About this product

Product Information

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.
