NOTES FROM ED CHEVY
I’d like to say that engineering Poe’s tales through storytellers like Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price were told straight from the book. Poe’s stories were not easy done to adapt. Dismantling old Poe stigma and put sign language into theater were fully invested. Sitting in the dark means one thing, Poe is no bedtime writer.
