You know the story: the cruel Prince Prospero and his closest... and wealthiest... friends and acquaintances attempt to escape the "Red Death" that ravishes the countryside by hiding away from the rest of the world, throwing a lavish event celebrating all things hedonistic, only to be visited by a mysterious partygoer on a mission. Now experience Poe's classic chiller from a wholly different point of view: that of the evening's entertainment. Our season finale...

Our season finale, presented ad-free: "The Floodgates of Willowhill".
