It’s not an exaggeration to say this is probably the most well-known moment from the show. Even if you haven’t watched Scream Queens, there’s a good chance that you saw a clip of this kill go viral on Twitter or Tumblr .

The fact that the victim of this murder seemed to be a particularly harmless girl is a bit unfortunate (all she wanted to do was be friends and sing to Taylor Swift songs) but it doesn’t take too much away from how clever this kill is.

One way to define how clever someone is is to see how well they adapt to and use their environment, and the lawn-mower kill in the very first episode shows some serious forethought.

It’s well-known that one of the Chanels’ hazing rituals involves burying new pledges up to their necks in the garden and leaving them there for a while, and we sort of have to applaud the Devils for taking advantage of that. Killing someone with a gun or a knife is boring, mowing their head off whilst giving the grass a trim is amazing.
