Donnie Darko With their parents traveling, Donnie and Elizabeth hold a Halloween costume party to celebrate Elizabeth's acceptance to Harvard. At the party, Gretchen arrives distraught as her mother has gone missing. Donnie realizes Frank's prophesied time is only hours away. He takes Gretchen and two other friends to visit Sparrow. They find her away, when they are attacked by two high school bullies, Seth and Ricky, who were trying to rob Sparrow's home. Donnie, Seth, and Ricky get into a fist fight onto the road, just as Sparrow is walking back home along it, and she stops to watch. A car swerves to avoid Sparrow and runs over Gretchen, killing her. The driver turns out to be Elizabeth's boyfriend Frank Anderson, wearing the same rabbit costume from Donnie's visions. Frank leaves the car, asking if she's dead and what they were thinking to stand in the middle of the road. Donnie shoots him in the eye with his father's gun.
