"Today, 5 December, in the year of Our Lord 1648, this tribunal of justice condemns you, John Stewart, the Crimson Executioner, for heinous crimes." "You shall die by the same instruments of torture with which you killed many innocent victims." "You killed on the insane presumption that you were the supreme judge of human behaviour." "You killed out of an insane and absurd hatred which overpowered you and made you believe that you were the new avenger of the human race while you were just an insane murderer." "You struck your victims with cold savagery, torturing them." "You'll never kill me!" "I'll break out and get my revenge." "You can't imprison my power." "I will return!" "I'll get my revenge!" "May this seal forever entomb your body and your evil soul." "Let no one break it because you are damned forever, just as these dungeons are damned." "As is this castle which has witnessed inhuman horrors." "For centuries it will remain in isolation for as long as the blood of your victims lingers in people's memories." "THE CRIMSON EXECUTIONER" "Not a bad castle." " Just what we were after." "We'll get some terrific shots." " Just what we want." "It looks so gloomy." "Do you think anyone lives here?" "Not even a hermit would live here!" "I think it's the ideal place to live." "Can't you see how peaceful and quiet it is?" "Live here?" "Not me!" "Stop it, you two!" " I want to see inside." "Are you tired, dear?" "It's just..." "Something doesn't feel right." "Suzy..." " Stop it!" "Just one kiss." " No, they'll see us." " Okay." "Anyone there?" "This time our dear editor can forget about gloomy settings for his book covers." "Anyone there?" "If no one's there, it's empty." "Miss Obvious has spoken." "My name's Nancy!" "No one's there." " Anyone there?" "It seems deserted." "Damn!" "They should have told us no one lives here." "Let's get in anyway." "We just have to scale that wall." "Sure, but it's high." "Any takers?" "Okay, okay." "I'll get you in, folks." "You'll see." "Perry will soon have us inside." "Yes, for three years." "This is trespassing." "Careful, Perry!" "Parks!" "Your lead actor has earned a double whisky." "He made it." " Yes, quite a performance." "You next book should have a scene like that." "More action!" "You may come in." " Well done, Perry!" "Let's go." "Come on." "You're in luck, Parks." "It's an ideal setting for your work." "Perry, I don't like this place." "You Hawaiians are far too superstitious." "Raoul?" "Raoul?" "You idiot!" "Must you always play jokes on me?" "You don't scare me." "Deserted castles are full of skeletons." "Deserted?" "There isn't a speck of dust here." "Who are you?" "Why are you here?" "I apologise." "We were sure there was no one in the castle." "Is the master of the house in?" "Would you mind taking us to him?" "Follow me." "Let's go." "No, you wait here." "Stop there." "Why did you break into my home?" "We thought the castle was uninhabited." "I don't like being disturbed." "Forgive us." "I'm a publisher." "My name is Parks, Daniel Parks." "I'm looking for particular settings for my book covers." "That's not my concern." "This is one of my books." "I do horror series." "He told you to stay here." "I'm preparing a new series on Skeletric's Revenge." "I don't like intruders." "Leave my castle immediately." "Please try to understand." "We've been on the road for days and the crew is tired." "I live here so as not to see people." " I'll pay you 500 pounds." "You're annoying me, Mr. Parks." "I apologise for what's happened." "Why are you being so good?" "On your feet." "We have to leave." "The owner doesn't like visitors." "What?" "No, chief." "It's time we stopped driving around." "One castle's too modern, one's too old..." "Now we're not welcome." "There must be somewhere." "So we have to leave the castle and go away?" "I'm tired of driving, chief." "I'm just as annoyed but we're not wanted here." "We have to leave." "Don't leave anything behind." "Edith..." "Wait!" "I'm not usually inhospitable." "Actually, I apologise for my rudeness." "It wasn't intentional." "There's nowhere to stay around here." "You may stay the night but leave first thing tomorrow." "Thank you, sir." "I knew you'd be understanding." "May we take photos?" "Very well, but be discreet about it." "I treasure my peace and quiet." "My servants will show you where you can work." "Okay, folks." "Let's get to it." "On the double!" "Dermott, check out the locations." "Edith, go with him." "Stay away from the cellars." "They're out of bounds." "Very well." "Come on, Dermott, let's go." "We deserve a bonus." "A photo with this will be terrific." "It was my idea." " Here are the hampers." "See what we found, chief?" "We start in 15 minutes." " Just perfect for the ending of Skeletric." "Yes, it looks fine." " Okay, but let's hurry." "I'll go to the girls, chief." " No, I will." "Excellent." "Pig!" " You scared us, chief." "Come on, I'm like family." "Just pretend I'm not here." "Turn around." "We have to get ready." "You have 15 minutes for