Since today would have been Edgar Allan Poe's birthday (born 19th January, 1809), have a little Vincent Prince from the Masque of the Red Death, part of the now-iconic cycle of Poe inspired films he made with Roger Corman in the 1960s.

I first started reading Ed when I was around 11 or 12, I think. Scary to think I have now been enjoying his work for more decades than he actually lived...
