Heretics Fork- This torture device consisted of a metal piece with two opposed bi-pronged forks attached to a belt or strap. One end of the device was pushed under the chin, the other to the lower throat. The strap was used to secure the victims neck to the tool while the victim hung from the ceiling or was somehow suspended so that they could not sleep. If their heads dropped, the prongs would pierce their throat and chest.

Iron Maiden - Remember Despicable Me, where Gru had one of these This torture device consisted of an iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficient enough to enclose a human being. Once inside, the victim would be unable to move due to the great number of steel spikes impaling them from every direction.

Rat Torture - Imagine being in an enclosed cell with rats all around you. Sounds like a torture in itself Well that wasnt enough during the medieval times. This technique involved having a cage with one open side strapped against the victims body. It would then be filled with large rats and a heating element which would be placed on the other side of the cage.

Silican Bull - Also known as the Sicilian Bull, it was designed in ancient Greece. A solid piece of brass was cast with a door on the side that could be opened and latched. The victim would be placed inside the bull and a fire set underneath it until they are slowly roasted to death all while screaming in agonizing pain.

The Rack - Designed to dislocate every joint of the victims body. This torture device was made out of a wooden frame with two ropes fixed to the bottom and the other two tied into the handle on top. Once the victim was bound and placed on top of the rack, the torturer would proceed to turn the handle. This would make the victims body get stretched till his limbs where dislocated.

The Tub - The convicted person would be placed in a wooden tub with only their head sticking out.

After a few days, maggots and worms would devour their body as they decayed alive.
