Real Minishow Ep. 64 - Masque of the Red Death

We won’t lie. The first episode of Fall of the House of Usher didn’t have us sold on the show. It was slow and super expository. However, episode 2? My God, episode 2 is so good!

This week we move forward with Mike Flanagan’s Fall of the House of Usher with The Masque of the Red Death. In Poe’s original short story, we meet young Prince Prospero who decides to throw a party despite the devastating plague happening outside the palace walls. Well, Death has other plans for him as even the wealthy can’t escape him. 

And how does Flanagan adapt this famous cautionary tale? By making the masquerade a rave and Prince Prospero a Gen Z with something to prove.

Sam and Stormy died and they can't get into Heaven until they watch every single horror movie on Netflix. But, like, those movies are constantly changing, so it seems like someone is yanking their chain.
