Anyone who has watched the American version of The Office will agree that the fire drill sequence is one of the most iconic moments in the show. The scene, in which Dwight Kurt Schrute III (played by Rainn Wilson) tricks his colleagues into thinking there is an actual fire in the office building, is packed with jokes. But a user on Twitter decided to turn the sequence on its head and convert it into a short horror film.
Alabama-based videographer Austin Spencer removed all the jokes and added a little scary music. The resulting version turned out to be quite chilling.
