The 13 Best Edgar Allan Poe Adaptations

"Unlike Lovecraft, whose penchant for profound, indescribable tentacle monsters and cosmic horror went through a recent popular revival (not unrelated to his work's exciting opportunities for effects and makeup artists), Poe's Gothic style has a more mass appeal. His madness is of a far more human sort than Lovecraft's; his deathly horrors far more mundane and inevitable. That means straight adaptations, while relatable, can come off a bit dull and stagey—Poe works flourish when filmmakers use the medium to tap into his characters' troubled psyches. As modern directors continue the grand tradition of adapting Poe, even as the adaptations continue the equally grand tradition of being fast and loose, the diverse world of Poe horror films still delivers."
