Record number: 995 Title: The Conqueror Worm (1968) aka Matthew Hopkins: Witchfinder General aka Witchfinder-General Medium: Movie Actress: Hira Talfrey, unknown, Maggie Kimberly, Hilary Dwyer Description: This Vincent Price vehicle about a traveling witchfinder roaming during the English Civil War starts with Talfrey being led along by her bound-in-front wrists on the way to a gibbet outside of town. About 30 minutes later Price's assistant is shown trying to slap a confession out of a young woman who sits against the wall of a dungeon cell with her hands manacled over her head. Approximately 10 minutes after that, the witchfinder presides over a trial by water with two women among the participants. They are tied hand and foot and dunked over the side of a bridge; later they are hanged after their having floated is taken as a sign of their guilt. At about 1 hour and 10 minutes, Kimberly is tied in a narrow spreadeagle position to the upper rungs of a ladder which is then propped up next to a tall cross-shaped frame near which a large fire has been built. She is executed by being slowly lowered into the flames by ropes tied to the top of the ladder and slung over the frame. In the film's final scenes about 10 minutes later, Dwyer and her husband are tied hands-over-head to horizontal bars set into a dungeon wall. Dwyer is then tortured by being repeatedly stabbed in the back with a needle, in hopes of convincing her husband to confess. Then she is laid face-down on a stone slab and it is implied that she is bound in preparation for being branded with a cross-shaped iron, but the bonds aren't shown, except for a rope around her neck. |

Record number: 6198 Title: Cry of the Banshee (1970) Medium: Movie Actress: Pamela Fairbrother, unknown Description: Vincent Price apparently didn't get enough 17th century witch hunting in The Conqueror Worm two years earlier, so he's back as a manical witch hunter in this opus. The film begins with him presiding over the interrogation of a suspected sorceress (Fairbrother) who stands in his courtroom with her wrists shackled in front to a shoulder-width board with a chain attached. After a branding iron fails to dissuade her from denying the charges, she's led to the stocks with her wrists tied in front to the back of a wagon, marching to the lash of a whip. Later, two of Price's henchmen lead her, with her wrists still bound in front, into a dungeon where she ends up dangling by her wrists over a flaming pit. Still later, Price and his minions sweep into a village where, after selecting a nubile victim at random, they tie her by the wrists to a wheel lying atop a pile of kindling and set it alight to terrorize the other residents. The only witch in the coven who escapes calls up a banshee (huh?) to avenge her sisters; hence the title. |

Record number: 270 Title: Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991) Medium: Movie Actress: Tia Carrere Description: Minako (Carrere) is kidnapped by the bad guys at 53mins and for a while is led around a warehouse, unbound. Dolph Lundgren later discovers at 1hr 7mins, tied to a petrol pump with rope (around her waist, hands behind back) and loosely cleave gagged with a pale red towel. Good mmpphhing. Within a minute, Dolph frees her just in time before the whole place blows up. Great close-ups and full-body views of Carrere, who wears a white tank top (with her nipples poking through nicely), thigh-length blue shorts (loose-fitting but showing off her sexy legs) and white flats. |

Record number: 1307 Title: Columbo: No Time to Die (1992) Medium: TV Movie Actress: Joanna Going Description: She plays a bride kidnapped on her wedding night. About 20 minutes in, she's shown lying on a mattress on the floor of an otherwise empty room, wearing a full white slip with white stockings and her ankles bound with rope. She has lost her shoes in the struggle and when she awakens in the empty room, the scene begins with a great closeup of her bound stocking feet. It's implied her hands are tied behind her, but they aren't shown clearly. She's gagged with a piece of wide white adhesive tape. In a flashback, her abduction is shown; as she hangs up her wedding dress while her new husband takes a shower, a man in a surgical mask, armed with a scalpel, approaches as she recoils in horror. He comes up behind her, hand-gags her, and warns her not to scream as he menaces her with the scalpel. Then he reaches into his pocket and produces a chloroform-soaked cotton pad with which he renders her unconscious. About 20 minutes later, she's again shown bound and gagged on the mattress. This time, her captor enters the room and makes a big production of warning her not to scream when he removes the tape, before ripping it off and untying her. The ropes on her wrists are finally shown for a few seconds as he slices through them with the scalpel. |
