When is the last time you had the chance to visit a torture chamber? Aptly named "scientific sadism", this pictorial from the August 1957 issue of TRUE MYSTERY, takes us on a guided tour of the Criminal Museum of Rome. Inside, all manner of delights await. For instance, the cure for a talkative girl is the "Women's Reins", put on like a muzzle with a protruding iron spike that was forced into the mouth. Or, how about the gizmo where the "culprit" was hung by the wrists and dragged along a minefield of spikes. Or, better yet, how about being drawn and quartered by either a team of horses or two trees bent over, then let loose. . . with the victim tied to each of them! An Italian beauty takes us through the terrifying exhibits, one by one! Aieeeeee!
