This is the best smile Poe could muster for this daguerreotype taken by Edwin Manchester in 1848.

Edgar Allan Poe would've probably enjoyed to have a film night dedicated to him that was scheduled on Friday the 13th. And that's exactly what he'll get this Friday, September 13, at the Crest Theatre as part of the Sacramento Film & Music Festival. Sponsored by the Sacramento Public Library and the Capital Film Arts Alliance and titled The Poe Project, this special event will feature screenings of 11 locally made films, the release of a new collection of Poe's works from the Sacramento Public Library's I Street Press, a Poe-themed fashion challenge with the Capitol Indie Collective, and an original classical composition by Richard Altenbach inspired by Poe's work. Can't get enough dark humor and morbid wit? Poe-related activities and events will continue throughout October at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria (visit www.saclibrary.org for more information on those). Friday, September 13; 5:30 p.m.; $10. Crest Theatre, 1013 K Street; www.sacfilm.com.
