With a deadly plague ravaging his Renaissance kingdom, Prince Prospero invites his friends to retire to the protection of his castle for ongoing revels, leaving the peasantry to die. But the debauched nobility does not so easily escape fate. Produced by Roger Corman (Bloody Mama), who directed the first adaption starring Vincent Price, this R-rated imagining of the Edgar Allan Poe (The Pit and the Pendulum) classic stars Adrian Paul (TV s Highlander) fame and Patrick Macnee (TV s The Avengers).
