The premise

Here’s the bit.

Chad (Pete Davidson) drives up to an isolated manor at night and wanders inside, where he meets the ghost of the house's former lady (Adele), her throat still bearing a fatal wound. She tells him her death was passed off as suicide but was really murder by her husband, who wanted her inheritance, and leads him to a letter that proves it. Chad stays completely unbothered, stepping away mid-revelation for a bathroom break, carelessly setting the evidence alight with a candle and leaning in for a kiss that sends him through her and under a falling suit of armor. He shrugs it off and agrees to spread her story, until the ghost discovers his body still pinned beneath the armor.

Highly quotable.

Ghost: "Yes, I'm afraid it's quite the gash." Chad: "Gash."

Ghost: "I'm not familiar. Who's the author?" Chad: "Waldo."

A little extra

    There, on the desk, you'll find a letter from my husband. Read it. That letter is more dear to me than you know.
