Poe and Dolan's Cadillac
Dolan's Cadillac is another example of Edgar Allan Poe's influence on Stephen King. King honored Poe's short story The Tell Tale Heart with his short story The Old Dudes Ticker. Dolan's Cadillac is shows the markings of the Cask of “The Cask of Amontillado."
.
Just some quick notes:
.
1. Both are stories of revenge.
2. Both use the idea of being buried alive. Dolan in his car, Fortunato is buried in the wall.
3. Both are told in the first person.
4. Both Dolan and Fortunato die very slowly.
5. Both Fortunato and Dolan have similiar pleas:
.
Poe writes:
“For the love of God, Montresor!”
“Yes”, I said, “for the love of God!”
.
King writes:
“For the love of God!” he shrieked. “For the love of God, Robinson!”
“Yes,” I said, smiling. “For the love of God.”
.
I found this fantastic article that goes into some depth on the subject of the two short stories. Check this out: http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/showthread.php?t=4893

April 6th -- Dolan's Cadillac DVD
April 6th Dolan's Cadillac will come out on DVD and Blue-ray from Eagle Entertainment.
.I'm not sure why I haven't been able to see this yet, but it looks like Dolan will be coming to my small screen soon.
.Frankly, I LOVED this story. That might spell doom for me when I watch the movie, since my expectations will be high. This is a story of sweet -- very sweet -- revenge. The kind of ending many wish Big Jim had found! As dreadcentral.com notes, Dolan's Cadillac is reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe's tale "The Cask of Amontillado."
.According to blueray.highdefdigest.com, "The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include cast/crew interviews, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and B-roll footage. " (I actually don't know what "B-roll footage is.)