lunch, then we start." "The others are ready." "You can look now." "Edith, see that everything's ready." "We can't waste time." "Enjoy your meal." " Thanks." "Is there any wine in this?" " No, but I know where to get some." "I've found the cellars." "Come on, let's go." "I'll be right back." " Come on." "You know, Perry, I'd love to have a castle like this." "Actually, it kind of gives me the creeps." "What do you expect me to say, next to a skeleton!" "Don't make a noise." "This way." "Come on!" "Let's go." "Hold it there..." "Let's see..." "No, no, don't move." "Now one with the other camera." "Pass it over, please." "Don't move." "Hold it there." "Be patient, darling." "We've almost finished." "Well done!" "I'd had enough." " You looked dead." "Really?" " Yes, you were terrific." "My mom will be so scared when she sees this photo." "Get changed." "It's your turn, Suzy." "Yes, but where's Perry?" "He's on too." "Here!" "Here I am." "Always ready to kill pretty girls." "Yes, but hurry up." " Okay, okay." "You're always ducking off." " For the common good." "Shall I open it?" "Lend me a knife." "Thanks." "Kinuyo, what's wrong?" "I'm just a bit homesick." "Hurry up with those photos!" "Let's not waste time." "The pistol, Dermott." "Come on, stop it." "Too heavy." "Let's try it with the sword, Annie." "It's as light as a feather." "I'll show you." "Look." "Damn, I can't pull it out." "It must be rusty." "Don't just stand there, give me a hand." "Forget it." "Just lift it up naturally." "It's not heavy, anyway." "Look." "Like this." "Give me a hand, please." "Still in one piece?" " Yes, yes." "I'll leave it up to you, Annie." "I trust you." "Ready?" "Hold it there." "Just a minute..." "Yes..." "Put your head down." "You've been sentenced to death!" "At last!" "The axe..." "Give it to me." "Hold it there." "Now, Nancy, give me the feeling of a cat." "No, that's a lovesick cat." "I want a wild cat!" "That's not a cat!" "I want a sense of aggression and agility." "No, no, Nancy!" "You'll never do it." "Let's try something else." "I have an idea." "Raise your leg." "Go on, raise it." "That's it." "More." "Give me a sense of lightness." "That's it." "Perfect." "No, not like that!" "You have to stay up." "That's it, hold it there..." "Keep that arm up!" "Okay, arm, head..." "Everything's fine." "Don't move." "Keep that gorgeous little foot raised." "I said raised." "I can't!" "Don't move, Nancy." "You have to do it." "Don't move!" "Keep you balance..." "What are you writing?" "Another novel." "I'm trying to scare my readers." "This is yours too?" " Yes." "I like the way you write." " That's nice of you." "I've always been in love with you, Rick." "It's true, you know." "I'm not kidding." "Forget it, Nancy." "You deserve a better man than me." "May I keep this?" " Sure." "I'll be right back." "Can I have a 5 minutes break?" " No, I need a hand." "Put those there." "What do you want?" "I'd like to see to your master." " He's not to be disturbed." "Tell him..." " Impossible." "I must say:" "this is strange hospitality." "What's the owner like?" "I don't know." "He stayed in the shadows." "Did you notice the windows?" "They're all barred." "He must be a maniac if I'm any judge of men." "I've met lots of strange people." "Why do you still write horror?" "Why not go back to journalism?" "You had quite a name." "Maybe it's laziness or I just can't be bothered." "I had other aspirations, but..." "It's easier to sell this stuff." "Forgive me, Edith, but why did you want to see the owner?" "Curiosity." "Female curiosity." "So, can I go?" " Only for 5 minutes, Raoul." "Okay." "Come on, Suzy." " Where to?" "Let's go." " Where?" " Come on!" "We're ready." "Everyone step back now." "Don't move, Perry." "Okay, hold it there." "Here we go." "I knew it." "I knew something was going to happen." "I had this feeling, like a premonition." "Didn't you hear screaming?" " Nonsense." "Come on." "Where to?" " You'll see." "What is it, Raoul?" "It's like an ancient sarcophagus." "Look, it's empty." "Let go of me, I'm scared." "Come on, Kinuyo." "Come away from here." "No, I needn't inform my master." "He always knows what goes on in the castle and he asks that you remain calm." "The rope is very worn." "We should have checked it." "What are you going to do?" "I have no idea." "Come with me." "Even the owner advises calm." "We'll call the police tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" " Of course." "After all, it was just a tragic accident." "Besides, the town's far away." " I don't like mysteries." "Be frank with me." "I was thinking that..." "Try to understand." "This is costing me money." "Work comes before everything." "Girls, we must finish before dawn.." "With poor Perry there?" " I know, dear." "I'm more upset than you." "You know I have a big heart." "I don't." "What should I know?" "That work is a mission to me." "I work to live not to risk my life." "I'll pay you 20 pounds." " Is that all we're worth?" "30." "I'll do it." " Me too." " So, we're