Welcome to episode 8 of your new favourite Video nasty review-pod – a special bonus length super edition as we arrive screaming at the 1970’s - and ohhh and what nasty fun doth await the punter and his/her popcorn (hopefully not confused with the bag of vomit halfway through the third reel – bag supplied at every cinema from the Sick ‘n’ Mix counter.

Shot on genuine Witch-Trial locations in castles and courts of the 1700s and with horrifically rusty torture equipment being plucked from museums and waved about the place, you’ll come for the glorious performances by Udo Keir and Herbert Lom…but you’ll stay for tricorn hats and tongue removal… Rated V for violence (a certificate they just made up…) yes, it’s our most lavish and lecherous VHS yet!
