Corman hoped to remove himself from Poe adaptations and turned The Raven into a comedic effort. In the s and s, Universal Studios adapted several Poe stories - and used others as inspirational jump-off points - primarily starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. These films are usually treated as forming part of the early Univer The title character, a person with dwarfism taken from his homeland, becomes the jester of a king particularly fond of practical jokes.

Taking revenge on the king and his cabinet for the king's striking his friend and fellow dwarf Trippetta, he dresses the king and his cabinet as orangutans for a masquerade. In front of the king's guests, Hop-Frog murders them all by setting their costumes on fire before escaping with Trippetta. Critical analysis has suggested that Poe wrote the story as a form of literary revenge against a woman named Elizabeth F. Ellet and her circle. Plot summary Hop-Frog, Trippetta, the king and his councilors, illustration by Arthur Rackham The court jester Hop-Frog, "being also a dwarf and a cripple", is the much-abused "fool" of the unnamed king.

This king has an insatiable sense of humor: It Came from Horrorwood: Retrieved September 24, The film is an amalgamation of the aforementioned story with other Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado", and it also appropriates the anecdote of "The Sword of Damocles", reassigning it to the character of Torquemada. Opposed to the use of torture by the Church, Maria speaks out during the public execution of a disenfranchised noble family. Torquemada is tempted by Maria's beauty, and atones through self-torture. Confused by these new desires, he accuses Maria of witchcraft and orders that she be tortured until she confesses.

During Maria's interrogation, Torquemada cannot stop himself from staring at her naked body; he orders that she be imprisoned. Maria is befriended by fellow prisoner Esmerelda, a confessed witch.

Discovering that Dolan regularly takes the same route along State Route 71 when traveling to Los Angeles while in his Cadillac, Robinson decides to trick Dolan into missing a detour, which leads the Ca Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.

He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. Poe is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. His father abandoned the family in , and his mother died the following year. They never formally adopted him, but Poe was with them well into young adult Its main character expresses concern about being buried alive.

This fear was common in this period and Poe was taking advantage of the public interest. The story has been adapted to a film. Plot In "The Premature Burial", the first-person unnamed narrator describes his struggle with things such as "attacks of the singular disorder which physicians have agreed to term catalepsy", a condition where he randomly falls into a death-like trance. This leads to his fear of being buried alive "The true wretchedness", he says, is "to be buried while alive".

He emphasizes his fear by mentioning several people who have been buried alive. In the first case, the tragic accident was only discovered much later, when the victim's crypt was reopened. In others, victims revived and were able to draw attention to themselves in time to be freed from their ghastly prisons. The film stars Keith Carradine, who also served as Executive Producer. The film premiered at the Wine Country Film Festival in As Borgo follows the twisted, perilous trail, he descends deeper into an arcane Tuscan underworld, encountering an earth-worshiping wine cult and the dark side of human nature.

With references to Brunellopoli, the great Italian wine scandal of [3] and with cameo appearances from real-world winemakers such as Salvatore Ferragamo and Luca Sanjust, the film brings a leve Star of the Order of the Thistle Nemo me impune lacessit was the Latin motto of the Royal Stuart dynasty of Scotland from at least the reign of James VI when it appeared on the reverse side of merk coins minted in and It is also alternatively translated into English as No one can harm me unpunished. Possible origin of the motto Scotland's floral emblem. According to legend, the "guardian thistle" see Scotch thistle played a vital A procession in the San Callistus catacombs in Rome.

Catacombs are human-made subterranean passageways for religious practice. Any chamber used as a burial place is a catacomb, although the word is most commonly associated with the Roman Empire. The word referred originally only to the Roman catacombs, but was extended by to refer to any subterranean receptacle of the dead, as in the 18th-century Paris catacombs. Barrels of Oloroso at Valdivia Oloroso "scented" in Spanish is a variety of fortified wine sherry made in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles and produced by oxidative aging. It is normally darker than Amontillado. Oloroso is usually dark and nutty.

Unlike the Fino and Amontillado sherries, in Oloroso the flor yeast is suppressed by fortification at an earlier stage. This causes the finished wine to lack the fresh yeasty taste of the fino sherries. Without the layer of flor, the sherry is exposed to air through the slightly porous walls of the American or Canadian oak casks, and undergoes oxidative aging. As the wine ages, it becomes darker and stronger and is often left for many decades. Oloroso Sherry is also the base for many of the sweet sherries developed for the international market, such as Bristol Cream, in which Oloroso is sweetened and sometimes has the color removed by charcoal filtering to achieve a desired effect.

Fool is a novel by American writer Christopher Moore, released on February 10, The novel takes its premise from the plot of Shakespeare's play King Lear, narrated from the perspective of the character of the Fool, whose name is Pocket. In the course of the novel are references to other Shakespeare plays, ranging from short quotations to whole characters—most notably the three witches from Macbeth. While the style of Fool is directed at an American audience, the author incorporates at times Shakespearean vocabulary, archaic syntax, and modern British slang, and obscure cultural terms relating to medieval life, which are explained in footnotes.

In addition, Moore invents humorous British-style place-names for fictitious locations in the story. This novel was followed by a sequel, The Serpent of Venice, released in , which combines characters and plot elements from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and Othello, and Poe's The Cask of Amontillado, while keeping the perspective of Pocket.

One night, after coming home completely intoxica The story was originally published in Strand Magazine in , and was collected later in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an introduction, the story within a story is a classic example of a frame tale.

It is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes his problem solving skills. In , Conan Doyle ranked the story at 11th place on his top 12 Holmes stories list.

Niter, or nitre chiefly British[4] , is the mineral form of potassium nitrate, KNO, also known as saltpeter or saltpetre.

A safety coffin or security coffin is a coffin fitted with a mechanism to prevent premature burial or allow the occupant to signal that they have been buried alive.

Several collections of Poe's prose and poetry followed.

The result is a wine with some of the richness of oloroso and some of the crispness of amontillado. However nowadays cellarmasters have a good understanding of the underlying process and have a good nose for selecting the right casks that have a high chance of developing the Palo Cortado profile. Malic acid, grape varieties, harvest times and glycerol are some of the keys to Palo Cortado production.
