The Bloody Pit Of Horror (1965)

A photographer goes, with a bevy of lovelies to do a photoshoot and get mixed up with a madman possessed by another madman - The Scarlet Executioner.
Now I like eurohorror a lot. I also have a hankering for low budget exploitation films. I also enjoy those films that are "so bad they're good". But there are times when you just have to hold your hands up and say, "That was pure mince." and this unfortunate flick is one of them. Starring Mr Jayne Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, this misfires on all accounts. But I will say, it was late on a Sunday and I was a bit snoozy, all the naughtiness had been cut and I was sober. Possibly in the right frame of mind, watching with like-minded chums, this could be enjoyable. Or it just may be a lot of old toss. I wouldn't bet against the latter.
