Episode 86: THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1964) [feat. Nick Ransbottom]

Featuring returning guest Nick Ransbottom (twitter.com/theeziokenway)! A bit of a riff on THE SEVENTH SEAL (1957)’s dour upholding of Christian values, THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH is more about seeing how camp can drive a point home in a completely different way. In this episode, we chat about what it borrows from serious gothic horror including the Poe story of the same name, what’s lost and gained in the transition from the page to the soundstage, if that even matters compared to how much fun Vincent Price is having, and how Vincent Price is actually Waluigi confirmed.
