Bloody Pit of Horror (Retro Cover Art + Postcard) (MOD) (DVD Movie)

Alpha Video Retrograde is an ever-growing collection of specially-selected films from our vast library on DVD, now in collectible retro-style packaging inspired by VHS cover art from that format's heyday! Every Alpha Video Retrograde title also includes a free collectible postcard.

This tale of torture and vengeance is based on the infamous writings of the Marquis de Sade. A group of photographers and models arrive at an Italian castle owned by a deranged ex-actor who is the reincarnation of the notorious medieval torturer, the Crimson Executioner. When he discovers that his ex-girlfriend is among the group, the enraged madman subjects them to his dungeon of torture. With scantily clad victims pleading for mercy as they face unendurable tortures, Bloody Pit of Horror is a titillating over-the-top European horror epic. Filmed in "Psychovision," it stars former "Mr. Universe" (and Jayne Mansfield's husband) Mickey Hargitay as the Crimson Executioner whose "...vengeance requires blood!"

The names in the credits of this Euro-trash classic have been anglicized to protect the guilty.
