The story i suppose isn't anything special but it's one i love thanks to it's Poe influences and it's Occult sub plot. As for the masks at the Masque and in the Occult rites? Well they are terrific. I was terrified as a kid and they still stand up today i feel as creations as good as any from pretty much any horror production both then and now.
Its not an absolute favourite of mine, but its production values and location work are near unmatched. And yeah the masks are terrific. The cliff hanger to episode 3 in particular always stays with me.
