Gothic indie Tales of Poe arrives arrives on home video in October
Indie horror home video heroes Wild Eye Releasing announced today the October 11th DVD and Digital HD release of the acclaimed horror anthology Tales of Poe. Since the world premiere at the famous Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, Tales of Poe has been met with acclaim and awards on the festival circuit. San Francisco Weekly called the anthology “a worthy successor to the Roger Corman/ Vincent Price Poe films” while Icons of Fright hailed the result as “downright stunning to witness…wickedly adventurous.”
Co-directed by talented New York-based duo Bart Mastronardi and Alan Rowe Kelly and co-written by Michael Varrati, Tales of Poe combines the classic horror prose with the star power of legendary ‘80s horror actresses Adrienne King (Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part 2), Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Halloween 2), Amy Steel (Friday the 13th Part 2, April Fool’s Day) Debbie Rochon (Model Hunger, Hell Town) and Lesleh Donaldson (Happy Birthday to Me, Funeral Home).
Based on the timeless works of Edgar Allan Poe, three of the renowned author’s most popular stories (The Tell Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and Dreams) receive unique retellings by directors Bart Mastronardi & Alan Rowe Kelly. Offering a compelling and shocking journey into madness and the macabre, Tales of Poe features some of the most beloved final girls in horror movie history in new and exciting roles.
This is an atmospheric and clever indie omnibus that is absolutely worth a look.
The October 11th DVD release of Tales of Poe (SRP $19.95) will exclusively include a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes, an interview with co-director Bart Mastronardi, trailers and more.
