The Masque of the Red Death from 1964 belongs to one of the best horror anthologies ever made. Vincent Price, the king of horror, teamed up with director Roger Cormanto create a series of films directly inspired by the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. For anyone who hasn't read "The Masque of the Red Death," Price plays the wealthy prince Prospero. Amidst...
The Fall of the House of Usher is another famous story by Poe, although this one was put to screen perhaps one too many times. Not every attempt was successful (here's hoping Mike Flanagan does it justice on Netflix) but this one, featuring Vincent Price and directed by Roger Corman, is at the top.

Decades after Price and Corman dominated the horror genre with their adaptations, Keith Carradine starred in another unexpectedly well-made Poe adaptation called Terroir. This movie was inspired by Poe's terrifying story titled "The Cask of Amontillado." Carradine plays a vineyard owner who hires a Tuscan inspector to investigate a never-before-see...
For lovers of surrealist European cinema (or just fans of experimenting with genres), Lunacy is the ideal candidate. This movie by Czech writer and director Jan Švankmajerwas the official Best Foreign Language Film submission at the 2007 Oscars. Lunacy is loosely based on two of Poe's stories, "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" and "T...
Stonehearst Asylum is another well-rated Poe adaptation and pretty star-studded, too - the leads are Kate Beckinsale and Jim Sturgess, with support from some heavy hitters, including Michael Caine and Sir Ben Kingsley.

Although there's a better version of The Pit and the Pendulum starring Vincent Price, that's for people who aren't interested in experimenting. However, for anyone reading about Poe adaptations, the cruel and unusual may be a lot more entertaining. Although The Pit and the Pendulumstrives to be more cruel, it is unintentionally unusual (not to say ...
Italian horror filmmakers have a special place in history. Dario Argento came from the wave today known asGiallo and became one of the most influential horror creators. Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is, besides a movie with a fantastic title, an extraordinary horror show by the Italian director Sergio Martino. It was loosely ba...
In 2013, director Raul Garcia put five Poe tales into an animated anthology. The runtime is just over an hour, so the animated movies are basically shorts, but all are remarkable in their own way. In many ways, this anthology is similar to Love, Death + Robotson Netflix - different tales animated by different artists. RELATED: 10 of the Best Horror...
Vilification of black cats is a tale as old as time, which is proven by the 88-year-old film The Black Cat. Although this stigma leads to aversion towards these majestic furry creatures, there's no denying that the masterfully crafted Poe tale didn't deserve praise. The 1934 version is arguably the best-rated, but it's also pretty legendary, as it ...
Another vision of "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" this time comes from the Mexican creator of supernatural horror and suspense, Juan López Moctezuma. This director didn't make more than five feature films during his career, but he's the most memorable for the vampire horror Alucarda. Despite the director and most crew being Mexican...
