I remember seeing this program on PBS years and years ago in the early seventies. Vincent Price gives a good reading Edgar Allan Poe The Tell-Tale Heart, sounds like a true madman who is trying to convince me and you that he is sane as anyone else.
No one, and I mean no one can read the way that Vincent price does! The man was a true gift and talented beyond words! Rest in peace Vincent, you gave us wonderful moments to look back on!
I agree 1 billion percent that Vincent Price is the best narraotor in the world! :D Vincent Price is beyond any narrator I've EVER heard. That voice! That amazing, dramatic voicee! Along with his grasping face expressions. Ahh.. it gives you chills. Edgar Allan Poe is also genius for such suspenseful, detailed writing! Agh, great combination. That's why this video is so good! I can't imagine if it had never been done..
Edgar allan poe was a very lost soul. He was weak and wary, and no one on this earth will ever understand what he had to go through. You can really tell his pain in his writings, but that's only the tiniest shred of the dread that went through his mind. Rest in peace edgar allan pie, may you finally be happy.
ahhhh vincent price the king of horror and terror, his voice alone van send shivers down your spine, my grate grate grate uncle twice removed used to act along side him in a few films, GOD REST BOTH THIER SOULS
My English teacher taught us about and dressed up as Edgar Allan Poe today. It was pretty awesome. He was telling us about "himself", then read us this.
This was broadcast in the mid seventies if I'm not mistaken. I have it on DVD and it should still be available. Price also performs a few other Poe stories. Just incredible, but I would expect no less from Vinnie.
i remember in 8th grade my fav english teacher read this to us . he covered the windows and turned off the lights and just had a flashlight and he read it sooooo perfectly. this is such a good story! love poe
Vincent Price is one of my all-time favorite actors. He had the ability to scare the hell out of me. One of the movies I love him best in is Diary of A Madman. RIP!
Fist time I heared this tale was several years ago when I bought some Halloween CD tapes that had several ghost stores on it from Headless Horseman to Tell Tale Heart. It was great I'm a big Fan of Vincent Price He is one of the few hollwood stars I wish I had chance to meet before he passed away.
The one thing about Price is that he was BORN to act/read out Poe's work, his voice is beautiful, his acting just as much,nothing beats Price telling/acting out Poe's work, he was a master at it. I have not seen or heard another guy who can do a great job like Price did, nothing else compares to Price, im not saying actors havent done decent enough jobs, they have, just that Price was in a league of his own when it came to Poe's work that there is no comparison.
awesome! i read this story a long time ago.. im currently reading some stuff about edgar allan poe in my English class, i didnt know he had to do with this! thats so cool!
I love the part of this video where he widened his eyes and they make me laugh. They were the funniest pair of eyes Vincent Price ever had in his head.
I love VP and EAP, but come on, there's some scenery chewing going on here! This type of performance plays on stage but not on film. It's still awesome, thanks for posting this.
I have acted this every year in high school i won 3 times and the last year at the very end when "Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!" i made my self cried in a psycho kind of way. i won first prize that year.
Vincent Price is a master at his craft Edgar Allan Poe was a genius. But the thing that's killing me is the stupid commercials get rid of them. I leave when the commercial comes on.
I wish someone could remaster these... Vincent Price is amazing and deserves to be seen in all his glory.
Edgar Allen Poe and Vincent Price...nothing could go together as well as that.
I love the stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe. His work was so dark but incredible.

The most epic paring of all things ghoul: Vincent Price and Edgar Allen Poe.
I remember seeing this program on PBS years and years ago in the early seventies. Vincent Price gives a good reading Edgar Allan Poe The Tell-Tale Heart, sounds like a true madman who is trying to convince me and you that he is sane as anyone else.
Its stuff like this that cements Vincents legacy as a masterful horror actor. No one else there and he plays it perfectly.
Gives me Shivers !! Vincent Price Is/was a CLASSIC !
No one, and I mean no one can read the way that Vincent price does! The man was a true gift and talented beyond words! Rest in peace Vincent, you gave us wonderful moments to look back on!
A master reading the work of a master.

