Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Außergewöhnliche Geschichten

| Three directors each adapt a Poe short story to the screen: "Toby Dammit" features a disheveled drugged and drunk English movie star who nods acceptance in the Italian press
 and his producers fawn over him. "Metzengerstein" features a Mediveal countess who has a
 love-hate relationship with a black stallion - who, it turns out is really her dead lover.
 "William Wilson" tells the story of a sadistic Austrian student with an exact double
 whom he later kills.
