This was posted originally to my first "ClockworkCardiac" account, but since I can't seem to access that one anymore, I'm posting it here. This was a fake trailer I cut together from public-domain footage and newsreels for a proposed steampunk adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "Masque of the Red Death"...I'm still planning on doing the film, but the story (while still technically based on Poe's tale, a la Roger Corman) has changed to the point that the trailer doesn't really reflect what will happen. Still, I like this trailer and wanted to share. The music is an excerpt from "Doomsday Averted" from Rasputina's "Frustration Plantation" album, suitably scratched and aged to match the visual.
