Richd I'm quite happy to be corrected :)

Otherwise my favourite Hammer/Poe flick: Masque of the Red Death ('Dance of Death' scene), I'd defy any director to capture the macabre and surreal quality of this Corman classic. I love this scene, but perhaps my favourite is at the end, where the Spirits of Death in the form of personifications of different plagues meet together and speak somberly of their nights work, relieving the stricken of their suffering.
