1 corrected entry
Directed by: Roger Corman
Starring: Vincent Price, John Kerr, Barbara Steele, Luana Anders
Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth Medina starts to open her coffin you see her hand reach out and grab the side edge but in the next shot her hand is gone.
Don Nicholas Medina: Do you know where you are, Bartolome? I'll tell you where you are. You are about to enter Hell, Bartolome, hell... The netherworld.The infernal region, The Abode of the Damned... The place of torment. Pandemonium. Abbadon. Tophet. Gehenna. Naraka. THE PIT... And the pendulum.
Correction: The height of the blade is supposed to keep changing, getting a little closer to the victim with each succeeding swing. If it did not change, what would be the point?
