Poe Comes to Life with "Riddle of the Black Cat"

Hallowe’en is still almost two months away but Riddle of the Black Cat, a Kickstarter-backed short film based on a classic Edgar Allan Poe tale, is bringing the spook a little bit early this fall. Rather than simply look to the famous American writer for tonal inspiration (like, say, nearly every one of the works of Tim Burton) the group of artists behind the project are seeking to provide a more direct adaptation that gives viewers the opportunity to delve into some macabre mystery through a unique visual style.
