The Masque [WIP]

In 1976 a group of fringe scientists were invited to a  facility built deep within woodland privately owned by the opulent businessman, Prospero Waldegrave. Here, they chose to be sealed away under his direction, to conduct their experiments, and avoiding the prying eyes of the rest of the world for 1000 days in an effort to maximise their results.

Fast forward to now, 1994, you play as film students, preparing for your final degree film. Having found reference to Prospero's facility and its experiments hidden within the university records, you decide it would be perfect material for your final project.

After some searching, you find yourself approaching the secluded building, a perfect example of 1970s brutalist architecture, concealed by the surrounding grove. With the evening advancing and the weather taking a turn for the worse, you hurry towards the entrance, eager to escape the coming storm…

 The Masque is a reimagining of Poe’s Masque of the Red Death as a 90s horror film. Created as part of the Liminal Horror Twisted Classics Jam.
