    I too like this movie a lot. Unfortunately, this DVD edition has been sourced from an edited Tv print of the movie. Magnum Video's long OOP VHS version (under the title TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR SADISM) is about 12 minutes longer than the DVD.

    Hopefully someone will put out an anamorphic widescreen uncut version someday. Until then, track down the Magnum tape and avoid this DVD. The picture quality on the DVD isn't great anyway.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly decent DVD transfer of atmospheric Euroshocker, January 14, 2004
    This review is from: Castle of the Walking Dead (DVD)
    Castle of the Walking Dead is the most common title given to this little-seen Christopher Lee Eurohorror, variously known as Blood Demon, The Snakepit and the Pendulum, and The Torture Room. I saw this as Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism on Screaming Yellow Theatre (WFLD-TV Chicago with the great Svengoolie hosting) late at night in the 1970s and it's been etched in my mind ever since. The story (extremely loosely based on Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum) is standard revenge-of-the-executed-warlock hokum, but this is definitely worth a look for Gothic horror/Euroshock fans for its rigorously grisly atmosphere and evocative Middle-European locations and production design/set decoration. The movie begins as Medieval occult practitioner Count Frederic Regula (Lee) is sentenced by judge Reinhold von Marienberg (Lex Barker) to be drawn and quartered for the murders of 12 virgins, but not before a spiked golden mask is thrust onto his face by a red-hooded executioner (reminiscent of the opening...

    5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE MOVIE! DRIPPING WITH ATMOSPHERE!!!, January 16, 2004

    This is an incredibly atmospheric horror movie...the forest coach ride to Regula's ruined castle is like a nightmare. Chrisptopher Lee is AWESOME, and his henchman is even creepier, if that's possible!! Turn off the lights and watch this late at night! I've heard of this movie for years, but never had the chance to see it....and now that I have, I was really surprised at how good it is!! A must-see for all horror fans!!
