Update from The House of Plague, Day 21

[elisi]

Only one thing today, but it's literary.




(x)

And here is the story in question:

The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

It's not long, but it IS unsettling... (I mean, of course it is.)

ETA: Breaking news: Boris Johnson moved to intensive care as symptoms 'worsen'

ETA2: And, since I'm doing 'official stuff', here is The Queen's Speech. (Rather good, I thought.)

Masque of the Red Death is one of my favourite films. I must have a rewatch!

I think this message from the Queen is great, but about two weeks too late. Not that the Queen saying something anything is going to sway me either way, but she's our Head of State, we should have had this message at the start of the lockdown (to be fair, it may have been difficult to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the video, but there should have been a statement from the Palace at very least).

I didn't know it was a film! *makes note*

Better late than never. And *everything* has been late, so... What can you do. Anyway, Boris is presumably re-thinking a lot of his choices now and wishing he could have done things differently.

Oh yes it's a film! One of the Roger Corman Edgar Allen Poe adaptations with Vincent Price. I love campy old horror films.

Niiiice. I have added it to my to-watch list. :)
