{{Quote|Those weirdoes in raincoats are grabbin' young people and takin' them to the movie theater off of Paradise Plaza. Save them!|Otis Washington in [[Chop Till You Drop}} The Cult is an unmarked scoop in Dead Rising and a named scoop in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. It takes place in Paradise Plaza in the afternoon of the second day. It involves the True Eye cult and its leader Sean Keanan, who are about to sacrifice a young woman, Jennifer Gorman.
Overview
When Frank visits the Paradise Plaza in the afternoon of Day 2, he will stumble upon a strange gathering, outside of Jill's Sandwiches, of men and women dressed in yellow raincoats and green face masks and an older man in a white robe. The older man, Sean Keanan, stands over a bound woman who is shaking with fear. Sean claims that they must spill the woman's tainted blood to stop the zombie invasion in Willamette. He orders his minions to place Jennifer in a bloody wooden crate where she screams and pleads for help. Just as he raises his sword, he notices Frank, who stands out among the crowd of cultists, and orders them to attack him, stating that he is another tainted person. He then flees, leaving an imprisoned Jennifer and a surrounded Frank to deal with the crazed people. Once the cult members have been killed, Jennifer can be freed and escorted to the security room.

Notes
- Though Sean Keanan is introduced in this scoop, he cannot be fought until the next day during the scoop A Strange Group.
- During the cutscene, around 10 cultists can be seen around Jennifer. However, at the end of the cutscene there are almost two dozen cultists, so be ready! (see gallery)
- If you happen to be captured by the cultists via sleeping power, it would be best to hurry back to the Paradise Plaza before Jennifer dies.
- Enter the Paradise Plaza after 1pm on the second day with caution as your entrance automatically triggers the scoop cutscene and at the end, you will spawn where outside of Jill's Sandwiches to fight the cult members.
- Be wary when bringing other survivors with you as they do not spawn with you when you enter Paradise Plaza. For example, if you come from the Entrance Plaza or the warehouse, your survivors will spawn from those entrances and will run across the plaza to reach you, possibly getting stuck in hordes of zombies.
