The original American master of the macabre has been adapted since the beginning of cinema. Here are the best Edgar Allan Poe movies:
Stephen King may reign supreme as the horror author most adapted to film, but that title once belonged to another American master of the macabre: Edgar Allan Poe. Poe died a few decades before the first proto-movies started showing off horses galloping or men sneezing, but his popularity was already established in the U.S. and Europe—and his influence on popular genres like detective and horror fiction was already a noted selling point to the soon-to-be-moviegoing masses.
That meant Poe stories were hot commodities from the jump, making their way to the cinema starting in the 1910s and running through the 1930s, which saw multiple Bela Lugosi/Boris Karloff Poe team-ups. His name, and his stories, were constant exploitation draws, eventually attracting royalty of the form in the ‘60s: Roger Corman and Vincent Price.
