Add to a movie listThe Blood Demon or Die Schlangengrube und das Pendel, also known as The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism, The Snake Pit and the Pendulum, and Castle of the Walking Dead, is a 1967 German horror film directed by Harald Reinl and starring Christopher Lee, Karin Dor, and Lex Barker. The plot is based on the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe and concerns the saga of Count Regula, played by Christopher Lee, who, after being drawn and quartered for murdering twelve maidens, returns to life seeking revenge.
The film was advertised in Rhode Island newspapers as Crimson Demon due to a practice at the time of deleting the word "Blood" from film titles.
Synopsis
The plot chronology is set in the 18th century and the probable story location is Germany. Baroness Lilian von Brabant and her lawyer Roger Mont Elise receive an invitation to the Blood Castle, in Sander Valley, where a large inheritance is awaiting the baroness. Both decide to go; the Baroness because of the inheritance and Roger seeing a chance to get more information regarding his birth. Upon arriving at the valley, they meet the monk Fabian with a proclivity for profanities who offers to assist them in finding their way to the castle, the place where, forty years ago, Count Regula had murdered twelve maidens, in an attempt to use their blood to achieve immortality. However he was one maiden short of his goal, and he was drawn, quartered and beheaded for his crime. As he was dying, the Count threatened revenge against those responsible for his death.Actors
