SUMMARY: In the sixteenth century, Francis Barnard travels to Spain to clarify the strange circumstances of his sister's death after she had married the son of a cruel Spanish Inquisitor.
mod L says: note that, despite sharing a title with The Pit and the Pendulum (1991), these movies are NOT related except in that they're both based on the Poe story. Loosely. Very loosely.

slept in on a Sunday thanks to blackout curtains
drank out of an Edward Gorey mug
wore last night’s Killstar t-shirt until I bathed behind a Gashycrumb Tinies shower curtain
queued a list of male goth characters (check out the female one)
listened to dark wave
read a murder mystery (A Room Full of Bones)
currently watching classic horror (The Pit and the Pendulum) with fam

This red gown was first worn by an extra in the 1952 film At Sword’s Point. Because it was worn by an extra, there is a good possibility that the gown originated from an earlier production, though this has yet to be determined or spotted. The costume was worn again on Barbara Steele as Elizabeth Bernard Medina in the 1961 film The Pit and the Pendulum. The gown was seen the very next year in Jack and the Giant Killer on Anna Lee as Lady Constance.
