You prompted me to watch Corman's 'Masque of the Red Death' again. It has so much in common with Bergman's 'Seventh Seal'. Ironic that the latter is, rightly imo, regarded as one of the all time greats whereas 'Masque' is written off as a typical Corman cheapie.Thanks for the heads up........I found a stack of his films for free on the wonderful Bing Video site yesterday....I saw "Pit & The Pendulum" at the cinema about five years ago and it was great--Vincent Price playing up to the camera was so funny....I have saved some of the Edgar Allan Poe films.....V P was a fantastic actor.
SS is great of course, but I really I love Masque too. The bit where they're running through the different coloured rooms is great, and the cloaked death figures used to really creep me out as a kid. It's Corman's best film IMHO.You prompted me to watch Corman's 'Masque of the Red Death' again. It has so much in common with Bergman's 'Seventh Seal'.

Such a great film. Love the scene where all the mods are bouncing to 'Green Onions' in the club.Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day
Yes, the superb photography was by Nicholas Roeg who went on to direct classics like 'Don't Look Now'. Like you, I think it's Corman's best. I believe he is still with us, getting on for his century.SS is great of course, but I really I love Masque too.

Great film.As blues exile says the cameramabn was our own Nicholas Roeg.This is yet another film directed by Roger Corman but it is in a different class to his cheapies....It stars The Clown Prince Of Horror Vincent Price.

The Corman/Poe films are excellent.On the subject of cameramen, interesting that on the other Corman/Poe films it was David Crosby's father Floyd.
Sting will always get a pass from me just for being The Ace Face.Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day
