THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH
09/16/2026 · 8 min 38 sec
As plague devours the kingdom, a prince summons a thousand guests behind his palace walls and decrees an endless celebration: seven chambers, each bathed in a different color, where feasting, dancing and pleasure are meant to erase what waits outside. But in the middle of the revelry, a figure appears that no one invited — silent, wrapped in a dark veil, wearing a face no one recognizes. The prince demands it be seized; no one dares. When he finally confronts it himself, he discovers there is no disguise beneath the veil. What follows is a transformation impossible to contain, and the palace meant to be a sanctuary becomes its own sentence. A gothic reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale, crafted using artificial intelligence as a tool for art direction and cinematography
