Maeve goes home and gets a samurai sword from her grandmother’s collection of props from old movies. She then goes to the band’s tour bus. She cuts two of the band members, then ties up the third. This man, the singer, yells and begs her to stop as she peels back the skin of his face. Annoyed that she can’t hear her Halloween song—“Werewolf Bar Mitzvah”—over his yelling, she cuts off his lower jaw.

Maeve then moves on to the drummer. She inserts his drumsticks into his ears until his eardrums burst and he is bleeding. She then cuts off his penis. With the last member, the bassist, she breaks each of his fingers then cuts them off, hiding a few on the tour bus for someone to find later. She then kisses him, biting until she severs his tongue, then spits his blood over his body.

Maeve continues to dismantle the men, leaving body parts around the tour bus. She takes one of their phones. She then finds a bag of cocaine and adds pieces of their brains to it. She goes back into the bar with more parts of their brains, putting them into people’s drinks as she goes.
