The Masque of the Red Death (The Phantom of the Opera)

This video is a bit different from my usual videos. I tried to tell Edgar Allan Poe's wonderful tale "The Masque of the Red Death" using clips from ALW's "The Phantom of the Opera" from 2004. Supposedly, Gaston Leroux got the idea for the masquerade and the Red Death precisely from Poe's story. And so, I made this video. I hope you can enjoy.

Clips from: ALW's The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Music: "Mercy in Darkness" by Two Steps from Hell and "Main Theme" by Danny Elfman from the "Sleepy Hollow" soundtrack
Voice-overs: the narration of Poe's story by Grant Raymond Barrett (October 7, 2008)

Bravo! Love gaston Leroux's novel. loved the masquerade, the red death scene, the chandelier scene, loved the torture chamber in the book and really wished they would have done something great with that scene. the grasshopper or the scorpion. And E.A.Poe is a dark genius much like the phantom.

@MrShaun42088 Thank you for such a great comment! I love all those scenes myself, and parallels could definitely be drawn between Poe and the Phantom. Thanks again!

I wanted to make a video like this long ago, but never got around to it. You've done a beautiful job!! I love it!

[LorienGaladriel]

@DarthxErik Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Oh wow! This was amazing! MotRD is probably within my top 5 fave Poe stories. This was just stunning! Truly looked like what a movie version of the story would be. You should seriously try to do some more of Poe's stories like this.

[LorienGaladriel]
