A possible future reference to The Beatles' 1995 release of music single "Free As A Bird" may appear in the 1964 Roger Corman horror film The Masque Of The Red Death. Based on the 19th century story by Edgar Allen Poe, the adaptation featured a cast with Vincent Price, Jane Asher & Patrick Magee.
- Paul McCartney was dating Asher at the time and reportedly had lunch with the director during the filming.
- Poe appears on the album cover to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) (center image, back row).
- In 1995, the single recorded in 1977, "Free As A Bird" was released.
- I thought a predictive clue to the song's title may be shown in a scene in "Masque" that starts at 27 minutes, 47 seconds. There, Prospero and Francesca are up on the battlements of the castle and a falcon, blinded by a hood is released.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:05Alright, in this video I'll show perhaps a future insight into the Beatles rock band.
00:13And you can see it in Roger Corman's The Mask of the Red Death in 1964.
00:19This movie starred Vincent Price, Jane Asher, Hazel Court, David Weston, Nigel Green, John Westbrook, Patrick McGee.
00:30And Robert Brown.
00:31Based on the short story by 19th century poet Edgar Allan Poe, Asher plays Francesca, a peasant girl in the
00:41village, snatched by wicked Prince Prospero.
00:46She's introduced into the court and witnesses debauchery and decadence.
00:51Francesca's lover Gino and father Ludovico, played by Nigel Green, attempt to work on a plan to escape Prospero's castle.
01:02So, some initial clues.
01:04Beatles frontman Paul McCartney met Jane Asher in 1963 and was dating her at the time of the filming of
01:13Mask of the Red Death.
01:14And reportedly, McCartney had lunch with director Corman and Asher author Edgar Allan Poe.
01:22The stories of which Corman adapted several times can be seen on the album cover to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts
01:30Club Band.
01:31The Beatles' eighth studio album, released in 1967.
01:36So, if you're looking at the cover, Poe is in the Bat Row Center.
01:43In December of 1995, the Beatles put out a previously unreleased single, Free as a Bird.
01:51This was recorded in 77.
01:54It was the first new Beatles material in some time.
01:58The Beatles had broke up in 1970 and had some infrequent collaborations in the latter years.
02:06But I thought a clue to Free as a Bird could be seen in The Mask of the Red Death,
02:1264.
02:13In a scene that starts at around 27 minutes, 47 seconds.
02:18So, here Prospero and Francesca, perhaps up on the battlements.
02:25Price's character releases what I believe to be a falcon.
02:29Here he moves a blinder hood perched on the hand of Prospero.
02:35The bird proceeds to fly off.
02:37My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
02:39There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
02:43I analyze these for possible references to future media.
02:46These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams.
02:50Hidden in the subtext of the work in question, I also use an unconventional method where I look at the
02:56likenesses of the actors.
03:00And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:05and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
03:11that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.

03:25Thanks for watching.
