This year for spooky season, I watched all eight films in which Roger Corman adapted Edgar Allen Pie’s writings. My favorite was the first — The Fall of the House of Usher from 1960. I also particularly enjoyed The Pit and the Pendulum and The Masque of the Red Death.
It’s funny that this same year, we got a House of Usher remake. I haven’t watched it yet.

Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964 by horror journalist Chris Alexander is out now in paperback and e-book via Headpress.
It explores the series of eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptions directed by Roger Corman: House of Usher, The Pit and The Pendulum, Tales of Terror, Premature Burial, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and Tomb of Ligeia.
The 150-page book features in-depth interviews with Corman book-ended by critical analyses of each of the eight films along with photographs and stills. Corman also provides a foreword.
Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, Roger Corman's adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and "freely adapted") by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne. Today the series is recognized as unique and sophisticated, one that delivers decadent Gothic chills while exploring ideas of faith, sexuality, psychology and the supernatural.
Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960–1964 is the only book to fully examine this important chapter in horror film history. In-depth conversations with the maverick Roger Corman are book-ended by engaging critical analyses of each of the eight films, which together stand as a fully realized and consistent creative vision.
The book is illustrated with dozens of photographs and stills, many of which have never been published before, and features a brand-new foreword from Corman.
Order Corman/Poe by Chris Alexander.

“lock me down here, and peer down at me like hawks
grinning like a cheshire, like im a mouse you’ve caught
you wait for me to escape your claws, then you bite me
the bites don’t kill, but they never do stop bleeding”
— excerpt from a song im writing based off of the “short” story, Pit and the Pendulum, by Edgar Allen Poe. name undecided and song unfinished
