Maniac

Based On the book by Edgar Allan Poe

Maniac (also known as Sex Maniac) is a 1934 American independent black-and-white exploitation horror film directed by Dwain Esper and written by Hildagarde Stadie, Esper's wife, as a loose adaptation of the 1843 Edgar Allan Poe story "The Black Cat", with references to his "Murders in the Rue Morgue". Esper and Stadie also made the 1936 exploitation film Marihuana. The film is in the public domain. A restored version was made available in 1999, as part of a double feature with another Esper film, Narcotic!