agreed, then." "Where's Suzy?" " I think she's with Raoul." "Typical." "They always disappear at the wrong time." "Let's not waste more time." "And I thought I'd seen it all but there's always something to learn." "Rick, look at this." " What is it?" "It's the negative of the photo of the accident." "Poor Perry." "What a horrible death." "What's this?" "There's a strange mark near the door." "It looks like a person." " Yes, Rick." "I noticed it too." "But I didn't want to believe it." "It looks like someone wearing a hood." "Will anything show up?" " Well, I don't know." "We'll see." "I've done my best." "After all, it's a tiny detail." "This is the maximum enlargement." "It won't be very clear." "Right, we're not getting anywhere." "It's hardly visible." "Could the negative be damaged?" " I doubt it." "May I see it?" "I heard about the accident." "A truly horrific death." "You can't see anything." "It was out of focus." "You may not believe me, gentlemen but I'm afraid I know... what this might be about." "Have you ever heard of the Crimson Executioner?" "Who's the Crimson Executioner?" "He was a maniac, a murderer." "He was executed and buried in his own castle." "And this is the Crimson Executioner's castle." "It had been empty for centuries before I came." "No one has dared to set foot in here." "A cursed place." "Ideal for me." "I wanted peace and solitude." "Maybe what you photographed is his image." "Woe betide you in that case." "When they sealed his tomb, he swore he'd be back to get his revenge." "He had amazing spiritual and physical power obsessed with an ideal of purity." "He's still there, buried in the dungeons." "Only a seal protects us from his terrible power imprisoned within." "The curse..." "I see you know each other." " I haven't had the pleasure." "This is the first time I've seen the lady." "You must excuse me." "I'm a creature of habit and it's time for me to retire." "Good night." "Calm down." "You're very tired." "Too much has happened today." "Please, go to Kinuyo." "She needs someone to comfort her." "Do you think it's too daring?" "But they look good." " Has anyone seen Suzy?" "Edith may be looking for her." "She left a while ago." "You'll drive my readers crazy." "What about this?" "Your legs are too beautiful to cover them." "They've destroyed your peace and quiet." "You won't escape the Crimson Executioner's revenge!" "I'm curious to see the executioner." " I think the owner's a nut." "You'd believe anything too, if you lived here." "According to the legend, this is where they entombed him." "Is that a sarcophagus?" " No, it's an instrument of torture." "The famous Iron Maiden." "This was certainly no accident." "Come on." "Just as I feared." "The rope was cut." "You know what this means, don't you?" "It's murder." "Two murders." "Why?" "Who would do this?" "That's what I don't understand." "And where's Raoul?" "Raoul?" " No, I don't think he's involved in this." "But he might know something if he's still alive." "Here, take my car and go to the nearest police station." "And hurry." " Don't worry." "And you?" "What will you do?" "It's not wise to stay here." " Yes, but we must first find Raoul." "I'll manage somehow." " I'll try to be quick." "We're the ones who have to work." "Everyone's disappeared." "What lovely girls!" "See if you like this idea." "Don't let on but Suzy's been killed." "What?" " So, do you like it?" "Yes, sure." "I sent Dermott to get the police." "Don't tell the girls." " Who did it?" "Okay?" "What will you do?" " Get to the bottom of it." "Wait for me here." "What do you want?" " Your master." "He won't see anyone." " I must see him." "I said no." "Edith, why are you here?" "I'll tell you the truth, Rick." "Recognise me?" " Yes, it's your portrait." "So you do know the owner." " We were going to be married." "Travis was a great actor." "Travis Anderson." "Didn't he vanish a while ago?" " He abandoned his work and me too." "He was a strange man I could never fathom." "He avoided any contact with people." "Even with me he was distant." "He never even kissed me." "Yet, I'm sure he loved me." "I'll never understand why he left me without a word." "That's why I'm after him." "Now that I've found him I'll demand an explanation." "I wasn't just being curious." " Edith, let's go." "Come with me." "Where's Kinuyo?" " She wanted to be alone." "We must get out of here." " Why?" "Run, Edith!" "Let's join the others." "We must stay together." "Why?" "I don't understand." "Be careful, Rick!" "If you come close, you'll be killed." "Go away, Rick." "There's nothing you can do." "I'm condemned." "There's nothing you can do." "These wires are a trap." "They're connected to the arrows above you." "You just have to touch them and the arrows will fire." "This spider... has poisonous legs." "When they touch me, I'll die." "Don't do it!" "Careful, Rick!" "It's a trap." "If you touch the wires, you could die." "If you just brush against them..." "Careful, Rick!" "It's over for me." "It's over for all of us." "Stop, Rick!" "It's