The Pit and the Pendulum

A CASTLE THAT TORTURE BUILT,
WHOSE DUNGEON WALLS STILL SWEATED BLOOD
A FAMILY TERRORIZED BY THE AWFUL SECRET THEY
SHARED-AND THE THING THAT SKRIEKED IN THE NIGHT
A BEAUTIFUL, YOUNG GIRL ENSLAVED BY UNHOLY
PASSIONS, SNARED IN A NET OF EVIL . .
AND THE MAN WHO CHALLENGED A NIGHTMARE
-AND DARED TO FACE ITS HORROR, ALONE
Here is the gripping film story of American International's "The Pit and the Pendulum,"
adapted from the bone-chilling tale written by America's master of shock literature,
Edgar Allen Poe
