The King in Yellow And The Masque of Death (Italian: Il re in giallo e il mascherata della morte) is a 1974 Italian gaillo film directed by Emilo Miraglia.
The third film in a loose trilogy comprising: The Night Evelyn Rose From The Grave, and, The Red Queen Kills Seven Times, II re in giallo e il mascherata della morte, was Emilo’s last film and it is considered by many critics to be the reason for his departure from the film business and his reclusive later years.
Not picked up for redistribution in the US by Canning Films, as a result of issues surrounding the Blood Wedding scene, the film is the least known of the trilogy although it is regarded as the best written.
