I loved Poe ever since I saw the Simpsons version back when I was around 10 but hearing Vincent Price narrating Poe/acting Poe out etc is just simply perfect.
we were working on this story yesterday. its awesome my E-Lang teacher is a die-hard Poe fan. he even has the Edgar Allan Poe action figure still in the pack! who would of thought they had that? well, i should be doing my homework on this story, so ya... XD
ok im 13 and im auditioning to be in plays at my local college and i wanted to do a small part of tell tale heart,like a monologue,and after i got started i,i noticed i didnt know the proper emotions or way to say it and i looked this up and wow....this has got to be the greatest interpitation of tell tale heart i have ever seen...all i can say is one word..BRILLIANT.
Mr. Price, how I miss you so! I wish to have met you once but alas my age denied me so. May you rest in eternal peace as your legacy lives on. Forever you are alive!
i have never heard or seen of this man but i think the story is really really interesting and this man is very talented :) they should make a short film of this with added bits to it
A couple years ago in 8th grade, we watched this in class, and everyone kept making fun of him. I thought this was awesome. I think it's because I was the only one who even knew who he was throughout the class.
@shayankilla123 you think Vincent Price is boring? Watch some other things he did, or even better, listen to it.
Every word that passes his lips is so perfect in his voice. I would love to be in that class, a whole period just Price. I would close my eyes and just listen to him..
I love Vincent Price and Edgar Allan Poe. The ending is the best because he gets REALLY into it. This is my favorite. He gets more excited in this than Cask of Amontillado.
wow this is magnificent when i first listened to this i was like wow this author and man who is playing this is amamzing edgar allan poe is one of my favoritve authors and he brilliant thanks for postin maybe you can post more of his work thnks =)
In all meanings i must say that nothing enthralls me more than reading Poes works. They are truly masterpieces all of them. But Vincent Price was a god! His acting can not be compared by anyone elses, dead or living. I love this.
I saw this same story portrayed 35 years ago on some talkshow. Darren McGavin did the reading and it was so incredibly gripping. Vincent Price does an amazing job here.
if all short stories or poems were reenacted like this, it would make them so much more interesting. This helped me understand the story better along with capturing the moon and feeling of the story. I'm writing a research paper on this so now i have a clearer mind on what to write. Thanks!
I read a few poe stories that mention this 'over occupation' with sound and sights, he called it "monomania" in one tale about an obsession with a womans teeth unto taking them out , interesting the EYE and the sounds in this one, I LOVE VINCENT and this is awesome
when you throw tim burton in the mix of the two all ready great men, you get the BEST short movie in the world. vincint maloy. they are all sooo great!
God I love both men :) Vincent was awesome and Edgar Allen Poe was my insperation growing up :) I am an author/writer/poet and this is sheer music to my heart :) Thank you for the uploading of this video :)
There was no dismemberment in the original text. It wouldn't have made sense. He couldn't have dismembered the body without some blood being present and the odor of blood, etc. would surely have tipped the policement off.
This was STILL a great performance. I'm doing it for my 6th graders Monday.
This scared the mess outta people back in the day. It's a testament to how something can be extreamly effective without constant swearing or special effects. I find that when the author wants me to use my imagionation, it's scarier then anything.
There is NOBODY now or then who can do Edgar Allen Poe like the GREAT Vincent Price.
godness, if someone's is ought to film or tape such a splendid tale, and do it with nothing else than a narrator and a good scenario, this woul be the way to do it, the heck if not. Did not you pictured every scene on your mind and felt traped by the man's madness like it was real?
W0000W , i thought that he did gr8. He acted it out perfectly, i would rate him at an 9...one point less than 10, because at a certain part of the scene, i would have acted slightly different. Other than that, he did gr8. =)
i think i may very well be the youngest viewer you'll get but i adorned this video i have read this story many times and i think this man portrait it in a most awesome way
I agree!!! ScarletFlamia!!!
