Bad Kids Go to Hell

Bad Kids Go To Hell was a 2009 four-issue horror comic mini-series from Antarctic Press, written by Matthew Spradlin and Barry Wernick, with artwork by Anthony Vargas. It's a horror story described as "The Breakfast Club meets The Grudge". The story is set at Crestview Academy, a prep school for the town's social elite (i.e., rich kids). Six of the kids are given detention for varying reasons and forced to come to school that following Saturday to serve it. When the pipes burst in the classroom, they're moved into the recently built library of the school. As they talk, the conversation moves into the history of the land the school is built on, which is supposedly haunted. Bored and having nothing else to do, the group decide to hold a seance to call upon the spirits...and it pretty much goes downhill from there.


 * Cosmic Plaything: Matt Clark; it's even lampshaded.
 * Contrived Coincidence/Disproportionate Retribution: Pretty much anything that happens to Matt during his flashbacks of his encounters with the others in detention.
 * Downer Ending:
 * Jerkass: Pretty much every character save for Matt, who's mostly rough around the edges.
