- **Event Name**: HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Vincent Price presents An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe (1970) — FREE!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Oct, 2026 at 06:45 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: “50+ minutes of Vincent Price reading Edgar Allan Poe shorts in his highly dramatized fashion? …YES PLEASE!! What an incredible work of atmospheric storytelling.” – Matt Winfield, Letterboxd

After Vincent Price gave a dramatic reading of Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart to a mesmerized audience on The Mike Douglas Show, executive producer Ken Johnson approached the actor about enacting that Poe story and three others for a television special. It would prove to be a complete tour de force performance, and one the venerable actor considered his greatest ever. With minimal stage decoration, music by Les Baxter, and an abundance of enthusiasm, Price delivers blistering dramatized readings of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Sphinx, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Pit and the Pendulum, each in distinctly different character (and often two) and a full wardrobe provided by his wife and costume designer, Mary. The results are electrifying—the perfect way to spend an hour of your Halloween night.

The full program runs 54 minutes.

This event is not ticketed. Seats are first come, first served. Doors open around 6:30 pm, after the conclusion of HOUSE OF USHER.
