A portmanteau film of three filmic adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe tales originally released in 1968, Spirits of the Deadis a must-see by virtue of its inclusion of the one-of-a-kind Toby Dammit, Federico Fellini's amazing adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" featuring Terence Stamp; a crucial document of the era as well as an amazing cinematic experience.  At long last, after the DVD debacle in which a French language print was used as the master, rather than the original, multi-language (primarily Italian and English) version, this Blu-Ray edition gives us the real goods.  The booklet included with the film includes an essays by Tim Lucas and Peter Bondanella along with reproductions of lobby cards and international posters.
