Spirits of the Dead
Histoires extraordinaires
The ultimate orgy of evil
Three directors each adapt a Poe short story to the screen: 'Toby Dammit' features a disheveled drugged and drunk English movie star who nods acceptance in the Italian press and his producers fawn over him. 'Metzengerstein' features a Mediveal countess who has a love-hate relationship with a black stallion - who, it turns out is really her dead lover. 'William Wilson' tells the story of a sadistic Austrian student with an exact double whom he later kills.
