This Halloween, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror, Edgar Allan Poe, with our all-day POE-A-THON!

Featuring nearly 12 hours of Poe adaptations, we’ve got everything from avant-garde silents to stone-cold classics to a mystery WTF disasterpiece you won’t want to miss. Plus THREE movies starring St. Louis’ beloved hometown horror hero, Vincent Price, and two FREE events.

Each screening is ticketed separately, so come for a movie or two, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it.

“A moment of genuine brilliance from Corman, a master class in villainy by Vincent Price, and a reminder of the enduring power of Poe’s work.” – Fanboys of the Universe

This penultimate entry in Roger Corman’s Poe Cycle is also perhaps the greatest Poe film of all time. Vincent Price stars as the diabolical, devil-worshipping Prince Prospero who reigns over an empire of death and debauchery during the time of the Black Death. Propero’s castle is a haven of depravity amidst the suffering of the plague, but when a mysterious, uninvited guest crashes his lavish masquerade ball, there’ll be hell to pay as the party atmosphere turns into a danse macabre! Featuring eye-popping Cinemascope photography courtesy of DP Nicolas Roeg (who would go on to direct his own horror classic, Don’t Look Now, also playing this month), The Masque of the Red Death finds Corman at his most ambitious, Price at his most chilling, and Poe adapted with the uncanny sense of awe, mystery, and black humor his work demands.
