One thing noteworthy about Poe's filmography is certainly how diverse it is when it comes to horror. Although he never lived to see his stories and poems brought to life on the big screen, the realm of cinema has no shortage of features and short films dedicated to his work. In fact, Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most adapted authors in film history, next to horror author Stephen King. While The Tell-Tale Heart and The Raven are probably his most famous works, nearly all of his stories and poems have been adapted to the screen in some capacity. With his tales of premature burials, ominous birds, and haunted masquerades, Poe's work is a treasure trove of horrifying inspiration. Edgar Allan Poe is often considered the catalyst of American horror and the godfather of the modern detective story, so it makes sense the master of terror would be the inspiration for many feature films and screen adaptations - here are the best Edgar Allen Poe movies. ![]()
