Once every four years, the Warren Gore Olympics provide the most taboo of entertainment for millions of viewers around the world. A single ticket costs exorbitant amounts of money, and yet they always sell out. For those who wish for the death games of eras past, it's their one chance to live their dream. Presided over by the eccentric Scott Warren, whose face remains a mystery behind his costume chipmunk head, the Gore Olympics are a veritable buffet of violence. Debtors, convicts, and the odd volunteer participate in twisted games that almost always end in a grisly demise. For the survivors, however, the rewards are great.
