After the opening title credits, the following handwritten text (from Edgar Allan Poe's first published story, "Metzengerstein" - which is also adapted as the first story of this film) is displayed: "'Horror and fatality have been stalking abroad in all ages. Why then give a date to the story I have to tell?' Edgar Allan Poe."
The end credits are displayed over a sepia-toned or red-tinted (depending on the print of the film) portrait of Edgar Allan Poe.
