The Pit and the Pendulum (1961)

In the haunting shadows of mystery and death, Francis Barnard embarks on a chilling journey from London to Spain upon hearing the disturbing news of his sister Elizabeth Barnard Medina's death. The enigmatic castle of her husband Nicholas Medina, a lineage marred by the blood-curdling legacy of the Spanish Inquisition's most savage torturer, becomes his ominous destination. Upon his unannounced arrival, he is greeted by the eerie hospitality of Nicholas's sister, Catherine. As the castle's chilling secrets begin to unfurl over a tense dinner, Francis learns of the gruesome family history; a tale of childhood trauma where Nicholas bore witness to the horrific torture and murder of his adulterous mother and uncle at the hands of his own father, Sebastian Medina. The sudden appearance of the family's confidant, Doctor Charles Leon, reveals yet another ghastly detail - Elizabeth's death was not due to a blood disease as Nicholas had claimed, but a heart attack spawned by sheer terror, following her visit to the castle's torture chamber. As whispers of Elizabeth potentially being buried alive echo through the castle's stone corridors, a series of spine-chilling events begin to unfold. Nicholas, haunted by his past and plagued by the eerie happenings, suspects his servants Maximillian and Maria. Yet, Francis, fueled by suspicion and desperation, becomes convinced that it is Nicholas who is responsible for Elizabeth's horrifying fate. In the labyrinth of deception and fear within the Medina castle, Francis finds himself entrapped, struggling to uncover the truth behind his sister's demise.
