Jeffrey Combs (RE-ANIMATOR) stars as Edgar Allan Poe, a writer tortured by debt, drink, and his dying wife. But what is most haunting to the writer is his bride's creepy cat, an animal that's seemingly possessed by evil. Thanks to the cat's behavior, Poe's own actions become increasingly deranged while he is inspired to write one of his greatest stories. THE BLACK CAT continues the terrifying tradition of MASTERS OF HORROR with its inspired pairing of RE-ANIMATOR director Stuart Gordon and Combs, the film's star. [More]

Reviews for Masters of Horror - Stuart Gordon: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is a great episode, filled with nightmarish imagery and the kind of bloodshed you expect from Stuart Gordon.
The story brilliantly blends Edgar Allen Poe's real life events with those of the first-person narrator of his classic short story of the macabre, The Black Cat.
