My favorite was truly the movie version. The skull mask looked great and you could actually see his eyes emote. I like the slinky, tight velvet too. It is much sexier than the fluffy musical version.

The new movie gave a... sleak sexy appearance...
the other once i've seen pictures of (I have no clue what production its from) I also like... it was a very large red costume that seemed like something the devil would wear lol (prob hense the name red death << ) and a full faced skull mask...
I personally find the older one more interesting.... but prefer the new one

Actually, the whole Red Death came from a short story by Edgar Allen Poe called The Masque of the Red Death. It's basically the story of these people shutting themselves inside of a castle to escape some rampaging plauge (which is of course called the red death). One night they decide to hold a masquerade ball, and at the stroke of midnight they become aware of a figure that none of them had noticed before. He is dressed in the garments of the grave with splotches of blood on them...um I can't remember how his face was described, but basically it's the embodiment of the disease, red death. Everyone dies in the end (very typical of a Poe story).
I liked the Broadway costume better because it stuck closer to the novel's description of the costume, and because the costume in the movie is not something that's going to stop on entire masquerade. Really if it wasn't for the music change and the camera centering on him you probably wouldn't have much noticed him.

Really if it wasn't for the music change and the camera centering on him you probably wouldn't have much noticed him. I've always wondered if the Red Death from Phantom was taken from Poe's story, or if it was the other way around. I always thought it was the former, but was The Masque of the Red Death written first? I agree about the costume: the Broadway version was more true to the novel, and I liked it more. Plus, I just thought the movie costume was ugly.

Everything I've read seems to agree with that, and these are people who have enough time to do that sort of research. I didn't think the movie version was ugly. It just wasn't big enough, and I'm one of those people who wish that the movie had stuck more to the book. That probably explains some things.

The movie's version was disappointing to me, but then I was rather disappointed with the phantom as a whole.

I personally find the older one more interesting.... but prefer the new one *nods in agreement* Well, it's basicly the whole new advancment in movie graphics and effects. Overall the red death customs aren't my favorite.

The deformity really wasn't that bad, and since it was a movie they could have done his entire face and gone back later to have him dub in the singing like was done with Minnie Driver.
