The Spanish Tickle Torture (Spanischer Kitzler)

The Iron Cage (Eisenkäfig)

that's what I call "screwing with your head"

Impalement! (Das Pfählen)

The Head Crusher (Der Kopfquetscher)

- This device seems to have been highly respected, especially in the area of northern Germany.

- Its function was quite simple: the victim's chin was placed on a wooden or iron support and the device's cap was then screwed down on the victim's head.

- First, the victim's teeth and jawbone would be crushed and eventually, as the pressure was increased, his brain tissue would actually begin to come out of his skull.

- With the passage of time, this instrument lost its function as a tool for killing and became more widely used as an interrogation and torture device.

- Megadeth has a song about it

and the WORST (I think) : The Hand-Saw (Die Säge)
