Vincent Price interview on the set of The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we— Of many far wiser than we— And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE.

Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe

Kissing in the Rain, Episode 4 “Edgar & Annabel” [x]

Happy 56th birthday, Pelle 🖤 This is too quick, sorry. The poem is already known but slightly modified to a masculine sense, these are fragments from Lenore, by E. A. Poe, and the drawing, again, is in the style of the comic "Lenore, the cute little dead girl" <3

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” -Edgar Allan Poe "The Raven"

(Not my art nor do I know if it's "AI" I just don't give a fuck thanks have a great fucking day!)

from Edgar Allan Poe's ‘The Bells and Other Poems’, 1912

“What is written, sweet sister, On the door of this legended tomb?" She replied—"Ulalume—Ulalume— 'Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!”

Midnight Pals: Sorry if i scared you

Mae Murray: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i all this the tale of the girl who gets possessed by her sentient abortion Murray: but don't worry, this abortion just wants to have fun Murray: abortions just wanna Murray: they just wanna Murray: abortions just wanna have fun

Murray: so this story is about odie Dean Koontz: :) Murray: who is NOT the dog from Garfield Koontz: :(

Murray: odie has an abortion but it doesn't really take Murray: instead it possesses her body Murray: and makes her dance Murray: and kill her rapist Mary Shelley: haha yes… YES! Murray: and also some shitty cops George Romero: haha yes… YES! Romero: ACAB, baby!

Murray: as a real southern queer, odie goes to the big queer club in Little Rock Murray: she looks around at all the real southern queers, real salt of the earth folks, not like those fancy pants snob queers you get up in New England King: hey! King: now hold on a gosh darn second here!

Murray: as a southern queer, odie thinks about how much pride she has as a southern queer but also as a member of the southern queer community Murray: as a southern queer, you gotta express your pride

King: gosh mae there's some pretty unbelievable stuff happening in this story! Murray: you don't believe a woman could be possessed by a sentient space abortion that leads her to kill her rapist? King: no i mean King: i didn't know there were queers in the south Murray: Murray: you've never been lower than new Hampshire have you? King: whoa i don't go to new Hampshire! King: i heard there's dragons there

King: but actually i was referring to this bit where armadillos eat a corpse King: i mean, come on, really? King: i just don't buy it

King: I've seen armadillos and, goshdarnit, those little guys are just too cute to be corpse eaters Barker: what about the possum? you don't object to the possum? King: oh a possum would 100% eat a corpse

Barker: but it's equally cute King: it most certainly is not Barker: have you ever even seen a possum clive? King: awful animals Koontz: i think all animals are good Barker: hey that's real nice dean

Murray: what do any of you even know about armadillos? Murray: you're all a bunch of high falutin' yankees Murray: as a real southern queer of the real south Murray: i know armadillos

Murray: i'm real southern pride! Murray: i eat the cheese dip trail and shit E. Fay Jones's Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs!! My daddy was the deliverance banjo boy and my mama was a big pot of okra!! Barker: how mushy was that okra? Murray: SO MUSHY!

Murray: after having completed everything it needed to do, the sentient abortion says "i have to go now. my planet needs me" Murray: that's right, it was from space the whole time! Poe: that raises a lot of questions Murray: we're not gonna talk about that

Murray: anyway, who's up for a real southern treat? Murray: i brought you all some deep fried chicken innards! Poe: King: Barker: Koontz: Lovecraft:

King: when you say innards, you mean meat right? Murray: um well Murray: it's technically "meat" in that it was part of an animal

Murray: you know those parts that you usually don't eat, on account of them being too disgusting? Murray: you know, the parts generally considered unfit for human consumption? Murray: that you might feed to a dog that you don't particularly like? Poe: King: Barker: Koontz: Lovecraft:

Mary Shelley: sup fuckers? Shelley: i hear you got the forbidden meat? King: mary no! Shelley: i'm not scared of no meat, i'll give it a- Shelley: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT Murray: deep fried bladder Shelley: ewwwww Shelley: you deep fry it????

Shelley: that's disgusting, that is Shelley: where i come from Shelley: you don't deep fry that shit Shelley: you put it in a pie

Murray: oh i got a pie for you Murray: real heads know

Why do we literally never talk about Saw 5's Pit and the Pendulum references....

THE FIRST SCENE HAS A HOE BEING SLICED IN HALF BY A PENDULUM FOR GODS SAKE

Also the fact that it opens with the pendulum and ends with the walls closing in DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AUGHHHHH

Vincent Price and Peter Lorre //

Tales of Terror; The Black Cat (1962) dir. Roger Corman

[marydarkblacknoir]

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand —

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep — while I weep!

O God! Can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe, A Dream Within A Dream

I have a question in Daniel's note he had the name Lenora as possibly one of his daughters, do you think this could be a reference to The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe or Lenore by Gottfried August Bürger? Also spoilers for anyone else reading but Louis taunting Santiago mentioned a Lenora from his past as well.

I JUST read about that ballad in the Bram Stoker biography (“Something in the blood“), since the famous quote “the dead travel fast“ is from there!

As such I would bet it is at least a nod to it by the writers, like so many things in the show are a nod to Dracula (blue lights on bridge, Come To Me etc).

Kate is the other name on that notepad iirc - given Lenore is the woman in the ballad it could be that we are looking at the names of one divorced wife and Daniel‘s (one) daughter here. Or maybe both, who knows.

“The Raven“ refers to Lenore as a dead wife - we do not know yet if one of Daniel‘s wives is dead but it could also just be a metaphorical death (of marriage), since Daniel seems to be afraid for her.

“Lenore“ is also a play based on The Raven(!) - however that seems to be more contemporary - still, that could be another nod there, for Santiago. Likely.

In any case - NO, I do not think this a coincindence :)
