Eerie Tales (Unhemliche Geschichten) is a 1919 German silent anthology film directed by Richard Oswald and starring Conrad Veidt.
After the old-books shop closes, portraits of the Strumpet, Death, and the Devil come to life and amuse themselves by reading stories--about themselves, of course, in various guises and eras. Four of the stories are literary horror stories (one by Poe, one by R. L. Stevenson), and the last one is a comedy involving a fake haunting. Written by Judy Shoaf
