H minus 12: The Bloody Pit of Horror

On this fifth day of December in the year of our Lord sixteen hundred and forty-eight, by the power vested in us by our noble sovereign, this tribunal of Artena sentences you, the Crimson Executioner, to death. You will die by one of the very instruments you devised to torture and kill your innocent victims. You dared to take into your own hands the laws of both God and man. You set yourself up as both judge and executioner. You caused inhuman suffering, and took life not from any sense of justice, but from hatred and self-gratification. You showed no mercy to your victims, and no mercy will be shown to you.



A photographer and his models go to an old, abandoned castle to shoot covers for horror novels. The castle turns out to be inhabited by a lunatic who believes himself to be the reincarnated spirit of a 17th-century executioner.
