Grim

Gruesome of appearance, the dungeon a fearful place
Rusty chains hanging down, iron maiden by the wall 
It was a harsh stern place that spoke volumes of pain
Made worse by gloomy creepy shadows casting monsters

Well executed acrostic - the gruesome scenario works well to accentuate the title. Very well penned.
