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 actorTravis Anderson (Mickey Hargitay) who thinks he´s the reincarnation of a 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 as his former fiancée, 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"!
