The Masque of the Red Death (1964): While the plague rages outside in the small Italian province, Prince Prospero (Vincent Price), stays confined to the sanctuary of his castle with his aristocratic guests.  Indifferent to the suffering outside, Prospero holds a masquerade ball where the celebrants revel in their debauchery and cruelty, unaware of the mysterious masked stranger lurking in their midst. 

 

Masque-making workshop: Join us before the movie to create a mask worthy of Prince Prospero’s ball.
