Synopsis:
"He was a homicidal maniac who LIVED
TO KILL!
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 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 classics from the golden
age of Italian Horror. Plus...it's in "Psychovision"!"

My oppinion:
This was a lot of fun! I feel the synopsis
above tells the exact story of this movie. It's by no means
a good movie in the right meaning of the word; it's more in
the "so bad it's good" category. You'll get lots of bad acting,
especially from the killer. He's got some incredibly funny
comments and especially near the ending when he keeps talking
about his "perfect body" (a couple of which you can read in
the quotes
section). Some other ingrediences are some bad special effects,
like the incredibly bad (and funny) giant spider, lots of
torture action in the castles dungeon and a nice sleazy feeling
through it all. I really recommend this movie to all fans
of "bad" cinema and all I can say is I was very entertained
by this one!
