The Raven (2012)
Unfortunately this detective drama fictionalizing Edgar Allan Poe's life wasn't well received by critics or audiences. It starred one of my favorite actors, John Cusack.

The Spectre of Edgar Allan Poe (1974)
This adaptation starred Cesar Romero. It doesn't have much of a presence on the Net, it's not being released on Blu-Ray or DVD, and nobody is uploading trailers or clips from it to YouTube, so I infer it wasn't very good?
