Oh, dude, in "The Masque of the Red Death," the use of the word "masque" is ironic because while it refers to a fancy costume party in the story, it also alludes to the masked figure of the Red Death that ultimately brings death to the revelers. It's like calling a party "The Dance of the Grim Reaper" - not exactly a fun time for everyone involved. So, yeah, it's ironic in a dark and twisted kinda way.
