Tales of Classic Terrors

Studio71
About this episode

It’s important to know where things come from. Whether it’s an old locket that beckons for you to open it, an entity that whispers to you in your dreams, or the inspirational origins of your favorite scary stories. If we’re to know how to proceed forward, we must know the shaky steps it took to get where we are now. These are Tales of Classic Terrors. First, our modern reimagining of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Masque of The Red Death. Next, an art collection displays deadly secret. After that, a home housing a negative being within it. And finally, a homebound man spirals into madness in Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven.
