Summary

Satan-worshiping Prince Prospero in 12th-century Italy holds a macabre masked ball in the midst of a deadly plague. The hedonistic nobles believe that Prospero's castle walls will keep out not only the countrysides's peasants, but the lethal Red Death as well.

Dark and surreal fiction by Edgar Allan Poe, whose name is synonymous with horror, mystery, and the uncanny.

A performance reading by Oscar-nominated special-effects makeup artist Edward E. French.
