"A spring break rave in a Houston mansion that was meant to emulate a movie turned deadly early Wednesday morning after several attendees fired guns, killing one person as police tried to break up the party.

The unidentified male victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at Ben Taub General Hospital, Houston police told ABCNews.com.
The party, which attracted between 500 and 1,000 guests, was meant to copy the party thrown in "Project X".

The 2012 movie follows three high school students who throw the ultimate "anything goes" party that spirals out of control. While a damaged home and a bad hangover may be the only consequences partygoers faced in the movie, a string of copycat parties have caused over $100,000 in real damage, handfuls of arrests and the Houston fatality.

Daniel Menjivara, a 22-year-old college student, said "Project X" and the fact it was spring break were the reasons he and many others attended the Houston house party. Menjivara said he was "the exception" at the party and was surprised to find the crowd was mostly composed of teenagers.

"The house got pretty full. You could barely move around," he said.
Trash cans full of spiked punch were set out for partygoers. Wet foam blanketed the floor. Women who wore bathing suits were granted free entry to the party, according to the flyer."

Why can't kids just OD and have alcohol poisoning like they used to?

Whatever happened to "House Party" inspired parties? You know, with the crazy hair and stupid dance? At least when people knocked feet nobody died.

Kids are stupid, and always will be. Something tells me that teen deaths by gunshot isn't new hat in Houston.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

It's about aliens showing up at ancient parties and showing the partiers how to party. It's the origins of partying.

It's about chimps who are exposed to radiation poisoning while performing military exercises. It's so sad because one of them knows sign language so he seems all human or whatever, and the chimps try to escape because they know they're being slowly killed. Matthew Broderick nailed this role.

How this connects to a house party is beyond me.

Fixed. Project X is actually the next step in Triple H and Shawn Michael's plan for world dominance. They managed to resurrect Flyin' Brian Pillman as a fast zombie; thus, the reason the police couldn't catch the shooter.

Well at least it wasn't a hot girl that got killed. It makes me sad when hot girls die.

Matthew Broderick played a chimp? Was he like the Ferris Bueller of chimps?

Remeber when these types of movies had like a moral and would give some sort of deeper meaning about the dangers of beeing a complete fuctard and after watching them you would learn something and be likely less of a fucktard.

Ah, those were the days.

How do you 'accidently' shoot somebody multiple times?


get your ass to mars

Jamie Lee Curtis did it with an Uzi in True Lies.

The lesson learned? Never impersonate Urkel at a party.

I never had that kind of party, thank God. I've had my share of birthday partied where I had a ton of friends come over, but definitely never something like that.

I don't know anyone who has, to be honest. I've been to one that had like a hundred and fifty people and it was fucking nuts. Nobody died, either, although one girl did get pregnant.

I have been to a few out of control parties with way too many people. Thankfully no guns were involved, but there were some pretty gnarly knife-related incidents.
