SKULLDUGGERY

A group of young adults working at a costume rental store also collaborate on a fantasy role-playing game. One of the players, a young man named Adam (Thom Haverstock), is the descendant of a long line of men who are all cursed by the devil. While working at the community college theater performance, a strange magician appears and puts a curse on Adam, forcing him to remember the fate of his ancestors and to make him believe that he really is a warlock.

Increasingly, Adam is unable to determine the difference between fantasy and reality and believes that, as a warlock, he is on a quest to kill various people. As the bodies pile up, the local police are baffled and no one suspects that Adam is a deranged serial killer being commanded to kill by the devil.

After having played the role-playing game with instructions to kill all the members of the Apostles of Hell before they kill him, Adam attends a costume party hosted by a man named Dr. Evil, who wants Adam to join his cult and also kill most of the party guests. When the police figure out that Adam is the killer, they corner and shoot him in a factory, but his body disappears and leaves a puppet in its place.

The survivors play a game with a suit of knight's armor seated in Adam's place. The armor comes to life and kills their dungeon master. Upon looking at the body, they learn that their dungeon master was Dr. Evil, and by extension, the devil.

Adam is cornered and shot by police, but his body vanishes and a puppet is found in his place. The surviving players later find their dungeon master killed by a suit of armor that comes to life, revealing the dungeon master was Dr. Evil, the devil.

The ending blurs the boundary between the fantasy game and reality, suggesting the supernatural curse persists beyond Adam’s supposed death. With the dungeon master revealed as the devil himself, the film delivers a final, surreal twist that leaves the surviving characters—and the audience—questioning whether the game ever truly ends or if the cycle of occult manipulation continues. The puppet substitution and animated armor reinforce the film’s commitment to campy, psychotronic horror where nothing is ever as straightforward as it seems.
