realizes it's time to call in the FBI rather than count on these morons for help.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: Munsch only became Dean at the start of the series after her predecessor's death. She immediately makes herself an enemy of Chanel #1 by trying to revoke KKT's charter, forcing their acceptance of all pledges, and overall trying to clean up the Greek system.
  • Woman Scorned: Murders then mutilates her ex-husband, and then frames the woman he left her for it. She even quotes the full line when monologuing about the event.

     Wes Gardner 

Weston Gardner

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq_10_oliver_hudson_ad_singles_0890_pw.jpg
Played By: Oliver Hudson

Grace's father, who gets a job as a professor at Wallace University when the killings start, so he can keep an eye on his daughter.


  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Grace is absolutely mortified when not only does he turn up as a teacher at the college, but he has managed to get himself assigned to one of her classes.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: His monologue in "Chainsaw" heavily implies he's carrying some past trauma and secrets of his own. The reveal he lied to Grace about her mother, and even burned down his own home to sever all links to her is apparently part of it, but it's implied he's still hiding more.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: The Chanels' were more than a bit bitchy to Grace, while Hester was helping commit murders and made Grace an accomplice in sending three innocent people to prison. The trauma of all of this ends up getting Grace sent to an insane asylum. Wes of course decides to kill the Chanels', and work with Hester in the process.
  • Former Teen Rebel: Present Wes is a bookish and somewhat nerdy man, whose sharp and hasn't dated since Grace's mother died (except Gigi). It's later revealed that when he was a teenager, Wes was a wild reckless party animal, who slept with many different girls.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite his bookish and friendly personality, his favorite film is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). He likewise loves horror films and finds much deeper psychological analyses to them than most fans would. It's implied to relate to his past.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: His reasoning for hiding Grace's mother's past from her. He also burned down his old house to get rid of any evidence of his former life to keep Grace from learning about her mother.
  • Official Couple: As of "Pumpkin Patch" with Gigi, and later with Dean Munsch in "The Final Girl(s)", after Gigi's death.
  • Made of Iron: While being stabbed in the arm with a chainsaw clearly causes him pain and disables him for a few minutes, he quickly recovers and regains his senses moments later.
  • Nice Guy: Wes is an affable, friendly man.
  • Only Sane Man: One of the few people who react to the killings in a rational and normal manner. Such as assuring his daughter is safe and being shocked at the Police's casual dismissal of events.
  • Put on a Bus: Doesn't return for Season 2 until episode eight.
  • Really Gets Around: Only during his college days, he even stated that he used to be "a bit of a man-slut". As a result, he ended up fathering Grace, Boone, and Hester.
  • Ship Tease: With Gigi. They connect over their love of The '90s and end up going off to get some coffee together.
  • Tranquil Fury: His default anger, complete with his voice getting lower and his gaze turning into a Kubrick Stare. While a cheerful man, he effectively skips all other steps of rage and goes straight to this.
  • Waistcoat of Style: His signature look.
  • Your Son All Along: A DNA test proves that he's the father of Boone and Hester.

     Dr. Steven Munsch 

Steven Munsch

Played By: Philip Casnoff

Former "The Beatles 101" professor at the university and Dean Munsch's ex-husband. Left her to be with his student Feather.


Students

     Pete Martinez 

Pete Martinez

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq_33_diego_boneta_ad_singles_2293_pw.jpg
Played By: Diego Boneta

The editor of The Sentinel, the university paper, and a barista at a local coffee shop on campus.


