[emogothpunk15]

diz is da best way 2 pull an all niter lol

[jroeder0]

I dare anyone to watch this with their lights off

[QuestionableSidedish]

I don't think they could have found a better voice for this than that of James Mason. Such fantastic artwork, too. It all comes together wonderfully to tell this classic, dark tale.

[Nueroactive]

I always hated Edgar Allan Poe he is was terrorist!

[jimbobhk2009]

@Nueroactive really? who did he terrorize?

[MrSerling1]

Fantastic !!!!!!

[moviechick9620]

sooo sooo so good....

[TheHamishbatten1995]

This is soooooo abridged.

[Willster7471]

Hmmmmm?!?!?!

[MrShuffleRocks]

I think the heart beating was his own

[daltonssjunior]

-- louder! -- louder! --louder!

[BlackOpLego]

[DemonLenxXiao]

[TheCosplayFreaks13]

[hanneesh]

[Icey90090]

[blootoober]

sonny is a faggot

[Swiperlover1998]

It's ok. But it's nothing like the real book. But still. It's pretty good. Lol I love how creepy his voice is!(:

[thelodo1234]

i dont get it

[bman47421]

this was rated X when it came out and I watched thin in English class recently. I find that weird

[Roachtrix]

Forget Shakspeare! Poe's my main guy! LOL

[EmoKitehX3]

Edgar Allan Poe is a timless man. His works always leave me with chills and dark apreciation for him. I am a huge fan and always will be. After hearing the story for this one millionth time, I believe i will go read my book of Edgar Allan Poe's compleate works. Dark tydings to all. ;) <3 <3 <3

[LadyJackman4Ever]

Ooooh my God... James Mason's voice is sooooo creepy... Love it >:)

[ZammyEngelProduction]

This is nothing like the original..this sucks.

[sugihara725]

I saw this in english class

[elephantboy24]

@sugihara725 me too!

[inorganicgrain]

@sugihara725 me too

[inorganicgrain]

@sugihara725 we read it like a text and the way that he wrote it was very weird so im trying to figure out , i have alot of question and things that i didnt understand , it would be great if we team and find out what is exactly happend

[dx4life23dx]

@sugihara725 I saw it in reading lol.

[WickedJ133]

James mason has that Vincent Price-ish vibe in his voice

[tokiopanicfanx4y]

Gaah, I'm writing a screenplay for this story for English class. I'm not done, but I wanted to see what others did with it. Actually, the ending where he's in the prison - I already had a similar idea just like that. I liked the art, but they simplified the story A LOT. Not saying simplified is a bad thing, but its different then mine cause i'm going by the book. Wished they used the phrase "much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton."

[lulzATyou2]

I watched this in my english class its great

[sugihara725]

@lulzATyou2

me too!!

[TheTalentedAngelica]

you guys find this creepy? i find it awesome :)

[SarahhhAngel]

[Relicix]

[emoelmo095]

Hey all I'm not the brightest bulb and I've rewatched this so many timess and must ask.

What in the hell is the contrast of this! I just don't get it! And i'm not trying to cheat i just need a nudge in the rite direction.

[moviechick9620]

[LoveMe06HateMe]

[ellen3367]

My two favorite people: Edgar Allan Poe & James Mason

[Enigma3650]

Best piece of literature I was exposed to in the 6th grade :') and again years later on my own- while taking an honors english class :'D

[discolives79ify]

4:28-4:36. Well...

[AaronThibeault]

Love the film. You should check out my rendition of Edgar Allan Poe Spirits of the Dead cinematic short. Hope you like it.

[TheStormchaser12]

This thing made my heart pound like CRAZY... It seemed like it was in my throat... And I had goosebumps going over my body like a wave.

[RobVishnu]

Fucking sublime!

[Guido25897]

Just because it's set hundreds of years ago doesn't mean the quality has to show it.

240p. -.-

[vic7ndify]

This isn't that scary I'm 13. And its not scary, just creepy

[jimbobhk2009]

i didn't need to sleep tonight anyway 

[NotSoSilentBob2627]

@jimbobhk2009  You win! Congratz five stars. Lol of the day.

[tyshadowlord]

@jimbobhk2009 agreed

[ceebbees12345]

my language arts techer yelled so hard that i shook....evrybody else screemd

[drakeluver101able]

i watched this in school. me n my friend was scared!!

[shockraid1]

What's weird is that there really isn't that much animation in the whole thing, yet it's still eerie and effective.

[go355]

My Great Grandfather, Fred Grable, Helped animate and Direct this...

[OhmgrownCron]

This guy is too cool

[rox00091]

i watched this when i was 9 and i was terrified!

[bean0329]

am I the only one who read the story and thought a woman was the one to kill the vulture-eyed man?

[34LOLWTF]

Edgar Allan Poe had such a great mind, this is my favorite of his works.

[xtremanater321]

i thank my english teacher for showing me poe

[margoDbrown]

I always thought "the beating of his hideous heart!" was that of the narrators, and he had mistaken it for that of the old man's.

[GamingJesters]

@TheDeetin Just as yourself

[GamingJesters]

The "beating of his hideous heart!" speech gave me some serious goosebumps.

[WhattheXbox]

This is gonna give me nightmares. TTTTTTTTTTTTTATTTTTTTTTTTTT

[ulikepiencrap]

Watchin this made me feel evil..

