Event overview
Student led film screening and discussion of Roger Corman's 'The Masque of the Red Death' (1964) with special guest DAVID WESTON (playing Gino, the young hero in the film) for Q&A.
"And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all" - Edgar Allan Poe
'The Masque of the Red Death' is a classic English horror and one in a series of eight Corman adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's work. With Vincent Price as the evil Prince Prospero the film takes on the gothic, the absurd, and the undeniability of death, and love, in pure Corman style - that came to inspire directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese
and James Cameron.
"Death cares not whether its victims are worthy or wicked, young or old, beautiful or homely. As Masque of the Red Death so elegantly illustrates, everyone is equal in death."