  • The Atoner: By "Black Friday" he's racked with guilt and shame at being a murderer.
  • The Determinator: Will stop at nothing to catch the Red Devil killer, he even gives up his holiday to dedicate more time to working on it.
  • Forced into Evil: Was forced to act as the third Red Devil by the other killers in exchange for both his and Grace's safety.
  • Genre Savvy: Same as Grace he's aware of horror tropes, although unlike her, he doesn't fly off the handle as much as she does, allowing him to actually be this.
  • Goofy Suit: He is also the school mascot, meaning he often has to wear the Red Devil suit.
  • Intrepid Reporter: Despite only being for the university's newspaper, the lengths he's willing to go push him towards this trope.
  • Knight Templar: While he is indeed remorseful, he considers himself justified in his murders as they went on to make a difference.
  • Love Interest: He is quickly set up as this for Grace.
  • Nice Guy: He seems to be an all-around cheerful and friendly guy, and he likewise has disdain for the stuck-up Kappas and Chad. However he's not as pure as he first seems.
  • Only Sane Man: Arguably the most sane character in the series, the closest thing to a quirk he has is that he likes doing a Matthew McConaughey impression.
  • School Newspaper News Hound: The editor of the university's newspaper, he hopes to crack open the secrets of Kappa Kappa Tau.
  • Stalker with a Crush: For Chanel, last year. According to Pete later on, Chanel purposely led him on and manipulated him for a prank.
  • The Unfettered: For such a nice guy, Pete has surprisingly few moral scruples when it comes to investigating the Red Devil's identity, and has happily resorted to breaking and entering, hacking security systems and even bribing an official with drugs, to get a DNA test results. Granted as he's trying to stop a mass murderer, its perhaps justified. It proves however to be an early hint of truly how far he is willing to go.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Him being willing to let the Red Devils carry on, stems from his hatred of the corruption and elitism of the sorority and fraternity systems on campus.
  • Wicked Cultured: At one point quotes Nietzsche to Grace when talking about why he helped the Red Devils.
  • With Catlike Tread: Whenever he tries to sneak into a place, he accidentally breaks the glass on the door or window he's picking.

     Coney 

Aaron Cohen / "Coney"

Played By: David Simpson

After the news spread that the Red Devil is the campus killer, Dean Munsch gets a new mascot.


  • One-Scene Wonder: He gets killed by the Red Devil after his one scene with a speaking role. Didn't stop people from loving him.

Dickie Dollar Scholars Fraternity

     Chad Radwell 

Chad Radwell

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq_02_glen_powell_ad_singles_0214_pw.jpg
Played By: Glen Powell

The acting president of DDS, and Chanel's boyfriend.


