This Movie Inspired D&D Hysteria! B-Movie Babylon Podcast

Dungeons & Dragons was a huge target for conservatives during the Satanic Panic craze of the '80s and Rona Jaffe's Mazes and Monsters (and the terrible Tom Hanks film based on the book) helped fuel the fire. Join me in today's B-Movie Babylon podcast episode as we talk about the tragic true story of Dallas Egbert III (who didn't actually die playing D&D...) and how an absolutely dreadful book and film helped fuel mass hysteria!
