Welcome back to another spine-chilling episode of Ghastly Gospels, where we explore the darkest corners of human history and imagination. This week, we're diving deep into one of humanity's most disturbing chapters as we examine the brutal world of torture methods throughout history. From the psychological torment of waterboarding to the medieval horror of being drawn and quartered, we'll walk you through some of the most extreme and unthinkable methods of inflicting pain that have ever been devised. We pose the haunting question to our listeners: which of these methods would break you first?

But we don't stop at historical torture techniques. We're also venturing into the twisted realm of the Saw franchise, where fictional horror meets calculated cruelty. Join us as we analyze how the elaborate traps in these films function as sophisticated torture devices, each one designed to exploit specific fears and force impossible moral choices. We'll explore how these cinematic contraptions combine multiple forms of physical and psychological torture into single, diabolical mechanisms that have captivated and horrified audiences for decades.

Prepare yourself for an unflinching examination of humanity's capacity for cruelty, both real and imagined. This episode is not for the faint of heart, but for those brave enough to confront the shadows of human nature alongside us. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
