The late, great Shakespearean thespian John Carradine left a legacy steeped in the Bard, melodrama, and - not least of all - this remarkable series of oral interpretations of the writings of celebrated American author Edgar Allan Poe. Throw in "Master of the Macabre" theater organist Verne Langdon on a massive 4-manual, 34-ranks-of-pipes Wurlitzer/Robert Morton pipe organ, and you have one of the most dramatically unique listening experiences ever heard by fans and collectors alike. Popular Poe perennials included on this remarkable CD are Conqueror Worm, Ulalume, Annabelle Lee, The Sleeper (Irene), The Raven, and Dream with a Dream, all perfectly preserved for posterity (reportedly digitally-remastered from the actual original master tapes, and it sounds like it!) This two-in-one CD also contains the dark ride-spook show "Halloween Sppoktacular" album, which is all you'll ever need to haunt a house. Both album covers are by celebrated artist Ron Cobb, with the Poe liner notes by Forrest J Ackerman.
