How can I locate two examples of allusion to the works of Edgar Allan Poe in modern works? I am very confused about this concept and the reference...

You will find allusions to the works of Edgar Allan Poe in many "modern works" including contemporary poems, plays, films, comic books, and cartoons. An allusion is a reference to something, in this case a piece of literature, that is included in another work. The meaning is often implicit lending meaning, background, tone, or theme to the work. Allusions to Poe's nineteenth century writings can be found in contemporary twentieth and twenty-first century movies and plays such as "Batman" and "A Streetcar Named Desire." There is even an allusion to Poe's poem, "The Raven," in the mature cartoon series "The Simpson's." In order to complete this assignment you would find allusions in a contemporary work and decide how it relates to its theme. In most cases, Poe's writing adds eeriness, moroseness, or scariness to the general feeling of the work.
