The LOST fan in me is always happy to see some of the cast members up to other things, especially some of the characters who were only on the show a short time. Dr. Arzt (Daniel Roebuck) was one of those favorites, for sure. He’s producing and starring in an audio drama, Poe Poe Pitiful Me, that will be out this October. Check out all the details below.

Daniel Roebuck and Kevin Herren are teaming up to produce an original ALL-STAR audio drama POE POE PITIFUL ME

Producers Daniel Roebuck (HALLOWEEN 2, WALKING DEAD, LOST, Dr SHOCKER’S VAULT OF HORROR) and Kevin Herren (THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, TALES FROM BEYOND) are teaming up to produce an original ALL-STAR audio drama POE POE PITIFUL ME.

Hosted by Dr Shocker, our story follows struggling writer Edgar Allan Poe as he pitches three of his original stories to a publisher. The three Poe stories – THE OBLONG BOX, THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO and PREMATURE BURIAL – stay true to Poe’s original writings with only minor changes in dialogue.

“This Audio Drama will be a little different than the rest of the ‘Macabre Mansion Presents’ series.” Herren said. “It’s going to be a comedic fictional day in the life of Poe with three of Poe’s short stories being played out inside the fictional piece. It’s three audio dramas within an audio drama.”
Roebuck and Herren have a history of working together on Audio Dramas. “Danny and I have worked together on previous Macabre Mansion projects including THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW and A CHRISTMAS CAROL” he said. “I am especially excited about this Audio Drama because it’s the first time we’ve teamed up as co-producers and collaborators on a project.”

Roebuck is also the host of another Audio Drama series that Herren co-produces with Jim O’Rear titled TALES FROM BEYOND.

Giving listeners some visual insight into what goes on behind the scenes, a “making of” documentary DVD will also be produced in conjunction with the Audio Drama project. Look for both the Audio Drama CD and DVD to be released around October 2014.
