STORYLINE: The Masque of the Red Death – The evil Prince Prospero is riding through a Catania village when he sees that the peasants are dying of the Red Death plague. Prospero asks to burn down the village and he is offended by the villagers, Gino and his father-in-law, Ludovico and decides to kill them, but Gino’s wife, the young and beautiful Francesca, begs for the lives of her husband and her father, and Prospero brings them alive to his castle, expecting to corrupt Francesca. Prospero worships Satan and invites his noble friends to stay in his castle, which is a shelter of depravity against the plague. When Prospero invites his guests to attend a masked ball he sees a red-hooded stranger and he believes that Satan himself has attended his party. But soon he learns who his mysterious guest is.
STORYLINE: The Premature Burial – Emily Gault arrives at the Carrell mansion determined to rekindle an old relationship with Guy Carrell, despite the disapproval of his sister, Kate. Guy overcomes his all-consuming fear of being buried alive long enough to marry Emily but soon becomes obsessed again, building a crypt designed to guarantee that he will not fall prey to his most dreaded nightmare. Trying to prove that he has been cured of his phobia, he opens his father’s tomb and is shocked into a catatonic state. His worst fears are realized as he is lowered into a grave and covered over, apparently never to learn that the treachery of someone very dear to him was directly responsible for his predicament.
