During the Black Plague, .Prince Prospero (Vincent Price) tries to secure his castle from the out- side world and the victims of Pestilence. Under the protection of black magic, he entertains a select body of noble guests. The revelers carouse amid the baronial splendor, entertained by cruelly devised amusements unti the chilling end, when Prospero confronts the messenger of the Red Death! Nicholas Roeg pho- tographed this adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's Tale in Sumptuous Colors, and his use of red foreshadows its use 10 years later in his own Don't Look Now. Stars Vincent Price, Jane Asher, Hazel Court and Patrick Magee. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (ARTHUR LUBIN, 1943) 8:45 ONLY This spectacularly produced remake of the Lon Chaney classic won Academy Awards for Best Color Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Interior Direction. A fading violinist in the Paris Opera falls hopelessly in love with a young soprano and murders all those who stand in the way of her career. Highlights include an enormous chandelier crashing down on an opening- night audience, not to mention the climactic chase through the Catacombs of Paris. The fantatsic musical score-often matching on-stage music to back-stage action-includes "The Porter Song" from Von Flotow's Martha and operatic-choral arrange- ments from symphonic and piano music by Tchaikovsky and Chopin, plus an original "Folk Song" and piano concerto. Claude Rains, Nelson Eddy, Suzanna Foster, Leo Carilla and Hume Cronyn. THE TRIP (ROGER CORMAN, 1967) 10:30 Peter Fod4' plays a worn-out director of TV commercials who is in the middle of divorcing his wife (Susan Strasburg) when he decides to "open his head up" with Bruce Dern as his guide! The visuals are very stunning, the ftaliucination scenes are hilar- iously camp, and Roger Corman, working from a script by Jack Nicholson, tries to deal honestly with his mixed feelings about acid. There are many "privileged moments" that will strike close to home for anyone who's indulged before. With Dennis Hopper. I think I can flyyyy..
