Legendary horror film alumni lend their voices to animated Poe tribute EXTRAORDINARY TALES.
Although he stalked off this mortal coil back in 1956, the essence of the immortal Bela Lugosi is alive and well in director Raul Garcia’s upcoming animated feature film EXTRAORDINARY TALES, a diverse anthology picture that translates the words of Edgar Allen Poe into beautifully drawn and designed landscapes of color, shape and horror.
But the real hook of EXTRAORDINARY TALES is that it features some of the most revered names in horror and dark fantasy history narrating these classic tales of terror; The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar, and The Masque of the Red Death are all featured and given vocal life by heavy hitters like the late Sir Christopher Lee as well as actor Julian Sands, and director/producers Roger Corman and Guillermo del Toro.
And, of course, there’s Bela Lugosi.
In this exclusive new clip culled from a classic recording, Hollywoods first Dracula purrs out Poes prose and reads The Tell-Tale Heart while abstract, Dada-esque imagery pulses in front of your eyes.
