The Masque of the Red Death
From Academic Kids
"The Masque of the Red Death" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1842.
It was adapted by film director Roger Corman as a classic film starring Vincent Price, which, like the story, ends with the sentence:
- And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
