About
The Masque of the Red Death

By far my favorite Corman film and certainly one of the best macabre performances by one of my favorite actors, the devilishly campy and gentlemanly Vincent Price. The film is certainly the biggest of the Poe adaptations Corman tackled and the set design and color photography (DP Nicolas Roeg became a director of stature himself) have stayed with me. The imagery may look cheap by today's standards but it holds up.