  • Ambiguously Evil: "Evil" is stretching it, but it seems Chad truly is too self-obsessed and out-of-it to understand the morality of his actions and relate to other people. Eventually turned out to not be evil at all as Chad ended up going to heaven and became friends with Jesus Christ.
  • Asshole Victim: In essence, he is being raped by Dean Munsch, who is blackmailing him for sex. But he's such a tool that most of the audience doesn't seem to mind, and neither does he for that matter.
  • Birds of a Feather: He eventually finds someone who not only plays along with the macabre things that turn him on but actually shares them: Hester. Subverted as he later chooses Chanel over her.
  • Book Dumb: Lampshaded in "Pumpkin Patch" following a monologue where he gets almost every single historical fact wrong, Dean Munsch wonders how he got into this university.
  • Brainless Beauty: He's a Hunk but he's also quite stupid and shallow.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: His plan to catch the Red Devil: get juiced, scream "Red Devil," and cause havoc outside, in the hopes that he'll just show up. He calls this a "ghetto code." Coupled with his self-absorbed nature and stupidity, it's evident that he's not very in touch with reality. His plan is Crazy Enough to Work, though.
  • Dark Secret: Parodied, he is very ashamed about being lactose intolerant.
  • Demoted to Extra: In Season 2 where he's now a guest star. A lot of fans are confused by this as well, seeing as he's the clear-cut Ensemble Dark Horse and Breakout Character of Season 1. Fans are clinging to hope he won't suffer Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome and that his role will be similar to that of Denise in S1. Sadly, those who did call SSDS on Chad were right on the money.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: He may be a moron, but he has several moments of keen insight:
    • When he points out that Ms. Bean's body being missing doesn't mean she's alive. Someone could've just moved it.
    • When he correctly deduces that Boone's death couldn't have possibly been a suicide as the police claim.
    • He also anticipates that the fact he has necrophilia will draw the police's suspicion upon him if he reports to them finding the bodies of the Red Devil's victims.
    • In "Seven Minutes in Hell" he's the only one to remember there are two red devils when everyone is accusing each other and is the one who finds the secret passageway.
    • In "Thanksgiving" upon finding Hester's body missing, he immediately asks if Chanel bothered to check her pulse and confirm she was dead. Upon it turns out she didn't, he rightly predicts she is still alive, woke up, left, and will find them later on.
  • Dumb Jock: Despite the only sport he partakes in being golf, he fits this. However, it's clear that he is in fact the smartest member of the Dickie Dollar Scholars (excluding Boone), which really says more about them than being any achievement for him.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Chad is misogynistic, extremely lustful, and perverse. However, when his younger brother dedicates his Thanksgiving speech to what he is thankful for extreme Eastern European pornography, and how it's affected local girls, even Chad is left speechless and clearly embarrassed.
  • Family Theme Naming: His brothers are named Brad and Thad.
  • A Father to His Men: Chad's biggest redeeming trait is he honestly does like and care for the other members of the Dicky Dollars Scholars society, and is supportive, protective, accepting, and kind towards all of them. He’s likewise devastated when they die…except for Dodger for some reason.
  • Foil: Chad is in several ways a foil to Chanel. Both possess similar personalities, are heads of their respective societies, and have similar levels of influence on campus. However, they have multiple differences. Chanel admits she doesn't truly have any friends, and often bullies and belittles her fellow Chanels' to keep them in line. Chad by contrast genuinely does like the other members of the DDS to whom he is encouraging, compassionate, and friendly. In turn, he is very popular amongst them, to the point he is unbeatable in a campaign race, and Caulfield is happy to charge a serial killer to save him. Chanel is largely bigoted, and Chad while hugely misogynist doesn't seem to possess any other prejudice (his best friend Boone is gay, which he knows and accepts. He's likewise friends with Earl who is black and British). Chanel is heavily implied to be the way she is through being abused herself (by her mother, by the former heads of Kappa), and Chad by contrast is implied to be the way he is through being spoiled. These contrasts set two people who could otherwise be considered Distaff Counterparts apart.
  • Gold Digger:
    • He tells Chanel right to her face that her best quality is that she has a super-rich dad. Chanel takes this as a compliment. (Chad himself doesn't need the money, as his family is incredibly wealthy Old Money)
    • Interestingly, his parents think Chanel is one, despite her being actually super-rich.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite all of Chad's numerous flaws he does truly care for his fellow DDS brothers. When he found out Boone was gay he didn't care and got the other members of the DDS to join him in trying to exact revenge on the Red Devil who "killed" Boone. Also, while he does get annoyed at Chanel for breaking up with him and kicking him out of bed Chad does leave and doesn't try to continue once she made it clear they were done. For such a sex addict like Chad having that level of self-control is surprising.
  • Honor Before Reason:
    • When he thinks Hester is pregnant he immediately plans to take responsibility and marry her, despite the fact he's made it clear he doesn't like her and knows he's going to be unhappy marrying her.
    • He also intends to fight Pete in a duel, due to him rejecting a membership to the DDS, and the old tradition saying Chad has to.
  • I Love the Dead: He's aroused by dead bodies. It's not clear whether or not he had intercourse with corpses.
  • It's All About Me: Chad is a huge egomaniac who can't go more than a few sentences without complimenting himself. This is implied to be the source of his jerkish tendencies.
  • Jerk Jock: To such a degree that he manages to fulfill this role in the show even though the sport he plays is golf.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chad is a narcissistic, selfish jerk. However, he has a few redeeming traits; he truly does seem to like and care about his frat brothers and is accepting and protective of his best friend Boone. Also after giving his word to Chanel to not sleep with anyone else but her, he keeps it, despite it causing him obvious misery.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: A downplayed example. His views about relationships are extremely skewed and emotionally abusive, but he seems to genuinely believe that he's not at fault and that Chanel is the abusive one. He explains that he knows this because he's a psychology major and that Chanel can't recognize her abuse because she's not that educated in psychology.
  • Lack of Empathy: Subverted, his extreme sex drive and egocentricity leads Grace to believe he's incapable of seeing people as anything other than objects in relation to him and causes her to initially suspect he's the killer. Turns out Chad is perfectly capable of feeling empathy, and can honestly be incredibly understanding, supportive, and caring towards others, as he repeatedly displays as the series goes on towards his fellow members of the DDS. Chad is an arrogant, lustful, and misogynistic young man, but he is not a lunatic.
  • Likes Older Women: Chad will sleep with any girl he meets, however, both the people he's admitted to enjoyed having sex with the most (Dean Munsch and Denise) are quite a bit older than him.
  • Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Inverted. He is a massive asshole who is absolutely terrible in bed, thanks to his necrophilia. Dean Munsch finds him a poor lover and Chanel also establishes that she fakes it in bed with him. Though she does jump at every half chance to sleep with him. Granted Denise enjoyed sleeping with him.
  • Mercy Kill: Chad wants Chanel to do this to his goat Remy because Remy will miss Chad and so Jesus can meet the goat.
  • Mommy Issues: By his own admission, he has a ton of mother issues, to which he attributes his attraction towards Dean Munsch.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He had a couple of shirtless scenes and several shower scenes in Season 2.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: He gets very aroused by death and the macabre. When he finds the bodies of most of the Red Devil's victims, he's terrified but admits afterward that he was still turned on.
  • Pals with Jesus: Golf pals. Still pals. After dying in season 2 Chad goes to heaven and becomes golf friends with Jesus who he tells about his goat Remy. Surprisingly Jesus wants to meet Remy.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Not only does he accept his best friend Boone's sexuality, he even lets him share a bed with him when he's scared-twice. Even after the first time Boone had inappropriately touched him, it did not damage their friendship, and he let him in again on another occasion once he promised not to do it again.
    • It's subtle, but when he and Hester find the bodies of the Red Devil's victims, he grabs her by the hand and drags her along with him while running out.
    • Later on when discussing what to do in the coffee shop Chad tried to warn everyone else there NOT to go to the haunted house. This fails but it's the thought that counts.
    • Him being genuinely encouraging towards Caulfield after he loses both his arms also counts.
    • Him also honoring his promise and not sleeping with any other girl after he promised Chanel he would remain loyal to her also qualifies. Especially as doing so causes him noticeable distress.
    • He also invites Pete to join the DDS, despite previously rejecting him on the grounds that any friend of Boone's is a friend of his.
  • Really Gets Around: Chad has a serious problem keeping it in his pants, to the point that he is explicitly called a "man-whore." He even ends up sleeping with Denise.
  • Serious Business: Clothes packing is this to him, to the point where he did his minor in it.
  • So Beautiful, It's a Curse: He has this opinion about himself, believing that Even the Guys Want Him.
  • Sole Survivor: With the death of both Boone and Earl in "Ghost Stories", he is the last Dickie Dollar Scholar left remaining... until the third episode of Season 2.
  • White Sheep: Downplayed, as "Thanksgiving" reveals, for all Chad's flaws he is by far the nicest Radwell. Further supporting this is that after he dies Chad goes to Heaven and becomes friends with The Savior, Jesus Christ himself.

