He lured beautiful women to his torture-chamber and revelled in their agony. He was a homicidal maniac who lived to kill!
Bloody Pit of Horror (1965) centers on a group of models and their crew who enter an abandoned castle to stage a photoshoot. Unbeknownst to them, the fortress is home to a deranged recluse who believes himself to be the reincarnation of the sadistic Crimson Executioner. As the intruders fall prey to his elaborate tortures, the film unfolds as a lurid mix of gothic horror, camp excess, and pulp sadism.

And here it is, the world’s greatest Italian homoerotic torture film starring a giant fake spider.
