		A disease known as the Red Death plagues the fictional country where this tale is set, and it causes its victims to die quickly and gruesomely.
		The Red Death, then, embodies a type of radical egalitarianism, or monetary equality, because it attacks the rich and poor alike.
		The fall of Prospero and the subsequent deaths of his guests follow from this logic of the masquerade: when revelry is unmasked as a defense mechanism against fear, then the raw exposure of what lies beneath is enough to kill.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
		Oblivious to the suffering outside the castle, the celebrants revel in their debauchery and debasement, unaware that Death is lurking in their midst.
		However, as an act of choice, Francesca's eventual submission is anything but weak, and her actions mark her as a strong character and a worthy opponent to the sinister Prospero.
		It is therefore unsurprising that The Masque of the Red Death is considered one of Roger Corman's greatest directorial accomplishments and the high point of the Poe Cycle.

	Masque of the Red Death
		A masque could also consist only of a procession or pageant of costumed persons—or simply the kind of costume ball staged by Prince Prospero in “The Masque of the Red Death.” Of course, in Poe’s story, masque not only refers to Prospero’s ball but also to the disguise (mask) of the Red Death.
		It is human nature, of course, to attempt to escape death, and many of us in the modern world resort to extreme measures to postpone entering the “seventh room” as long as possible.
		This explanation is implausible, for it is the masked intruder—not the narrator—who represents Death; the intruder is a separate, distinct character.

	Box Office Prophets: The Masque of the Red Death Review
		The last film in the series, The Masque of the Red Death, was also its apex.
		Although Vincent Price made films and television appearances until very nearly his death, one could argue that he was at his zenith in the '60s and '70s; certainly many of his most memorable performances came during this time, and his Prince Prospero is a sterling example.
		Part charmer, part sadist, with a cavalier air towards the evil done by him and in his name, the audience is both repelled and fascinated by this thoroughly unpleasant man, and fells a twinge of sadness for the doomed prince even as it cheers him receiving his just desserts.

		The disease took 1/2 hour to bring death, six months of seclusion preceded the extravagent masque.
		There were seven rooms reminiscent of seven days of Creation, and the mummer dressed in red appeared at the 12th hour.
		The affect of this constant reference to time, in juxtaposition to sensual abandon and sterile death is the reminder that consciousness of limitation is the key to the meaning which eludes Prospero.

		Though based on two Edgar Allen Poe stories, Masque of the Red Death relies more upon its mood and atmosphere than its story values for its success.
