Billed as having been "suggested by" Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 poem of the same title, excerpts of which are quoted at a few points in the film, it was adapted from an original screenplay by David Boehm. Lugosi stars as a neurosurgeon obsessed with Poe who has a torture chamber in his basement, and Karloff plays an escaped murderer on the run from the police whom Lugosi manipulates into doing his dirty work. ## Credits - **Director:** [Lew Landers](https://cinepixo.com/people/lew-landers) - **Screenplay:** [David Boehm](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-boehm), [John Lynch](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-lynch-3) - **Original Music Composer:** [Gilbert Kurland](https://cinepixo.com/people/gilbert-kurland) - **Producer:** [David Diamond](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-diamond) - **Director of Photography:** [Charles J.
