The Pit and the Pendulum

A combination of the 60s horror film by Nicholson and Arkoff and the song from Eric Woolfson's musical "Poe" performed by Steve Balsamo--all based on the work of literature "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe.
This is a humble fan-edit by the Acetress. I claim no part of this movie. It was too perfect for me not to combine them. :)

i have to do a project about this story, and I have to say: the more i find out about Edgar A. Poe, the more fascinating and admirable he becomes.... I though this was a very interesting movie, but because i have not (and probably will not due to lack of time and sheer laziness) read all of the story,tell me, what did the man and woman coming in have to do with the story? All my partners told me was that there was a man that ran in and saved the tortured man.... is that what that is?

[AceGallagher]

I will admit I can't remember exactly how the tortured man is saved in Poe's story... but I do know there was no man and woman like the ones in the video here. The film version of "PatP" has very little to do with the actual story--just that one guy gets strapped to a pedastal in a pit and there's a pendulum, heh.

Man the movie was WAAAYYYY off. He escaped from the pendulum by throwing meat in the ropes and the rats ate them. After he was almost crushed by fired walls closing in and fell into the pit and then he was saved.

Damned great song & I love this movie. :)

@lyndeskier You're "fascinated" by Poe, but you're too lazy to read a 15 page story for your homework assignment... so you went on youtube to ask for help from someone who uploaded a clip from the 1961 movie? I hope your teacher failed you. Despite how much you "admire" Edgar Allan Poe, have you actually even read anything he wrote?

It should take you less than 20 minutes to read the damn story. What is your problem?

[Sftballgurl7]

I love this movie . My English lauguage arts class watched it (because we read the book) and we all screamed our butts off everytime the scary part came on !! Good times(:
