Brand new factory sealed vhs tape is Out Of Print in all formats and no longer being manufactured. Roger Corman produced this 1989 remake of his own version.
No one knows who the evil masked man on the horse is. Just that wherever he goes, a disfiguring and deadly plauge follows with boil-bursting disease effects.
Patrick Macnee ('Avengers' TV series) plays Machiavel--the mysterious man who sets Edgar Allen Poe's cryptic, medieval tale in motion. Prince Prospero (Adrian Paul) becomes frightened he'll catch the scourge that's slaughtering thousands of his country's peasants. So he walls himself up in his castle with Princess Lucrecia (Tracy Reiner, daughter of Rob Reiner & Penny Marshall)--but not before inviting his blue-blood friends and a bevy of maidens to join him in orgies.
Prince Prospero soon falls in lust with Julietta (Clare Hoak), a sensuous maiden who resists his advances. When the Prince's lieutenant Claudio (Jeff Osterhage) intercedes on her behalf, the scorned Prince throws them both in the dungeon for some torture sequences! This tumultous tale of real intrigue tightens to a suspenseful climax when a band of peasants storm the castle demanding protection from the plauge. You'll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see who's behind the MASQUE of the RED DEATH.
