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.

Check out the latest press in Rue Morgue magazine!

"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).


David Mamet's

AMERICAN BUFFALO
