Dance of Death and The Masque of The Red Dealth

Dance of Death

* the bug behind the door.
- the thing that scares you but its a scary relief.
* scary part is the unknown
* the thing that scares people is the leading up to the scary action, not the actual "scary" thing itself.

The Masque of The Red Death.

1.blue:windows
2.purple:panes
3.green:casements
4.orange:furnished and lightened
5.white
6.violet
7.black velvet tapestries hung over the ceilings and walls

*No light in any of the rooms
*Huge clock in the 7th room
*Every hour the clock would chime! Everyone would stop and be quiet
*Masquerades had bizzare apperences
*7th room no one was allowed
* @ 12 everyone is still and quiet
* Prince was in the blue room when he orders the man to take off his mask.
* Tall figure with clothing from the grave and was sprinkled with blood like "Red Death"
* When the prince goes up to him the figure stabs him with a dagger.
* Skull masked man= Red Death. Killed everyone at the party. The clock stopped working

Moral of Story: You cant cheat death it will always be there and you cant run from it.
When the figure is by the clock shows that death is there and ready.