     Boone Clemens 

Boone Clemens

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sq_01_nick_jonas_ad_singles_0045_pw.jpg
Played By: Nick Jonas

A member of DDS, and Chad's roommate and best friend.


  • Ax-Crazy: As the Red Devil, he's pretty violent.
  • Beardness Protection Program: He wears a fake one to go out in public after faking his death and gets confused for Joaquin Phoenix.
  • Brains and Brawn: Was the "brawn" to Hester's "brain"
  • The Brute: Out of all of the Red Devil killers, he was physically the strongest of the bunch and is implied to have caused the majority of the killings. Both Pete and Hester even referred to him as the "muscle" of the Red Devil conspiracy.
  • Dumb Muscle: His sister tends to refer to him as such. While Boone is much smarter than most characters, it's not hard to see why someone like his sister would view him as this.
  • Freudian Excuse: His mother died in childbirth, he spent the first few months of his life living on rubbish and stolen milk, then spent the first four years of his life in an asylum, surrounded by lunatics. All this goes to explain why he's so unstable.
  • Jerk Jock: To such a degree that he manages to fulfill this role in the show even though the sport he practices is golf.
  • Lack of Empathy: He's happy to kill his own friends, just as soon as ordered or he feels it would benefit him.
  • Made of Iron: Falls out of a second-story window, onto solid concrete, and just gets up and runs away.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: At one point though he even signs his real name when someone mistakes him for Joaquin Phoenix and asks for his autograph. This disguise fails him in "Ghost Stories" allowing him to be found out although most people thought he was a ghost.
  • Red Right Hand: He's found out to be not a ghost after Zayday and Grace spot his scarred right hand from when Zayday had stabbed him with a fork.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Subverted, as he's revealed to have faked his death and is working with his sister and adopted mom, as well as performing the serial killings himself. Then he's actually killed off by Pete, acting under blackmail.
  • Straight Gay: Subverted, pretended to be gay as an elaborate plan for revenge along with joining the Dickie Dollar Scholars.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: As one of the Red Devils, he's an absolute master at this.
  • The Sociopath: Has seeming no concept of empathy or understanding that killing is wrong. He is happy and causally discusses and contemplates murder with equal ease as he kills others.
  • Tyke-Bomb: Gigi raised him and his sister since infancy with the single goal of obtaining revenge against KKT.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Chad. Chad is perhaps the only person in the world he ever held any genuine care for.
  • Walking Spoiler: Yeah... it's hard to explain Boone's involvement with the plot without spoiling the character outright.

