- 'The Masque of the Red Death', originally published as 'The Mask of the Red Death: A Fantasy' (1842), is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. The story follows Prince Prospero's attempts to avoid a dangerous plague known as the Red Death by hiding in his abbey. He, along with many other wealthy nobles, has a masquerade ball within seven rooms of his abbey, each decorated with a different color. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose 'costume' proves to have nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn.
- Closely adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's short story, this animated tale of a time of pestilence paints a picture of what might have been Poe's own feelings of fatalistic helplessness in the face of the White Plague, tuberculosis, which had claimed several members of his family. Artistically told in a surreal expressionistic style, this film also draws on Poe's own use of colorful and detailed description in the story.

- Episode: (2019)2017–Podcast EpisodeThe 1842 short story is an allegory about the inevitability of death. The Gothic short story is has risen to controversy with what is the titular disease which scholars continue to debate today. The original earned Poe $12.00 and would be published in Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Monthly. In 1964, Roger Corman would bring the tale to the screen in all of its widescreen Technicolor splendor which would be part of the Corman Poe films starring Vincent Price in the lead role. Two sub plots are used in the classic screenplay written by Charles Beaumont and R Wright Campbell which incorporated Leap Frog, short by Poe himself and Torture of Hope by Augste Villiers de l'isle-Adam. Interesting fact is award winning director Nicholas Roeg (Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth).
