The Masque of the Red Death is Roger Corman's and most people's, choice as the best of the Edgar Allan Poe pictures. Masque offers the expected creepy atmosphere and violence against peasants, plus metaphysical ponderings and pointed satanic cruelty. Death and Debauchery reign in the castle of Prince Prospero (Vincent Price) and when it reigns... it pours! Prospero has only once excuse for his diabolical deeds - the devil made him do it! But when a mysterious, uninvited guest crashes his pad during a masquerade ball, there'll be hell to pay as the party atmosphere turns into a danse macabre! (Shock Entertainment)
