NEVERMORE

Jeffrey Combs
in 
Nevermore
An evening with Edgar Allan Poe.
...Prose, Poetry and Perversion...

Celebrate the bicentennial of Edgar Allan Poe's birth with the star of Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine / Enterprise.  Set in 1848, Nevermore is loosely based on real events and follows Poe on a cross-country speaking tour fraught with strange occurrences that signal Poe's descent into madness. Read an interview with writer, Dennis Paoli in FANGORIA.

"BONFIRE PERFORMANCE
Combs’ performance is definitive, so full-blown he does not seem to be so much playing Poe as channeling him."
-- LA Times

"Absolutely electrifying"- Dread Central

"GO ...a gorgeous rendition of a tragic clown whose heart
has been cleaved open by loss and regret...
beautifully directed by Stuart Gordon"
- LA Weekly

"...a must-see for anyone interested in
tales of horror and the supernatural."
- metromix

Written by Dennis Paoli
Directed by Stuart Gordon

(the writer/director team behind
cult classics Re-Animator and From Beyond)

Cartoon Dump

Imagine a world where a children's show has a cast of characters with more psychological disorders than you. Add the mind-numbing debauchery of the worst, most poorly animated cartoons from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, and you've got what Patton Oswalt says is "like a children's show in Bosnia!"

The unholy alliance of noted author, producer and cartoon scholar Jerry Beck and writer/producer/comedian Frank Conniff ("TV's Frank" from MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000).
