In the late 80s/early 90s, after decades of working independently, Romero found himself working in the Hollywood studio system for the first time with 1988's MONKEY SHINES and 1993's THE DARK HALF.

In-between those movies, he worked on a small anthology film with his old colleague Dario Argento. What was meant to be a larger anthology consisting of four or five segments, with several masters of horror adapting the works of Edgar Allan Poe, became a strange two-part anthology, with only Romero and Argento directing, which barely received a release in the United States.

On this episode, we'll dive into the possible reasons behind why it was shortened to two segments, what Argento's original intention for the project may have been, and why it fell into obscurity.

Join us for this penultimate episode of our Romero/Savini series! The conclusion comes next week!
