Dr Robert Morgan (Vincent Price) is the lone survivor of a plague that spread across the world. The plague caused the entire population of Earth to die, but the doctor soon realizes that they are not going to remain dead. This horror classic is a tour de force for Price.

Olivia Costa is this year's 2nd grade winner in the Writers Contest! 🎉

A little more about Olivia: Her favorite color is green, and one of her favorite things to do for fun is camping, because its outdoors and she loves to be outside. She's really good at writing and building, and when she grows up, she wants to be an engineer/scientist! We of course had to know what her favorite PBS KIDS show was, and she said Donkey Hodie! When asked if she had plans to write more stories she said "Yes!" We can't wait for the next one!

Stay tuned for more info about this year’s winners and their animated stories!

A message from MASTERPIECE and our Executive Producer, Susanne Simpson: “The entire MASTERPIECE and PBS family are terribly sad to hear the news of Maggie Smith’s death. She was an icon and will be deeply missed by us personally, and by our audience who came to love her in Downton Abbey. She will be remembered by all of us for decades of memorable performances.” (Photo Credit: ALAMY/Carnival Films/Album)
