A special treat on PBS just in time for Halloween is the American Masters special "Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive". This one-hour documentary will focus on the misrepresentations of Poe's character, driven by the confusion of the author with the narrators in his macabre tales of fiction. The show will also explore the reasons for the enduring popularity of his works. A combination of re-enactments, readings, and interviews will reveal how Poe was able to tap into his own experiences in life to create works which connect with readers even today.
"Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive" will premiere on PBS on October 30th (9/8c, check local listings). It will be available to stream the next day on Halloween via pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters and PBS OTT apps. Below are two trailers for the documentary:
"I am actuated by an ambition which I believe to be an honorable one - the ambition of serving the great cause of truth, while endeavouring to forward the literature of the country."
~Edgar Allan Poe, letter to Washington Poe, August 15, 1840
