Talk:The Masque of the Red Death

message: When the subject of Poe comes up around my circle of friends, the idea that the Red Death may have been inspired by a hemorrhagic fever such as Ebola.  Does anyone have anything better than "I heard..."?   Frotz661 01:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've never read the Masque of the Red death, and I'm confused by the summary. Is paragraph two simply restating the first one, or continuing the story? I'm not sure if Prospero survived the initial plague, and brought back all of his friends for Round Two, or if he died initially. If it's the latter, maybe that should be stated in the first paragraph.
:The recent rewrite should be helpful.  The setup is that Prospero barracaded himself and his friends in the castle for fear of infection.  There was no Round Two.  I strongly suggest you read the short story itself.  Frotz661 06:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure there was an adaptation of "Masque of the Red Death" in "Heavy Metal" magazine back in the late 1970's or maybe early 1980's.  I don't have an issue number or an artist cite, though so I can't provide a citation. Rmd1023 (talk) 16:42, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Graphic adaptation 

message: There is a reading made by William Burroughs, illustrated. it is found in the multimedia work the Dark Eye, 1995.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.75.122 (talk) 01:29, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: My opinion is that the illustration is obviously of the story -- the main subject of the article -- and needs no further explanation. As for your second point, a vague reference is too trivial. The section on this article is for full-length adaptations. --Midnightdreary (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Sure this should take the form "This page is about SUCH-AND-SUCH-IN-PARTICULAR. For other uses, see The Masque of the Red Death (disambiguation)."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.252.85.25 (talk) 11:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
