Summary

NOTE: I mention in the audio that the story was edited by Winslow Swan. I was incorrect in that - it was Crimson McKenzie who did the amazing audio adaptation writing!

IN THIS EPISODE: I bring you a production for my friends at the YouTUbe channel, “Doorway to Nightmare”. Since we discovered each other recently I’ve had the privilege to play voice roles in many of their productions, including this one… Edgar Allan Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”. While I’m about to share with you the audio version, Doorway To Nightmare is a YouTube channel and they do produce videos for each of their stories – so if you’re interested in seeing the video version of this story, I’ve placed a link to it in the show notes.

0:08.0	rest turns into a nightmare from which they cannot escape.
0:12.0	Our next Weird Darkness live screen is Saturday night, December 28th on the Weird Darkness
0:17.0	YouTube channel, and during the live broadcast I'll share some of these chilling nighttime
0:21.4	stories. Tales of shadow people, sleep paralysis, and demons who stalk their victims in that
0:27.5	place between dreams and reality. I'll share true tales of prophetic dreams, some joyful, some
0:33.6	not. Sleepwalking incidents that are both amusing and disturbing. I'll also share real
0:38.9	stories of night terrors so horrifying that sleep became something to fear and dread for those
0:44.9	victimized by the night. You might not want to sleep after joining our next live screen. It's

1:32.7	Parental discretion is strongly advised.
1:51.3	The Red Death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its avatar and its seal, the redness and the horror of blood.
2:00.0	There were sharp pains and sudden dizziness, and then
2:03.1	profuse bleeding at the pores with disillusion. The scarlet stains upon the body, and especially
2:09.7	upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from
