An afternoon with Vincent and Edgar

When it comes to the creepy-cool feeling of All Hallows Eve, few personalities have captured the spirit of the season as well as macabre master poet Edgar Allen Poe, and actor of the abattoir Vincent Price. Price starred in several films in the late 50’s and early 60’s loosely based on Poe’s poems and short stories. The finest of those gothic chiller films was probably The Fall of the House of Usher, with lush costuming, a script by horror master Richard Matheson, and of course Mr. Price’s velvet voice. Way Public Library will screen this horror classic on Thursday, October 31. 2pm.
