The Masque of the Red Death

Caught just the tail end of this movie on Wednesday night, but even that little bit was FREAKY!!!

It feels like an Edgar Allen Poe horror story as interpreted by a bunch of performance artist beatniks. I really want to see it all the way through, now.

We taped "Diary of a Madman"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056993/

and

"The Abominable Dr. Phibes"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066740/

off Turner Classic Movies last night, but I wish we'd had the VCR set for "Masque."

excerpt:

1) Be big. Stand up straight and use your size to your advantage.

2) Dress sharp.

3) Be direct and dominant. Always keep eye contact with anyone who is going to take statistics from your body.
