I insist that you leave my castle immediately

In 1965, former Mr Universe (and ex husband of Jayne Mansfield) Mickey Hargitay, starred as The Crimson Executioner, a reincarnated nobleman (who may or may not be the Marques De Sade.. this point is unclear).

Ironically, he himself was executed for torturing too many people to death in his murder castle and also not wearing a shirt. Now he's back in the form of an ex muscle man, who also doesn't like wearing a shirt. What happens when a bunch of cute models randomly show up to do a fun horror novel cover shoot? Nothing good, which is good fun for us.

BLOODY PIT OF HORROR is what would happen if HOSTEL was an episode of 60s TV BATMAN! - It is weird, trashy, and beautiful. Also expect a bunch of henchmen dressed like sailors, in pants which are so tight it should be illegal, because it’s the 60’s and that’s just how it goes.

Mickey is beyond wonderful here, and our love for him and this movie cannot properly be expressed. It fills the BLOODY PIT OF HORROR in our souls.
