NOTE TO OTHER KIDS WHO HAVE JUST FOUND POE'S WORKS: NEVER, and I mean NEVER read ANY Poe works at night. You will NOT be able to get to sleep for about a week. Wrong! I did it and I was fine! Eh, I'm tired. Allow me to indulge my childish side.

Oh gosh, I love Poe! I would love to hear something of his narrated by Vincent Price. Tim Burton uses similar alliteration of The Raven in his short film , 'Vincent'. (If you have The Nightmare Before Christmas 10th Anniversary DVD it's in the extras.)

At the risk of turning Poe into the topic of this thread- I like The Cask of Amontillado and The Pit and the Pendulum particularly.
On topic- this is where it really starts to go wrong for the Baudelaires. I liked the concept of the self- sustaining hot air balloon and I hope we see Hector again.

"The Cask of Amontillado"! Truly nasty, and my favorite Poe story.

We did a whole extra Poe unit in 7th grade because my teacher was fond of him. We watched The Simpsons Raven in class, and I memorized it,

Did Poe go crazy and crazy later on in life after he wrote the raven?

I like The Pit and the Pendulum, but I didn't fully understand the ending. Was he a prisoner of war or something?

If I recall the notes from my short Poe collection - yes, he was.
This is turning into more of a topic on Poe than a topic on TVV. Maybe merging with the allusion observance/discussion thread would be a good idea?
