A cursed board game, a goth girl, and evil that needs new players. Short film, long nightmares.
Shelby, an awkward goth girl, simply cannot measure up to Nina, a trailer blonde. One ordinary day, Shelby finds an occult game, unaware that it is the incarnation of evil. She steals the game from the depraved Victor, not realizing that, without it, he will die. Kahldir, the spectral host of the game has plans for these two players and Nina that will take them deeper into the realm of a paranormal reality. Who will win?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Richard Bluth shot this in 2009 but it barely surfaced online until horror YouTubers resurrected it in the 2020s.
This is pure '00s DIY horror—think Evil Dead fan films meets Jumanji by way of a Hot Topic clearance rack.
