Bloody Pit of Horror Blu-ray

Severin Films has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Massimo Pupillo's thriller Bloody Pit of Horror (1965), starring Mickey Hargitay, Walter Brandi, Luisa Baratto, Rita Klein, and Alfredo Rizzo. The release will be available for purchase during Black Friday.

Label description: The most insane post-peplum psycho-sexual classic in Italian horror history just got even better: When the crew of a saucy photoshoot breaks into an abandoned castle, they will unleash the madness of the male-body-obsessed owner (muscleman Mickey Hargitay in the WTF? performance of his career) who is possessed by the vengeful spirit of a 16th century torturer. Walter Brandt (THE PLAYGIRLS AND THE VAMPIRE) and Femi Benussi (HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON) co-star in this hair-raising orgy of sadism -- also known as THE CRIMSON EXECUTIONER -- from director Massimo Pupillo (TERROR-CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE) and the screenwriters of KILL, BABY... KILL! with special effects by future Oscar winner Carlo Rambaldi (E.T.), now scanned in eye-stabbingly stunning 2K from the original uncut negative recently discovered in a Rome lab vault.
