In the Halloween special of Spookier Times, we take a look at the father of American horror Edgar Allan Poe. His work is captured to near perfection in Roger Corman's collaborations with Vincent Price and screenwriter Richard Matheson. From there, we get a sample of the upcoming short musical "Tick," inspired by "The Tell-Tale Heart." Then, we close out with further recommendations, including the musical "Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe," Raul Garcia's animated anthology film "Extraordinary Tales," Stuart Gordon's film "The Pit and the Pendulum," and "The Raven" short from "The Simpsons."