no use." "She was right." "It was too late." "Edith, run to Parks." "Go!" "Leave the castle." "No, Rick, I won't leave you." " I said go!" "Go!" "Don't worry about me." "Dermott is coming with the police." "Open up!" "It's no use." "We're locked in." "Parks !" "What's going on?" " Where are the others?" "I don't know." "Don't panic." "Calm down." "Go and tell Rick we must find a way out." "Rick, we can't get out." "Calm down, Edith." "We'll get out somehow." "Stay there." "Don't touch me." "Kinuyo is dead." "You did it, Travis." "Now I know." "You're a murderer, a monster!" "You... no longer mean anything to me." "Although I missed you when I abandoned the world." "I was forced to drop out of society." "Humanity is composed of inferior beings, deformed and physically defective who could have corrupted my perfect body." "I have sought refuge in this castle to avoid being infected with common sentiments." "And love, too, is a sentiment." "I had to flee from it." "And that is why, Edith" "I abandoned you." " You are just a madman." "You're selfish and love only yourself." "You're wrong, Edith." "Because of you, last night I had a moment of weakness." "It happened when I saw you" "and I told you and your friends to stay." "But I was wrong!" "Only one person has never shown weakness." "The Crimson Executioner." "Yes, he hated humanity just as I hate it." "Look at him." "The perfect body that was preserved intact throughout the centuries in the dungeons." "I'm just like him." "It's up to me to continue his mission of vengeance." "This is what destiny ordained." "We're the same." "Now... that you've violated his tomb and broken the seal that imprisoned his power his will permeates this castle." "And his thirst for vengeance lives again in me." "I have already begun my long and painful vengeance." "Your friends... will fall one by one." "They're in the dungeons and death awaits them." "And now..." "Look!" "I'm the new Crimson Executioner!" "You, too, will pay." "Stop, Travis!" "Come back!" "Don't you contaminate me with your gaze." "I'm the Crimson Executioner." "The executioner is back and he'll torture you... to death!" "Far worse tortures await you." "Long and painful." "Your sacrilege has awakened the Crimson Executioner." "His vengeance will strike at everyone!" "Rick too!" "He will die." "What do you want from us?" "Let us go." "You're a madman!" "Come to your senses." "Stop this madness." "You're the owner of this castle, not the Crimson Executioner." "I am!" "Help." "Get me out of here, I beg you!" "The Crimson Executioner devised the "cold water torture"" "for creatures just like you." "The Crimson Executioner lives again." "No one will be shown mercy." "Death will put an end to your suffering." "Where are you?" " Don't worry about me." "Look after the others." "I'm being held by Anderson." "Be careful." "He's dangerous." "He's mad." "He thinks he's the Crimson Executioner." "Stop him, or he'll kill us all." "How can I get to you?" " Watch out!" "What more do you want now?" "You're a madman." "A crazy murderer." "You're a fanatic." "A dangerous madman." "What are you doing?" "Fire will purify your body and your soul, you impure being!" "No, stop!" "Stay away!" "Stay away from me." "I don't want to die like this." "Come to your senses." "Embrace Death's lover." "Embrace her poisonous nails." "Let me go!" " Come on." "Embrace her." "Yes, she's Death's lover." "Embrace her!" "Run, Annie, run!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "No, Travis..." "You, too, Edith, will pay!" "Let me go!" "Stop this." "Help!" "Let me go!" "You're crazy." "Stop!" "You've woken the Executioner." "Now you'll suffer atrociously." "It's done." "The writer is dead." "You've killed Rick too." "No, that's impossible!" "Murderer!" "Stop it, Travis!" "Come to your senses, Travis!" "The Executioner!" "No!" "I'm the Crimson Executioner!" "That's impossible." "I killed him myself." "I saw him die." "I killed him!" "It wasn't me you hit, but poor Raoul's body." "Your arrow hit him." "I tricked you." "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "I said kill him!" "Watch out, Rick!" "My perfect body... poisoned by Death's lover." "My... pure body... has been contaminated." "The body... of the Crimson Executioner." "He was a homicidal maniac." "He thought he was the Crimson Executioner." "And, like him, he was obsessed with an impossible dream of absolute purity and uncontaminated beauty." "He decided to continue his spree of vengeance and death perhaps also because he'd discovered that he looked just like the real executioner entombed in these dungeons." "He looked like him..." "In his madness, Anderson has created him in his own likeness." "The Executioner has been dust for centuries." "Let's go, Rick." "Take me away from this castle." "It's been terrible." "I'll stop writing horrors." "One shouldn't play with death and emotions." "THE END" "English subtitles:" "Marina de Marchi  Mary Anne Slavich" "Transcribed and synched by:" "marooned2, CG, 2014"
