Club Dread (also known as Broken Lizard's Club Dread) is a 2004 comedy/horror film, written by the comedy group Broken Lizard, who also created Super Troopers. It is directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, one of the group members.

Club Dread follows a familiar plot that stems from the novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. In the movie, Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton) is a has-been rock star who runs a non-stop party on his private island. Dead bodies begin to turn up, and the staff try to solve the murder mystery without any of the guests learning of the murders.