[AndyDobeson97]

lol at 3:05 when i watched it at my school the computer froze

[RexMan93]

Thumbs up if you were suppossed to "read" it

[TheQueenofMars]

I got chills. Wonderfully done!

[telltalemse]

I recently published my book and if you're into Khalil Gibran and his messages about humanity, or other writers like Thoreau or Orwell, you will most probably enjoy the messages in my poetry too. Specifically those of Part 1, and Part 3. I would appreciate it so much if you could take a second to check it out...

htt ps: // ww w. createspace. com /3675787

[greenybolt]

In love with this piece of art.

[who3697cares]

James Mason's voice is so sexy. Why is his voice so sexy?

[LegendzSik]

That blew my mind.

[Mrules123]

[Ginfrcali]

@heavymetalmom05 Actually we learned this in school! what a coincidence.

[SoftballCB23]

[lizard277]

While I was watching someone walked in the door and I jumped a mile •_•

[58daydreamer]

very chilling

[havering1]

I've been a Fan of James Mason since I was nine years old. I'm 46 now and still adore him. And as to Poe? I can recite 'The Raven' so maybe that gives you an idea.

[TheCrafterMan]

Sounds like an older version of Stewie ;D

[Buzz0Killington]

I went to Edgar Alan Poe Elementary School. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[MrDarktwister]

86.people thin they are sane but their not

[degiusti1]

[casestudyification]

I wish I could have seen this as a kid. It would have scared the crap out of me! (It's scary enough now.)

[HollywoodGirl2104]

[Edgarallanpoe95]

[rosytaylor621]

Still creepy. Makes me wonder what people hear listening to this 100 years ago.

[rosytaylor621]

I heard this 8th grade. Edgar Allen Poe gets mentioned by Mr. Feeney Boy Meets World

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

I teach this is English Lit and I have to mention my students are very pleased this version exists!

[21BlueBabe]

As big of a Poe fan that I am I had no idea that Columbia films had made a short for it

[mravantgarde123]

this thing creeps me out, and if it creeps you out- that means edgar allen poe did a good job at writing this story!

[XxmcrroxmysoxoffxX]

Poe was such a dreadfully brilliant man..and this video worked beautifully with it. What a wonderful job.

[PattyDLuffy]

@heavymetalmom05 The truth is in my school they didn't even mention him :(

God bless the internet!!

[Myytmovies]

why is this rated x?

[Toad978]

@Myytmovies I agree why?

[finncourtland]

im a GREAT fan of mr POE^^

[1Thunderfire]

Listening to this with headphones is pretty freaky when you can hear that heartbeat. I'm glad I'm doing this for English Literature.

[ThatsingingGirl101]

Good job ! This is prettttyyyyy creepy. Kudos.

[The12Austin]

Thumbs if you are watching this in english XD

[SchonDeysii]

Oh Edgar Allen Poe! You brought me nightmares as a child, but I always refused to put your work down.

[sourpatchsparkle]

Oh yes...the original master of horrors and nightmares. Poe is the cause of my biggest vice in life...scaring myself, on purpose. Thank you Mr. Poe for all your wonderful pieces of written art.

[Khrysalisify]

to the people who disliked this it went over your head, because this was good.

[nickerdoodle95]

this is sick. hes probably the best dramatic/horror/suspense writer ever. and look at 3:18 haha

[DumberEveryTime]

Edgar A. Poe > (Stephen King + Stephen King + Stephen King + Stephen King)

[DEAgger93]

Oh my. That was just fabolous. What a true masterpiece!

[crazyfunny892]

[ApachenMe]

Is it bad if I have a mind like Edgar Allen Poe?

[4everRaikou]

@ApachenMe no if it will make you feel better my minds the same and i'm related to him somehow.

[casestudyification]

@ApachenMe I don't know- can you channel your madness into something creative, or are you gonna take an axe to all of us? : )

[TheExoticAnimal]

@ApachenMe No just means your really smart and cool :)

[M16Ben]

I read the poem by myself and at school in 8th grade. I also watched a a short film of the poem and that was scary too. I read on Wikipedia that the main character of the poem has neurosyphilis, but I am not sure.

[StocaBAMF]

i watched this when i war realy young.I was scared sh*tless...........But now i find it realy interesting

[xXTheDarkLemonXx]

[corpsgrinder2112]

[LiveLaffLove1]

[AjaxW1]

@GuitarRocker2008 Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

[clappersox]

[TheBouncingBannana]

summery of tell tale hart: suer i killed a guy because of his eye,sure i cut him to pieces and hid him under the floor boards,and sure i could still hear his hart beat even after it stopped,that doesn't make me mad - it makes me quite happy!

[MissJbree]

i actually like this story but yes i'm here for my college english class. I also read this in high school in 10th grade....

[AnaCarolPQ]

ok, watching this for school....

[Junabeeiswild]

Loved it ...again as it never grows old. A wonderful bed time story.

[dltanner99]

Horror novel see video book trailer

[EvilMonkeyAbq]

I remember viewing this in class. It was on a film projector back in the 70's. I loved it then and it was good to see it again. I wonder if it is availible on dvd or as a download. Thank you for uploading this.

[nozomi832]

omg is everyone for ridgeway??

[97dce]

[silverwolfangel]

@97dce

What is it you don't understand?

[cscdigitalgraphics]

Masterpiece! Even an animated short film like this can generate so much horror. Edgar Allan Poe was one of the greatest story tellers. This film brought his story to life.

[TheTrubleboy]

[potatochips512]
