@hyakushiki23 Glad to hear people are using it!  :)

[DarkWriter31]

Well done! Images really match the story. Music is interesting, kind of like an older radio production.

[StrobieStudios]

@DarkWriter31 Yup, that's what we were going for. We also do several old time radio type shows - The Watson Files and The Ark of Time. Check out our channel for those as well.

This solo is also played on this vampire dress up game i used to play...kept playing it cause of the music :)

[StrobieStudios]

@K1ng0fHearts99 Yes, you are correct. Prince Prospero (and everyone else in attendance) is killed by the red death. I guess I didn't read disneylandfreack's comment closely enough... ;)

[K1ng0fHearts99]

@StrobieStudios no There was a sharp cry -- and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which, instantly afterwards, fell prostrate in death the Prince Prospero.

it says fell prince prospero not the red death \

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! i have to read this for english because i have a quiz over it tomorrow and im a reallyyyyy slow reader and i keep wondering with my thoughts while reading this and then i forget what i read! to have this read aloud to me reallyyy helps!! thanks again! im soo happy i found this :D

[RickyRoro777]

I''m not really a fan of Poe, but I actually like this one. Nice job putting this all together.

[StrobieStudios]

@zusue2000 Agreed.  It's a good one.

[StrobieStudios]

@disneylandfreack Yup, pretty much.

[disneylandfreack]

ok so at the end the prince kills the man in the red costume who had the red death sickness and the man gave all the people the sickness and they all died?

[zusue2000]

I personaly love the story read aloud and i believe that this is a classic story

[1upization]

Mrs Operska brought me here! :D

[MisWillo]

This is so awesome

I have a test on this tomorrow and I just could not sit down and re -read it

I love the story but my mind just would not focus

[arachnid55]

I cannot beleive it! You used the same exact tune to start your story as I used for my preview for my Red Death movie. I swear I did not plan this out!!!!!! This is a very strange coincidence!!!!!

[susankohistany]

I wrote a thesis on this story in English story and my teacher really liked it so she read it to my class after reading other failed attempts by my class mates.....I was so happy. If Poe was listening I hope he was proud...My favorite author
