After making the festival rounds for a couple years, directors Bart Mastronardi and Alan Rowe Kelly's Edgar Allan Poe anthology TALES OF POE is set to reach DVD and Digital HD this October, courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing.

Written by Bart Mastronardi, Alan Rowe Kelly, and Michael Varrati, TALES OF POE provides 

a unique new spin on three of Poe’s popular stories (The Tell Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and Dreams)

What draws me to this project even more than the Poe source material is the presence of multiple scream queens in the cast, including FRIDAY THE 13TH's Adrienne King, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2's Amy Steel, Debbie Rochon (you probably know her from a ton of films, among them AMERICAN NIGHTMARE), Caroline Williams of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2, and Lesleh Donaldson (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME).

These familiar faces show up in the trailer for the film, which can be seen below and makes it look like TALES OF POE will definitely be worth checking out when Wild Eye sets it loose into the world this Halloween season.
