    “For the love of God, Montresor!” “”Yes, for the love of God.” Translation: “DUDE?!” “Dude indeed!”

    When someone says gothic I always imagine a girl in a goth lolita dress, Wednesday Addams, and Dracula all standing in the same room very awkwardly staring at each other.

    I just imagine a vampire telling his grandkids of the good ol days when he was younger and old london knew to fear him

    I always thought the reason Prospero and his party goers were mad at the stranger in red was because they went to all the effort of walling themselves into Prospero's Party Palace to be able to pretend the Red Death wasn't happening and someone shows up dressed as a Red Death victim. So, y'know, buzzkill.

    I interpreted the old mans heart beat after he died as the “protagonists” heart beat, but him being insane, he believed it was the old mans heart in the floorboards
  • Me listening to The Mask of Red Death in 2020: Wow, it’s almost like throwing a big party during a plague is a bad idea.

    I love Poe and Lovecraft because both of them are living personifications of their writing. Poe is dark and depressing and Lovecraft is scared of the unknown. AKA everything outside of his home village

    "Dude!" "DUDE, INDEED!" That never gets old. :D

    “Strategic dismemberment” Those are two words that were never meant to be put in the same sentence.

    I love the fact that every once in a while, Red drops the "normal human person" facade and shows her "DEMON SORCERESS QUEEN OF THE MONSTERS LURKING IN THE DARK" real face that everyone knows and love. I love you, your Highness

    Legends say Gregory is still stuck behind a certain wall in a cellar, waiting for a bottle of Amontillado.
  • When I read 'The Telltale Heart' I thought that the beating sound he heard was actually his own heart, and that the more he worried about it the louder it got and the more he was driven crazy by it, thinking that it was the old man's heart. I don't know if it was meant that way, but that was my interpretation, and I thought it was poetic that his own stress and guilt about murdering this dude was his undoing.

    Poe: hey im actually having a good time right no- Tuberculosis: not so fast, buckeroo

    Regarding Fortunado's silence at the end of that story, he apparently had a really bad cough, probably had asthma or something, and apparently the tomb in which he would be killed was really suffocating. In the sense that literally he died due to suffocation just as Montresor was finishing up. That is also the why Montresor was so huffy, because he didn't get the death he wanted for Fortunado.

    I just really love how The Spanish Inquisition was a feared juggernaut until Monty Python turned them into a joke and meme, so that larger than life , goliath like fear factor was just gone only Monty Python

    "When a conveniently placed French Army comes in to save him" Wait what how did they get here where is the plot behind this twist.
  • “Hap-Poe Halloween!” “And that’s why I killed him, your honor”

    The Mask of Red Death hits different during a pandemic where people are still having parties
