I was recently told a story about the history of a pub in london and I could swear I saw the story played out as part of a film, but can't remember which one.
First, the story i heard (supposed to be true):
The pub (who's name noone could remember) used to be an inn where travelers would spend the night when traveling by wagon between cities. People traveling alone would be shown to a room on the first floor to spend the night. After they had fallen asleep, the inn's owner would go into the basement and pull a pin out from under the bed. The bed would flip over on a pivot and dump the traveler into a pit full of water where they would be left to drown.
The inn's owner would then keep all the traveler's money and possessions. In addition, the traveler would be chopped up and included in the stew that was served nightly to the inn's patrons.
I could swear this story was included in part of a movie. I think it might have been one about a monk investigating murders and had "rose" somewhere in the name, but I'm not sure.
Anybody ever see this before?

Now, for the game. Describe an obscure scene from a movie and people will guess what movie it's from.
