Summary: "Darkness There" explores Edgar Allan Poe's dark romanticism through the fictional blending of his life and stories with authentic historical artifacts. Shot on location at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum and Maymont Gardens in Richmond, Virginia, the film focuses on the atmosphere and mythology that surrounds Poe. In a style that references classic cinema, "Darkness There" visually presents the macabre while questioning our contemporary relationship to Poe, the man, and to Poe, the myth.
