A Horror Parable



The Masque of the Red Death was an interesting horror film from 1964 at the height of producer Roger Corman and star Vincent Price's successful adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe classics. The vivid colors and set designs were striking despite their limited budgets. Cinematographer Nicolas Roeg would go on to be a noted director (The Man Who Fell to Earth, Don't Look Now). This tale was originally told in Poe's short story and makes you think even today.
