Description
Two of Edgar Allen Poe's most famous stories, retold on one DVD.
Two stylish and original adaptations of classic Edgar Allan Poe tales of terror, newly telecined from the theatrical film elements and featuring exclusive liner notes by noted film historian Tim Lucas (Video Watchdog)
The Tell-Tale Heart
Themes of voyeurism and unrequited love compliment Poe's superb tale of insanity and murder in this grim and suspenseful interpretation by Ernest Morris. Starring Laurence Payne and Adrienne Corri (Hammer's Vampire Circus), and written by Brian Clemens ('The Avengers').
The Oval Portrait
Poe's suspenseful and darkly romantic tale of an artist whose love for a portrait kills the sitter is embellished into a generations-old curse set in the Civil War era. Featuring a score by Les Baxter (Corman's Fall of the House of Usher).
