If I was living in the middle of a pandemic I guess I too would simply hide out in Vincent Price's gothic, psychedelic Satan cult castle for rich perverts. Prince Prospero is one of very best Poe performances that Corman and Price conceived of during their run together,…
Josh LewisApr 19, 2018As colorfully stunning as just about any Hammer picture of its time, each scene pops vibrantly with beautiful camerawork from Nicholas Roeg, all while Vincent Price achieves the perfect mixture of devilish charm and insidious evil. This adaptation of Poe’s short story…
Ian Westpeople do NOT hoard masques of the red death! they are in short supply and must be reserved for prince prospero & others on the front lines of our depraved satanic bacchanal!

Hello MTV my name is Prince Prospero and welcome to my crib. This is the bailey where we torture peasants. Here’s the keep where the weekly orgy for Satan takes place. In that great hall we rehearse the occasional danse macabre. You’ve seen my castle, you’ve seen my…
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️Oct 9, 2021This whole movie is just an excuse for Vincent Price to wear a bunch of funny hats.
ZachMar 26, 201987 So scrumptious and evocative that the vast variety of colors are appropriately out of place, with each element at the mercy of your gaze. Combined with DP Nicolas Roeg flooring it through such decadent, crazed, and delicious rooms, this AIP production is nothing less…

HesseJun 20, 2026A movie about Vincent Price being unjustly cancelled for trying to prevent a pandemic by throwing a fun house party. [35mm] Full discussion on ep 332 of my podcast SLEAZOIDS.
Josh LewisMay 7, 2017"Why should you be afraid to die? Your soul has been dead for a long time."I found this to be sadly beautiful. A superlative take on Edgar Allan Poe's short story. Price is at his peak, and this is arguably Corman's finest hour. First off, all hail those evocative opening…

Kitschy, sure, but a solid and committed performance from Vincent Price, as usual. His whispered delivery of the word “Satan” was a perfect moment on camp horror.

No stranger to sneaking left-wing politics into his genre films, Corman emphasizes the struggle between the callous haves and the suffering have-nots, while Price’s performance teases out the story’s seediest elements.
