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. With his tales of premature burials, ominous birds, and haunted masquerades, Poe's work is a treasure trove of horrifying inspiration. 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. uv3u

Horror junkies might have to wait till 2023 until Mike Flannagan's production of House of Usher premieres on Netflix, but that doesn't mean they have to spend this Halloween without Edgar Allan Poe. There are plenty of cinematic adaptations of the prolific writer's work, but no one understood Poe as a creator or a person better than Vincent Price.

Filming has finally begun for Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher, an  limited series from Netflix that pairs up two of America's greatest masters of horror: Mike Flanagan and Edgar Allan Poe. Though a premiere date has yet to be announced, horror enthusiasts are already gearing up for the show that will adapt several as-of-yet unnamed pieces from Poe's diverse bibliography.

Robert Downey Jr. is riding a career that is only comparable to the one that is currently sweeping Mickey Rourke through Hollywood. Quite ironic considering that the two are starring in Iron Man 2together. While The Soloist may not have set the box office alight last weekend, the Sherlock Holmes should assure some bums on seats. Downey may have the pick of scripts but the comeback kid appears to want to work with only one man - Sylvester Stallone.
