Is there any kind of heinous torture?
Let me give you a few examples: the ship torture, torture from the ancient Persian Empire, where victims were tied to ships and sent to areas where diarrhea was common; They are forced to drink large quantities of honey and milk, which then causes the victim to develop severe diarrhea, attracting insects and maggots to breed and bite, and the victim dies from injury and dehydration.

I am sure you have heard of him, or at least a song about him. Jim Morrison of The Doors wrote ' Riders on the Storm" about him. " If you give this man a ride, sweet family will die."

'The Walking Dead': Could The Finale Really Kill Off Judith Grimes?
WARNING!: SPOILERS for The Walking Dead 11x23, 'Family'. Ever since her birth in the season three episode 'Killer Within', Judith Grimes, the daughter of original series protagonist Rick Grimes, has been a mainstay of The Walking Dead. Judith's birth represented hope for the future, proof that new life was still possible, even in a world overrun by the dead. At first mostly a plot device as a dependant our group needed to protect and provide for, Judith has since become one of The Walking Dead's most beloved characters, especially once the adorable, and talented, Cailey Fleming was cast as an older Judith following Season Nine's time jump.

Here is another that you may be familiar with, a tale as old almost as the concept of the Fairytale itself: it involves a lovely young maiden, a jealous, vain queen... and, of all things, an apple.

10 Horror Series Worth Watching This Halloween
Ordered from least to greatest for your convenience. 1. Hemlock grove This show has a solid first season. It’s a high school teen drama mixed with supernatural elements. It’s not perfect, but the performances are strong and the storytelling is interesting. Season 2 is a miss-step, but watchable. Season 3 is a mess and is unsatisfying as a conclusion, but if you’re bored and want to watch a horror-themed show, this is a unique option. Bill Skarsgård, Landon Liboiron, and Famke Janssen do an excellent job in this forgotten early Netflix series.
