This is the worst Edgar Allen Poe related title ever. It does not deserve to be seen. It actually has very little reference to Edgar Allen Poe's stories. The first three stories might have been based on Edgar Allen Poes work, while the last one just contains Romero type flesh eaters at the end that just came off as a way to just fill up time. You can hear the music is actually ripped from other of Todd Sheets' films (Zombie Rampage, Nightmare Asylum) and some of the props are straight from the costume shop. Do not rent this. The film lacks a good audio system, you can't hear dialogue, and we can just hear their voices bounce off of their walls. The gore was actually very cheesy, in that at one point it looked like bed springs tied together to look like intestines. The stories are blocked out by the bad audio,acting,props,and repetitive music. And it is the stories in Edgar Allen Poe tales that make them what they are, bone-chilling. * out of a possible **********.

I like Todd Sheets movies
MrMeatHook5 August 2013
I really do, I love the Zombie Bloodbath series, Goblin, The Shivers, Nightmare Asylum, Dominion, I can even stomach the Bimbo trilogy (in small helpings)... but this movie made me want to stab out my eyes so I would never have to see it again. What's worse is that I actually sat through the whole thing. Everything about this anthology, supposedly based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, was horrible. The acting, the writing, the lighting, the sound, the editing... everything. I know this was made very early in Todd's career, but he even hates the film, and this is a perfect example of why you shouldn't let your friends convince you to release a movie you don't even like yourself.
