Edgar Allen Poe's Tales of Mystery & Imagination

Poe may have inherited his dramatic streak from his grandparents, Henry and Elizabeth Arnold. They married in 1784 while they were actors at London’s Covent Garden Theatre.

You’ll sleep with the lights on after watching these tantalizing, terrorizing tales. Take a journey into the macabre as Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars, Count Dracula) guides you through eleven classic horror tales from the nightmarish pen of the Master, Edgar Allan Poe. Untimely deaths, loss, mutilation, agony and revenge fill these vivid dramatizations of The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Masque of the Red Death and seven others. DVD extras include a biographical portrait of Poe.
