In "The Masque of Red Death, which details about the 7th room make it grotesque in appearance? What mood is created by this setting?

Several details of the seventh, westernmost, room make it seem grotesque.  First, the walls and ceiling are hung with black velvet, a color and a cloth that seem to suck up and absorb all light; even the floor is draped in the same fabric and hue.  Second, the windows are stained red, "a deep blood color," casting a scarlet tint on anyone who actually dares to go into this room (and not very many do because it is so frightening to look on the faces of others here).  Further, the light of the fire from the tripods just outside the room, streaming through the "blood-tinted panes was ghastly in the extreme."  It rendered the courtiers' faces "wild," and almost inhuman.  


These details, which seem to distort the revelers into something terrible, inspire quite an ominous mood.  The fact that black so often symbolizes the unknown, and even death, and that the windows' color is repeatedly described as being like "blood," is terribly foreboding.  Further, the fact that all the masqueraders stop and grow pale at the sound of the clock that chimes loudly in this room is yet more productive of a strange sense of anticipation, the feeling that something awful is going to happen.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