I agree 1 billion percent that Vincent Price is the best narraotor in the world! :D Vincent Price is beyond any narrator I've EVER heard. That voice! That amazing, dramatic voicee! Along with his grasping face expressions. Ahh.. it gives you chills. Edgar Allan Poe is also genius for such suspenseful, detailed writing! Agh, great combination. That's why this video is so good!

Absolutely intense and amazing!! Vincent sure had a unique talent indeed!! ♥️❤️🔥💖
Love it! I'm very proud to live in Mr. Poe's hometown. I've spent many a Halloween at Westminister Cemetary to visit his grave....amazing place...
Even though I’m like crazy late I remember watching this in school and all the class but me and a few others were scared of this performance.
Fantastic, he draws you in!! What a story teller..Thanks for uploading this and thanks to the symbiosis of genius...
I had to watch this for a school assignment but i loved it so much i still listen to it
There will never be another! A Master indeed!
A master class in portraying a disturbed mind...
I just can say.... I love you Vincent!!!
Wow!!! He is such a great actor!!!

This inspires me..
Amazing and fantastic! A true master at work. no one but Vincent Price could deliver Poe's work so well. The best Poe interpretation! ! ! !
My English teacher taught us about and dressed up as Edgar Allan Poe today.
It was pretty awesome. He was telling us about "himself", then read us this.
One of my fave poems
this is one my favorite stories and Vincent Prince makes even AWESOME!!!
I have read The Tell-Tale Heart so many times before. But this takes it to an entirely to level. I'm in love all over again.
This was broadcast in the mid seventies if I'm not mistaken. I have it on DVD and it should still be available. Price also performs a few other Poe stories. Just incredible, but I would expect no less from Vinnie.

Vincent Price, a unique, brilliant talent. This is extraordinary work.
Vincent Price is one of my all-time favorite actors. He had the ability to scare the hell out of me. One of the movies I love him best in is Diary of A Madman. RIP!
Agreed. So scary when I was little, it wasn't what one saw, rather what one didn't. No movie today gets me the way the old horror movies did.
We watched this a few weeks ago; my favorite short story ever!
Wonderful

The one thing about Price is that he was BORN to act/read out Poe's work, his voice is beautiful, his acting just as much,nothing beats Price telling/acting out Poe's work, he was a master at it.

This needs to be on the frontpage of youtube.
Especially for Halloween!
Five stars and favorite-ed.
i saw a black and white version of this one today in school. and it was made in the early 70's.

Vincent Price is probably the best narrator in the world.

I love the part of this video where he widened his eyes and they make me laugh. They were the funniest pair of eyes Vincent Price ever had in his head.
+10.000 mastery for this amazing actor
Why you say he's MAD? No mad man can so carefully planed this so clearly! ^_^

I read this in class!

My favorite peice of Poe literature(:
I love VP and EAP, but come on, there's some scenery chewing going on here! This type of performance plays on stage but not on film. It's still awesome, thanks for posting this.
"would a mad man be so wise?"
We had this story in Literature class
It was epic!
I read this story this week
i love edgar allen poe
I have acted this every year in high school i won 3 times and the last year at the very end when "Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!" i made my self cried in a psycho kind of way. i won first prize that year.
Poe is the benchmark for all great horror writers
Man Vincent Price don't get his credit he's owed. Him and a few others single handedly made horror movies.
Vincent Price is a master at his craft Edgar Allan Poe was a genius. But the thing that's killing me is the stupid commercials get rid of them. I leave when the commercial comes on.
a beautiful man with an even more beautiful voice.... he was really price(less) :)
happy 201st poe
Mr. Poe would be proud of this.
You can ask a ho put in there Sametime 5 times a day
