I’ve been a big fan of the the films of Debbie Rochon for some time now. I’ve worked with her on numerous projects and she’s always classy and professional. She’s a true SCREAM QUEEN in every sense of the word. Hearing about her new project, Tales of Poe, I knew it was something right up my alley. The movie is getting put out by Wild Eye Releasing and will be a horror anthology based off of the works of the Master of the Macabre.
“A loving tribute to the work of one of history’s greatest horror writers.”
— Rue Morgue Magazine
“A truly stylized take on Poe’s work and just brimming with beauty,
elegance and downright horror.” — HorrorMovies.ca
“Something very special to the horror genre…
both beautiful and horrifying.” — Hacked in the Head

Co-directed by Bart Mastronardi and Alan Rowe Kelly and co-written by Michael Varrati, Tales of Poe combines the classic horror prose with the star power of legendary scream queens Adrienne King (Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part 2), Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Halloween 2), Amy Steel (Friday the 13th Part 2, April Fool’s Day) Debbie Rochon (Model Hunger, Hell Town) and Lesleh Donaldson (Happy Birthday to Me, Funeral Home).
Based on the timeless works of Edgar Allan Poe, three of the renowned author’s most popular stories (The Tell Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and Dreams) receive unique retellings by directors Bart Mastronardi & Alan Rowe Kelly. Offering a compelling and shocking journey into madness and the macabre, Tales of Poe features some of the most beloved final girls in horror movie history in new and exciting roles.
