Directed by Massimo Pupillo, 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 residing in the castle is demented actor Travis Anderson (Mikey Hargitay) who thinks he's the reincarnation of 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 (Louise Barrett) as his former fiancée, his already unhinged mind 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!" One of the most beloved kitsch classics from the Golden Age of Italian Horror.
