Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

With only the slightest basis in fact, this horror film purports to chronicle an incident from the life of Edgar Allen Poe. It has to do with his mad 13-year-old cousin Lenore, whom Poe deeply loved. She is insane and lives in an asylum. Poe visits there and discovers that the hospital is but a facade for a terrifying chamber of horrors.
