A dungeon is a secluded place, often underground, where criminals or innocent victims alike are (usually) chained to a wall or ceiling and are subjected to corporeal punishment or, ahem, "questioning". Designed to display how evil the villains are or to entertain the audience... or both. Depending on the setting, expect the torturer to be a thug, a Dominatrix, a Torture Technician or an Exalted Torturer. Common in medieval settings and spy stories. Expect our heroes to escape from one at least once, even in video games where they are strong enough to beat down the guards when you finally fight them. Unless it's that kind of story, in which case escape is impossible but probably not wanted anyway. The heroes may occasionally be thrown into the dungeon because they are falsely accused of a dangerous crime. If so, expect a jailbreak attempt. Compare Torture Cellar, for more modern examples. Only loosely related to Dungeon Crawling, where "Dungeon" refers to a monster-filled area in Tabletop Games or Video Games. An interesting fun fact is that technically, the use of "dungeon" for a castle's prison is a misnomer, albeit one that's got into the dictionary by sheer age. A "donjon" was originally the main building of a castle. When gunnery made castles militarily obsolete they were used as prisons, until "dungeon" became just a fancy word for a prison. The association with torture chambers is self explanatory. Most of the time, the Man in the Iron Mask is in a dungeon. |

A feature in Crusader Kings and its sequel. For obvious reasons, locking people up there tends to lower their opinion of you. Furthermore, locking people up without reason or legal justification will lower other peoples' opinion of you, and if they hold land, may trigger a revolt. | |

Alfred J. Kwak: Happens to Alfred far too many times to count, most commonly after being wrongfully accused of a crime, to the point that you could make a drinking game out of it. It even gets lampshaded in the song "In De Val" ("Trapped") on one of the soundtrack albums, where Herman van Veen wonders "do barred windows like ducks, perhaps?" | |

In the Dungeon Keeper games, you are encouraged to build a dungeon in your dungeon. that is, a dungeon of this kind inside the "heroes come here to kill monsters" kind of dungeon. From there you can either leave them to starve to death (and eventually turn into skeletal minions) or you can throw them into a torture chamber, which allows you to gain information, sway them to your side, or simply amuse yourself. | |

Harry Potter averts the concept of Dungeons. Some Hogwarts dungeons are classically dungeon-ey, and some serve as Potions classes (mind you, this setting is dangerous if the potions being brewed there may be explosive if not done correctly). House Slytherin even has their dorms down there. Note that most Real Life high schools have the chemistry lab(s) on the uppermost floor of the building. | |

This happens to Elsa near the end of Frozen (2013) after Hans brings her back to the castle. Notably, it is her dungeon that she is locked in, as Elsa is the queen. She escapes easily using her ice powers. There was also a Cut Song called "Life's Too Short (reprise)", which was a Dark Reprise of both "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" and the also-cut song "Life's Too Short", sung by Elsa in the dungeon and Anna while she was freezing to death in the castle. | |

Most castles in A Song of Ice and Fire have this. Many have their own flavor to add as well. Here are a few: The black cells in the Red Keep, where Qyburn gets a little too happy with his scientific pursuits. The sky cells in the Eyrie are a weird example. They have fresh air, the most beautiful view you could imagine, and the opportunity to escape whenever you wish - because the missing fourth wall opens over thousands of feet of empty space. The floor is inclined slightly to the empty space, and if you spend too long there, you'll go insane. The ruling house of the Dreadfort, the Boltons, really love flaying people, so you can probably guess what goes on down there. As a bonus, we get inside the head of a character who spends a year enjoying the finest treatment the Boltons have to offer. He doesn't fare well. Casterly Rock has cells that are literally just suits of armor. When the rats start gnawing on your toes, all you can do is scream. It's even worse than that. Jaime doesn't call them cells — he calls the oubliettes. As in, the idea is to put someone in one, forget about them, and never come back. |

In the original Prince of Persia, the eponymous Prince is locked by the Evil Vizier Jaffar in the palace's dungeon at the beginning of the game in order to be kept out of the way from Jaffar's goal to marry the princess, who loves the eponymous Prince. From there begins the Prince's time limited Save the Princess quest (beginning with the Prince escaping from the dungeon through a fragile floor). In the SNES version of the game, the Prince is tortured by Jaffar's guards before being dragged to his cell. | |

7-Second Riddles: One common plot involves characters being locked up in dungeons or basements and having to escape with one of the means provided by the riddle. Usually, this means picking from one of several doors and determining which one is safest. | |

While Diablo III involves plenty of dungeon-crawling, the prime example of this trope occurs in the final part of Act I, where you have to storm the Halls of Agony, King Leoric's old torture chambers, in order to find and rescue the Stranger you found at the impact zone of the Fallen Star, who has been taken there by Maghda and her Dark Coven. Since this is the Diablo universe, the Coven has turned the Halls into a site for Human Sacrifice and Cold-Blooded Torture of their many victims, with all the horrificness that this implies, and the place is loaded with undead and demons for you to kill in addition to the cultists, as well as the ghosts of those who were put through hell and executed down there back when Leoric was still alive and insane. | |

The Inquisition scene in History of the World Part I would be a subversion. Fairly standard dungeon: people in shackles, getting tortured, etc.... And then everyone breaks into song. | |

The Inquisitors of Om in Omnia, as described in Small Gods, were employed to torture confessions out of alleged heretics. They did their work in the dungeons beneath the streets of Omnia. To the Inquisitors, though, it was just another job, not something done for pleasure or sadism. | |

You Can't Do That on Television had a recurring sketch with one of the kids in this situation (no torture shown, of course). The commandant from the Firing Squad sketches often offered them freedom, but some terrible price. | |

Lord Vetinari, Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, uses the dungeons under the palace to great effect as a deterrent and, naturally, as a punishment. However, as revealed in Guards! Guards!, he has made certain preparations in the event that an usurper throws him into the dungeons. The deepest, darkest dungeon has a door covered in chains, deadbolts and locks ... and they're all on the inside. | |
