Hollywood, CA, March 26, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Writer-Director Justin Paul Ritter, coming on the heels of his critically acclaimed 2005 debut Horror Thriller Feature Film KatieBird*Certifiable Crazy Person, (http://www.katiebirdthemovie.com/) brings back the "Old School" in psychological terror with "A Gothic Tale". Crafting a brilliantly haunting modern day Gothic tragedy, a visually inspired Justin Paul Ritter takes us on an emotional and violent journey that examines love, emotional greed and personal choice, as well as challenges one's own sense of morality, loyalty, and the consequences of spiritual compromise.

Inspired by the most influential and creative minds of classic Gothic storytelling, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nathaniel Hawthorn, “A Gothic Tale” narrated by W.W.E. Hall of Fame Professional Wrestler Roddy Piper (www.imdb.com/name/nm0684929/ ) as the “Homeless Sage”, stars Marshal Hilton as “Mark Heim” in the Lead Role (IMDB www.imdb.com/name/nm0385288/ ), Actress Jamie Hood as “Lillian”, C.J. Baker as “Thomas Heidegger” and Ryan McGivern as “The Stranger”.

Inspired by the Gothic story classics, “A Gothic Tale” (www.Agothictale.com) examines the deconstruction of three tortured souls that will forever be linked in hell at the mercy of one another, because of the compromises they made to be free of one another.
