Poe in the Media


I have seen Poe in movies and TV shows. I have seen a couple. There is a movie staring actor Wes Bentley called The Tomb. It is an adaptation of the story by called called Ligeia. It is about a college professor who falls under the spell of a beautiful woman who is trying to fight death by stealing souls. It sounds weird, I know but I really liked it. At the end at the credits Wes recites a poem that is in the story Ligeia. Another thing I have seen of Poe is in The Simpson's. They did The Raven in one of the Halloween episodes when they were telling stories and Lisa read The Raven. I thought it was funny, especially when Bart played the raven and said Eat My Shorts. I really love seeing our favorite writers' works being made into movies and put in television shows, especially the great Edgar Allan Poe.
