The Masque of the Red Death

The Masque of the Red Death

Directed by Roger Corman

Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH is a lavish production from legendary cult director Roger Corman. Vincent Price stars as the evil Prospero, a Prince who has sold his soul and who counts on the promises of the Devil for protection. He hosts incredible, opulent parties for the privileged while the poor die in hovels, starving victims of the Red Death, a devastating plague that is sweeping his lands. Prospero takes a perverse pleasure in the pain and suffering of his supplicants and his friends alike.

Vincent Price stars in Poe's tale of a prince using his castle as a refuge against the "Red Death" plague that stalks the land.

Cast: Vincent Price, Hazel Court, Jane Asher

Very good for a movie that is almost 60 years old now. Great acting by Vincent Price and an atmospheric setting. Liked this one
