For this Halloween edition of the Women, Trans, and Gender Diverse Gamers Club, join us for a special screening of Iron Lung (2026), based on the indie horror videogame of the same name.
In Iron Lung, a convict is made to pilot a submarine through an ocean of blood to buy his freedom.
Released earlier this year, Iron Lung was written, edited, produced, directed by and starring Mark Fischbach, aka Markiplier, a YouTuber famous known for his "Let's Play" videos of horror games. The film was a financial success, making $51.2 million in box office sales off the back of a $5 million budget.
We encourage attendees to play the 2022 indie game Iron Lung ahead of this session and invite you to stay for a post-screening discussion on adaptations of videogames for film and TV.
