I LOVED Deborah Foreman's performance in this! Just wish she had been completely stripped to her waist.Waxwork (1988)

Strange thinks happen in the local waxworks and its morbid exhibits, as visitors disappear without a trace. Whist taking a tour with friends, sweet, virtuous and innocent Sarah (Deborah Foreman) becomes mesmerised by the display of the Marquis de Sade and his misdeeds. And who’d have thunk, she gets sucked right into it the very next moment.
Her dreamy look is soon replaced by utter submission as she is splayed out for the whip of her new master. Although she goes through several states of disarray, only some light red lines on her back are presented as result of her chastisement.

Waxwork is pure 80s campiness, without being tasteless and with some interesting visuals. A pity that the de Sade sequence is a bit of a let-down.

Just found a better video of the execution scene from "Anne & Alet" -- this one has the branding scene with hot pliers as well as the original sound (the Vimeo clip in the previous posting had a music soundtrack instead):Thank you @MICHELE PATRI -- I was literally in the process of posting the same Vimeo link when yours appeared. This includes the entire (very gory!) execution scene, starting at 4:00 minutes in the video. We get to see the hand chopped off first, then a botched attempt to chop the head -- the hangman has to resort to sawing it off eventually. Repeat for Blonde #2. I've made some screencaps:

It's a historical case, incidentally -- here is a 19th century book illustration from Wikisource:

Barbaren II has massacred even more. Coupled with the incessant repetition of the 'X captures Y, Y runs away and captures X (or Z)' plot element it makes the series pretty worthless.Barbaren (2020)

The amount of historical details being butchered is almost as high as that of Roman legionnaires.

TV series "Romulus". I don't know what episode.
Very nice. Is that the prelude to the Rape of the Sabine Women, I wonder? I see from Wikipedia that the series was shot in Old Latin, which may be a first!View attachment 1246893
TV series "Romulus". I don't know what episode.
One of the last films of the great Paul Naschy. The great master of Spanish terror along with other pioneers such as Narciso Ibañez Menta, Jess Franco, Soledad Miranda (Susan Korda), Chicho Ibañez Serrador... May they all rest in peace.
