Something Weird Bloody Pit of Horror


Seeking a gothic background for a horror photo shoot, five sexy cover girls and a handful of photographers break into what they assume is an uninhabited castle and are soon taking a series of macabre stills in its dungeon. But — surprise! — residing in the castle is demented actor Travis Anderson (MICKEY HARGITAY) who thinks he’s the reincarnation of The Crimson Executioner, a 17th century madman whose body is entombed in the castle’s iron maiden. And when Travis recognizes one of the models (LOUISE BARRETT) as his former fianc?e, his already unhinged mind completely snaps. Dressed in a bright red executioner’s costume, Travis promptly goes nuts and gleefully subjects the trespassers to a variety of bizarre and elaborately-conceived tortures: “The Crimson Executioner cries out for blood!” With its cheerful sadism, an abundance of near-nudity, and a wonderfully over-the-top performance by Mr. Hargitay, Bloody Pit of Horror is one of the most beloved kitsch classicks from the Golden Age of Italian Horror. Plus… it’s in “Psychovision”! – Something Weird
