Every time DeCoteau makes a Poe film,

Edgar Allan does a 180 degree rotation

 in his coffin.

I can see it sticks perfectly to the source material/ -rolls eyes-

@CZWTNAANDINDYZ why does it matter?

[BlockByBlocks]

Anyway, how's your sex life, Mark?

[cha5]

@ARCknus Good point, Although IMHO many younger people from goths to musicians learn something about Poe by the time they reach high school and college, especially if they have something of an outsider status.

Ironic that he's more well known today than he ever was in his lifetime when right after his death Poe's own publisher tried to destroy his reputation and discredit his literary works.

@cha5 Hey is ok, don´t worry! .....and of course I know DeCoteau films aren´t nothing excellent, but mean many ppl today younger than 30 may have no idea who ALLAN POE was (only if they study literature) so then his movies can help a bit to remember him and give a bit of culture,...specially on these day where ppl just watch Tv, listen Music.........or use YOUTUBE in their free time

[cha5]

@ARCknus Sorry about the tone of that reply, but as a Poe purist turning The Pit and the Pendulum into a 'The Pit and the Penis' wank flick really honks me off.

[cha5]

@ARCknus Well that's what John Waters gave us with Divine and those inspired movies of his during the sixties and seventies, God bless him.

@ARCknus This isn't a tribute, it's a straight to video softcore homo-erotic piece of crap with Poe's name on it. :-P

As for Poe liking this flick, That's really selling the man short, Poe's reaction to something like this would more likely be irritation that a turd like this would make more money even on video, than he ever saw in an entire lifetime from his stories.

@CZWTNAANDINDYZ Because Gay audience have right to enjoy Horror Movies too?

[ARCknus]

@cha5 Well!, at least someone remember today his great novels and makes an actual tribute.

Maybe even he would like it:)
