Tell tale heart

I like the first long seven-minute video because, first of all, it describes the story in more detail than the other two do. The short one is 30 seconds and a guy yelling words you can’t really hear, the second one does not have the same atmosphere that the first one has. The atmosphere in the first one is spooky and with the narrator talking, you get a feeling of how he thought and the madness in him and also the story becomes more spooky because of the pictures and that his voice is dark and he is very much in character. Because the pictures are dark and spooky some times there is a flash of light, then dark again, it feels like you are inside the madman’s head. The story is very interesting and I thing that Alan Poe was a bit mad to because of his life.
