October 9th The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
I followed Threads with this classic from Roger Corman. At least here it's only a single village that's wiped out and not the entire country.
The best in Roger Corman's Poe cycle and a wonderful cornucopia of Vincent Price, Hazel Court and a deal with the devil, death, deceit and decadence, costume balls, virulent plague and luscious visuals all round.
I really need to write a proper review for this.
The StudioCanal Blu-ray looks exceptionally good.
