Tore's Daughters

A tale of relentless horror, Wes Craven's Last House on the Left (1970) was, in turn inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1960 film The Virgin Spring. That foreign classic was based upon the Medieval folktale of "Tore's Daughters," a short, ghoulish story of sin, irony, and grim retribution. The story is here retold by Tom Baker, author of Scary Urban Legends, Buried, Nazi Monkey Seance, and other books.
