In other news, I’m over at Galactic Journey again today and review the 1967 West German horror movie The Snake Pit and the Pendulum, which is known under a bunch of alternate titles such as The Blood Demon, The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (this one makes no sense, since the main villain is a Count, not a doctor) or Castle of the Walking Dead internationally.
