About the event
MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (Dir. Roger Corman, 1964, 89 mins). Followed by a costume dance party for the wicked and the brave. Thematic Tricks & Treats will be provided!
Known as "The King of Cult", master-of-exploitation filmmaking Roger Corman made a string of films in the 1960's based from unusual source material: the decidedly antiquarian (and public domain!) short stories of 19th-century writer Edgar Allan Poe. The seventh of these films is a medieval tale of evil aristocratics attempting to outwit and outwait the mysterious “red death” which ravages the countryside around them. They pass the time with sado-masochistic masquerade balls and satanic rituals (“let me speak to you about the anatomy of terror” is a party pick-up line for the ages), but even deals with the devil may not be enough when the plague without becomes the plague within. Master-of-horror Vincent Price stars as Prince Prospero, a genteel monster who enjoys commanding his party guests to bark like dogs and mansplaining Satanism to Francesca, an innocent God-fearing girl he’s kidnapped from the village, played by a wide-eyed 19-year-old Jane Asher.
