Between 1960 and 1964, the legendary Roger Corman created eight
motion pictures that have become known as the "Poe Cycle",
elevating the careers of both himself and Vincent Price to cult
status around the world. Nearly half a century later these films
are staples in most DVD collections of anyone who admires the
cinema of the Fantastic. This is the long-awaited book that details
and analyses these highly important films. This book has been 30
years in the making! Nevermore will include: Hundreds of rare
images never seen before from each film; Commentaries from Vincent
Price and Roger Corman; Special observations by Barbara Steele,
Elizabeth Shepherd, Joyce Jameson and Hazel Court as the leading
ladies of the series; Exclusive interviews with the actors and
artisans that made the Poe films; Rare poster art from around the
world; Extra material on the Poe films made after Corman with
exclusive interviews with Gordon Hessler and Samuel Z Arkoff.
Archivist and film historian David Del Valle in collaboration with
Professor Sam Umland have fashioned a film-by-film analysis of
Roger Corman's Poe films including the Poe-inspired films made
after Corman left AIP to pursue other projects. The unique
combination of Professor Umland's insights into the literary
landscape of Poe in concert with Mr Del Valle's twenty five years
of research interviewing all the participants in the Poe series now
culminates here. This is the "dream within a dream" for aficionados
of these films which have never left the imagination of the
generation that grew up watching them.
