Dark Dungeons
2014 · Film · 41 min
Directed by L. Gabriel Gonda
College freshmen Debbie and Marcie are excited to start their new lives at a Pacific Northwest university but after being invited to a Zeta Omega Epsilon party the two suddenly find themselves in the strange and occult world of Role Playing Games. The duo are soon hooked on the highly addictive experience that is RPGing and the game quickly becomes a habit that consumes their lives. After Debbie’s intense pagan training through the RPGs lead her to accept an invitation to join a witches’ coven, her grades begin to plummet and she is in danger of flunking out of college. She calls on darker and deeper magical forces to use a “mind bondage” spell on her professor. Meanwhile, Marcie foolishly reads from the Necronomicon and summons Cthulhu.

I actually made a movie based upon the Jack Chick "Dark Dungeons" comic and tried my hardest to make a faithful to the spirit adaption. I think the results speak for themsevles; www.darkdungeonsthemovie.com
The Dark Dungeons movie mentioned is actually a movie made by people who DO understand D&D et al, but are trying to create an accurate film portrayal of Chick's cartoon tracts:

As a gamer myself, it's just kinda weird to watch my favorite hobby get distorted like that. I'd say it'd be more fun to remove all the gaming references and replace them with actual Lovecraftian Cthulhu cultists, but that's just my opinion.
