Scarecrowber: Toby Dammit + [Shhh!]
October 14, 2025
Arguably the greatest of all Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, this Fellini featurette showcases the remarkable talents of Terrence Stamp in one of his most dynamic and demanding roles. Preceded by an otherwise unannounced (yet similarly extraordinary) short adapted from another story by the celebrated author.
Introduced by Scarecrow Video's Jonathan Marlow and extra special mystery guest, author and "Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings reading the poetry of Poe!
The story was originally the concluding tale in the Histoires extraordinaires (Spirits of the Dead) omnibus, excised here for your devious pleasure. Sauced. Sanity, shaken! Shakespeare! Speed, sliced!
[The program includes a bonus short of similar duration which (for legal reasons) will be revealed at the screening itself. All viewers will be sworn to secrecy about its inclusion! Shhh! Secret!]
