Video's Valentine SCOOBY-DOO "Kingdom by the Sea"

When we think of Valentine's Day, our thoughts naturally turn to...

...wait!
What???
OK, let's just go with it as we present a never-reprinted story of lost (and found) love from DC's Scooby-Doo #117 (2007), a tale of Poe...I mean woe...that's filled with Easter Eggs!
Find all the Easter Eggs?
Start with the cover caption..."Twice-Told Tales of Terror!", a combination of Twice-Told Tales and Tales of Terror...anthologies of stories by Nathanael Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe...both adapted by producer Roger Corman into movies in the 1960s!
(Since Twice-Told Tales starred Vincent Price, who starred in all the Edgar Allen Poe flicks for AIP, it's usually considered part of the "Poe Cycle"!)
Writer Scott Peterson, penciler Tim Levins, and inker Dan Davis load the story with lots of Poe references both in the script and art.
Did you know that, though considered one of the first gothic horror writers, Poe was also part of the "American Romantic" movement as explained HERE!
BTW, You can read Poe's tragic/romantic poem "Annabel Lee" HERE!
