A quintessential Edgar Allan Poe adaptation from Corman, The Masque of the Red Death features Vincent Price in a star-turn as Prince Prospero, a sadistic nobleman who uses his castle and a masquerade to escape the plague sweeping through the land. Atmospheric, vibrant, and haunting, this film combines psychological terror with voluptuous gothic elegance.