     Earl Grey 

Earl Grey

A member of DDS, his defining trait is being British, and he seems to take over the role of Chad's main sidekick after Boone's death.


  • Advertised Extra: Lucien Laviscount is billed in the main cast, but appears in very few episodes and has minimal lines.
  • Dumb Jock: Just like the rest of the Dickie Dollars Scholars (except Boone), he's not very bright.
  • Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Speaking British English, rather, is part of his appeal to Zayday.
  • Hidden Depths: Underneath his frat boy personality and lack of intellect, he actually strongly supports progression and racial equality (granted in a quite twisted manner) and would do so himself, if Chad wasn't unbeatable as president. For this reason, he supports Zayday in her pursuit of overthrowing Chanel.
  • Lovable Jock: He is a nice, easy-going guy unlike the rest of the Dickie Dollar Scholars.
  • Nice Guy: Frat boy personality aside, he seems pretty laid-back, kind and friendly.
  • Mauve Shirt: What little development he had was to make his murder by Boone more tragic and personal for Zayday.
  • Punny Name: Earl Grey is a type of tea, furthering the fact that he's meant to be a British stereotype.
  • Separated by a Common Language: Chad frequently misunderstands him due to his use of British terminology.
  • Straight Man: Aside from his frat-boy personality, he seems to be the most normal of the Dickie Dollar Scholars.
  • Twofer Token Minority: His nationality is what gets played up for jokes and turned into a stereotype. The fact that he's black has been completely irrelevant thus far.

     Roger and Dodger 

Roger and Dodger

Played By: Aaron Rhodes (Roger) and Austin Rhodes (Dodger)

Twin brothers who are members of DDS.


  • Angsty Surviving Twin: Roger at first misses him deeply. Subverted later on when he realizes how refreshing it is not to be around him all the time.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Dodger was gutted with hedge shears, but it was Rodger who was shot with a nailgun at point-blank range three times. Then a bunch of nails are unloaded into his face.
  • Dumb Blond: Both of these pretty blond boys are as dumb as a bag of bricks.
  • Dumb Jock: Just like all the other members other DDS except Boone.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Following his death it turns out none of the DDS truly liked Dodger, and believed he was holding Roger back, even Chad.
  • Skewed Priorities: When being chased by the Red Devil they stop running to demand that Chanel #5 picks one of them, after proclaiming they both have fallen for her and can no longer accept her sleeping with both of them Chanel #5 lampshades how poor their timing is. Also worth mentioning that earlier in the same scene, when the Red Devil first shows up with the hedge clippers, Dodger says they should go "bash his car", while Roger has to step in and say that they should protect Chanel #5 first.
  • Sibling Triangle: Their relationship with Chanel #5 eventually evolves into one of this, when the twins decide that they don’t want to share her anymore. The triangle is resolved rather quickly when Chanel #5 chooses Roger on the fly and Dodger is killed shortly thereafter.
  • Theme Twin Naming: Their names are nearly identical.
  • Those Two Guys: They always appear together, until Dodger gets killed by the Red Devil.
  • Twin Threesome Fantasy: They both have sex with Chanel #5, simultaneously.

     Caulfield Mount Herman 

Caulfield Mount Herman

Played By: Evan Paley

Another member of the DDS, who ends up losing both arms in a fight with the Red Devil.


