Edgar Allan Poe

Bradley Nies

In the New York City Asylum for the Insane in 1843, Eliza Clemm tells the story of how she murdered her father, Edgar Clemm. In doing so, she desperately insists that she is not insane and beseeches the audience to understand her hatred for the old man's "vulture" eye. As she is repeatedly told by an unfeeling nurse, a brutish orderly, and the memory of her cruel father that the asylum is where she belongs, Eliza begins to accept her fate and considers embracing her new life among the lunatics. This retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's frightening tale retains the horror found in his original shorty story

The Tell-Tale Heart

n this haunted house, normal is nothing more than a setting on the dryer! In the hopes of providing validity to his book about documented hauntings in Houston, Texas, Rice University professor Dr. Chesley Lawrence invites a local "ghost-hunter" to the home of a woman who thinks her house is haunted by the ghost of Sam Houston. As Chesley doesn't believe in ghosts, haunted houses, or anything paranormal, he and his wife concoct a plan that will guarantee a ghostly sighting before the evening is over. The result is a crazy night of slamming doors, bloodcurdling screams, and hilarious misunderstandings.
