From the mysterious and macabre writings of Edgar Allan Poe, these chilling stories are brought to life through "theater of the mind," featuring live voice actors, vintage microphones, and an on-stage crew producing real-time creepy sound effects. Let yourself be swept up in the world of darkness.
The eerie radio play intertwines four of Poe's most popular macabre tales into a continuous, single-act performance:
The Tell-Tale Heart: Focuses on a caretaker who attempts to justify the murder of an elderly man—driven by an obsession with his "vulture eye"—but is ultimately driven to confession by the relentless beating of the dead man's heart.
The Cask of Amontillado: Montresor narrates his revenge, luring an intoxicated Fortunato deep into his family's catacombs and walling him up alive.
The Black Cat: Follows Bedloe, who attempts to conceal the murder of his wife in his cellar, only to be brought to justice by the vengeance of a monstrous cat.
The Raven: Explores the descent of a grieving, catatonic poet who is visited by his darkest guilt and the ominous, repeating presence of the Raven.
