Opis

In this Halloween Masque, a young woman tainted by gossip is forced to flee to a House of Refuge but the dark cloisters are open to the invasion of demons and hallucinations. Later, Victoria leaves the House of Refuge and travels far away to escape her tormentors but eventually she is driven by dark forces to the BigRiver that divides this world from the next. At twilight, on a Halloween, she is visited by three masked devils that haunt the fleeing traveler on her great journey westward. They constantly torment Victoria and argue among themselves as to who is best to take her across the BigRiver. The Lawyer tells the young woman that she will be safe with him. Medicine T. Man offers her what he calls the elixir of life. Preacher Boy identifies the drink as poison but it is too late for Victoria to avoid drinking it. It is not clear if these visions are real or merely a dream at Halloween.
