Crimson Crimes

There are two plays named Crimson Crimes, both containing the phrase "Crimson Crimes" in the full title as well:
Crimson Crimes, or The Blood-Stained Bandit (1832)
This is a melodrama by John B. Buckstone ()[]
Crimson Crimes, or Deeds of Dreadful Note (1849)
This is a farce attributed to William E. Burton (1804-1860)[]
One commentator suggests that it may have been a parody of the one act “romantic tale of terror” published in 1810 by Alfred Dubois (nom de plume of James Stuart Bowes, 1768/69-1863) called Wilful Murder, or Deeds of Dreadful Note (or simply Deeds of Dreadful Note), though it could of course also have been a parody of Buckstone's play - or of the genre in general, merely taking the title from the two works.