  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Sure he's an idiot, but he's certainly a tough idiot. When the Red Devil cuts his arm off, his first response is to pick up his bat with his other arm and try to carry on fighting. This causes him to lose his other arm. But is still pretty impressive.
  • Dumb Jock: As with the other members of the DDS (except Boone).
  • Handicapped Badass: Parodied, losing both arms doesn't prevent him from winning the DDS challenge of eating spaghetti-o's.
  • Made of Iron: Is more surprised than hurt when he loses both arms. And likewise survives and recovers from it easily. It takes chopping his head off to kill him.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Chad. He charges the Red Devil to save him.
  • Off with His Head!: How the Red Devil kills him.

Others

     Red Devil 

The Red Devil

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/red_deveil_promo_pic.png
Played By: Riley Schmidt (in costume/as pizza delivery guy); Nick Jonas, Diego Boneta, and Lea Michele

The main villain of the show, the identity is shared by several people who harbor a deep-seated hatred towards Kappa Kappa Tau and begin a killing spree wearing the university's school mascot costume... a Red Devil.


  • Ax-Crazy: Extremely (if not wantonly) violent, gets points for using an actual axe a few times.
  • Badass Cape: A large red one.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Subverted for the final Red Devil, Hester. She ultimately succeeds in her plan for revenge on the Chanels, and get off with her crimes, scot-free.... at least until she stupidly blabs her crimes into a camera.
  • Big Bad: The main antagonist of the show.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: The episode "Chainsaw" shows that there are at least two people sharing Red Devil identity.
  • Cain and Abel: Both Boone and Hester are the "Cain" to Grace's "Abel".
  • Chainsaw Good: Uses it as weapon of choice on several victims on the episode appropriately titled "Chainsaw."
  • Clean Up Crew: They serve this function even for the bodies they are not responsible for, making sure they disappear soon after they're killed.
  • Creepy Twins: It is revealed that two of the killers were the twins, Boone and Hester.
  • The Dragon: The Red Devils appear to be this for Gigi. Until she is murdered.
  • Four Is Death: It is ultimately revealed that there were a total of 4 killers, that were a part of the Red Devil conspiracy. Though Gigi never actually directly killed anyone (while in costume) and Hester apparently only killed her fellow conspirators, Pete and Gigi.
  • Lack of Empathy: Despite all the grisly murders they commit, they show no remorse whatsoever at all for their victims that weren't Asshole Victims.
  • Made of Iron: So far none of the devils have been truly that good in a fight, but they recover from a lot of punishment quite quickly.
  • Malevolent Masked Man: He wears a mask that covers his/her entire head, concealing his/her identity.
  • Nail 'Em: Kills Roger in the "Seven Minutes in Hell" episode by repeatedly shooting him in the head with a nail gun.
  • Paper Tiger: Nearly all of their victims have been able to physically overpower them at some point, only biting it due to their own stupidity or the Devil having a deadly weapon.
  • The Quiet One: Even around Boone and Gigi, their brother and surrogate mother, they never speak. Gigi lampshades this in "Thanksgiving."
  • Samus Is a Girl: Played with. The killers are the bathtub babies, Boone and Hester.
  • The Starscream: Murders Gigi, and takes over the mission herself.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Can seemingly appear and disappear in the blink of an eye.
  • Walking Spoiler: For obvious reasons, namely their identities.

Detective Chisolm

Played By: Jim Klock

A local police officer called in to investigate the Red Devil attacks at Wallace University. He's also had a close and often interment relationship with Dean Munsch in the past.


  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Admits in "Ghost Stories" he's spent the whole investigation believing he was after a ghost.
  • Clueless Detective: Even the most basic jumps of logic seem to much for him.
  • Dirty Cop: Downplayed, isn't outright corrupt, but is happy to let Dean Munsch drive the investigation into the killings due to her being a respected public figure, and due to him having slept with her in the past.
  • The Ditz: Is really not qualified for his job.
  • Police Are Useless: Fails at every form of police work he is forced to do. And none of the other cops in the town are any better. It's deconstructed in episode 11, where his incompetence gets him and his division fired.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Thinks he's in a Slasher series, which is true... except it's the wrong kind (he thinks it's Supernatural)
