- The Avenging Conscience or “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (1914) Director: D.W. Griffith. Preserved by the BFI National Archive. D.W. Griffith’s silent film isn’t coy about its inspirations – its protagonist (Henry B. Walthall) finds a reflection of his besotted feelings for a young woman (Blanche Sweet) in Poe’s poem ‘Annabel Lee’ and later, denied his uncle’s (Spottiswoode Aitken) permission to marry her, draws murderous inspiration from Poe’s short story ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’.
- The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) Director: Jean Epstein. The stark black-and-white photography of this French film, based on Poe’s short story, emphasises the ghostliness of the desolate mansion in which it’s set, a contrast to the ornate richness of Roger Corman’s version released 32 years later.
- The Tell-Tale Heart (1953) Director: Ted Parmelee. This animated story of nighttime murder, carried out under the cover of darkness, is dominated by inky shadows and creeping silhouettes.
- Pit and the Pendulum (1961) Director: Roger Corman. Director Roger Corman reworks Poe’s tale of solitary confinement under the Spanish Inquisition into a riff on ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’, folding in much of its mood and many of its themes – mysterious illnesses, family homes with a malignant atmosphere, hereditary pain, women buried alive.
