So, you didn't even bother to cast a mind bondage spell on her first? What the hell were you doing wasting all that valuable training time for, then?octafish said:
Update: Chick's Dark Dungeons Film Seeks Kickstarter Cash
- Thread starter Karloff
- Start date
I find it hilarious that this guy (or some one posing to be this guy) is posting here when the only reason we'd want this to exist is to mercilessly mock it for being so horribly irrelevant XD
Get with the times bro, the 'concerned parents groups' moved on to video games. Keep up if your gonna pick a baseless 'think of the children' crusade to to take up.

I believe it's the same artist, looking at some of his other comics. Here is some of his other stuff. [http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp]sketch_zeppelin said:
Here's one for Halloween. [http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0058/0058_01.asp]
I don't know if those are the ones you got but they are the same as at least one of the ones my sister got one time. They don't tell the real story though; Hell is reserved for those who give out religious propaganda instead of candy on Halloween.
I wouldn't worry about the movie. I suspect that although the comic was taking itself seriously the movie is in no way trying to.

Just because it's played straight-faced doesn't mean it's not hilarious on purpose. Ever been to The Onion? The Kickstarter page's video feels very similar... for a reason.
Also, the fact that the guy references MST3K is very telling.
Okay, I hadn't heard of it before now, and from the panels shown, I had thought that it was some form of webcomic about DnD.
Now, I looked it up.
Is this...parody? Is this serious? Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
Either way, this is hilarious.

Good brother, good. You managed to deceive another pure soul. I hope you managed to corrupt her, too, by getting her to playoctafish said:
No, it's totally caught in the landslide and no escape from reality. Wait, I mean yeah, Jack Chick is real and apparently serious. And by the way, he knows more about science than you, I bet - he knows exactly why the dinosaurs went extinctDoclector said:
I am really looking forward to this. As a dm of many years, I found dark dungeons to be hilarious.
Then I realised it was not satire, it was serious religious propaganda.
Then it was even funnier.

As someone who had his parents burn his D&D books because of crap like Dark Dungeons, I can't really justify backing a film version, even if it is delivered in deadpan comic style.
Furthermore, I don't feel the source material is relevant enough today to garner enough viewers to make this film viable. Almost no one will get the context, and thus they won't get the humor. Even within the hobby most people today are unaware of the 70s-80s D&D hysteria.

Oh my God. It's that Jack Chick. It really is. I had a double take when I saw the topic and though "surely not. Who is this other famous Jack Chick I've never heard about".
Wow. I'm actually kind of tempted to contribute to this. Just because... why wouldn't you?
It would be too amusing.

Make a good video game about a vampire girl and you have my money.WanderingFool said:
I'm oddly interested in this. Maybe it's the fact that the movie is based on the only Jack Chick comic that I can honestly say is funny as hell. Maybe because I feel that contributing to this project would make for an odd story to tell my nephew when he's old enough. Or maybe it's because I goddamn love Oregon (and while Portland isn't my favorite place in Oregon, it's in my top five) and any excuse to drive up for a few days is a good excuse in my book.

Hi. I want to donate, but I'm curious, will you be directing? What (if any) experience do you have with filmmaking. Do you have any samples of you or your crews work we can see?
Sorry if this seems rude, I just like to get a sense of where my money is going
Regardless, looking forward to this!
