RIP SIR CHRISTOPHER LEE EVERY ONE OF YOUR 93 YEARS AND A FEW DAYS WERE AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING ON THIS EARTH!!!! I CRY LITTERALLY MY HEART BLEEDS INTERNALLY ETERNALLY RIP SIR LEE! :'o
This is such a gripping tale, made all the more creepy as read by Christopher Lee and supplied with such music and sound effects. I'm surprised that nobody has ever made a movie out of this tale. It would be a better horror film than most which are made nowadays.
@Nemois "There are some movies about E. A. Poe’s Black Cat but in my opinion they suck." Your opinion sucks. The Black Cat starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff is 10/10 movie. It has little to nothing do with this story though.
Oh, dear...about four and a half minutes into this thing, I had to stop it and go hug and kiss my roommate's cat. It just became too heart wrenching for a cat mom to hear. 😱😭
The stories of Poe always intrigued me ever since I left my first secondary school. To thank the board of whom set the works of Poe as syllabus would not be the first thing one would ever consider in all great consideration. It is in the end that we all die consumed of what work we weaved in our own lifetime. Though only a lowly humble acting student I would like to announce a final Goodbye to Sir Lee for his work and thank you for your contributions towards literary arts by tributing this work.
Wow. Thank goodness I've experienced this poem in the middle of the afternoon... Here's hoping it will not sit and fester in my mind before arising once more before slumber... Mel 🍰🌻
It feels like Edgar Allan Poe wrote this poems for Christopher Lee, even that I know it is impossible. Thanks again for sharing. He was a great actor R.I.P. Sir Christopher Lee.
I know Christopher Lee died and we didn’t want him to but Edgar Allan Poe also died. Who is saying ‘we will miss you’ to the dude who died of alcohol poisoning? No one?
poe and christopher lee , with lenore dance in the bleakness of the dank dense night with the whispers forevermore! As the moon casts it's shadow on the trees it's skeletal limbs linger upon the ground forevermore!
Lol, he visits my dreams too. We have spent some good, albeit creepy times together! I usually end up rolling around in broken glass and slipping in my own blood every time i try to stand back up again though. And all i can think about is what a terrible house guest i am being.
Sir Christopher lee The one and only❤️ absolute gentleman 🥰 and no one could do Dracula like him fantastic in lord of the rings and Star Wars 💕loved him since being a child His presence ,voice ,acting just phenomenal His-long time friend Peter Cushing Vincent price-just unque💋🌹💋
Awesome ! That Voice ! Him and Vincent Price The way They Tell a Story like Nobody else💞 Love N Respect 💕To a True Legend✨ Am Sure Him and Peter Cushing are Catching Up in Heaven 💝
I used to have a black cat that I named Pluto. Had to get rid of him after he got in a neighbor's vehicle overnight and attacked him when he got in the next day. No lie.
Thank you for the video! Lee's voice is stunishing and the production takes you to the exact place of the narration. Any chance you could share the source of the audio. I'm looking for Edgar Allan Poe's works narrated by Cristopher Lee.
This story was the 2nd story in the movie, Tales Of Terror and it was more of a funny story rather than scary. I had always thought the nightmare scene where Vincent Price had played catch with Peter Lorrie's disembodied head was so funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Poe loved his cat, a tortoiseshell named Catarina. He used to send her his love in letters he wrote home when travelling on business. She lay on Mrs. Poe to keep her warm when she was dying, as they were poor & only had Poe's cape to put over her. His stories demand that you confront evil & explore controversial moral issues, in order to understand & --- if necessary --- combat them. He points out in this story that the mutilation of the cat might even divide the narrator from the mercy of God. In an era when animal welfare organizations were just coming into being, his attitude was very farsighted & broad-minded. But then, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar looks at the ethical issues of keeping a dying man on life support, just out of scientific curiosity. He asks, just because we CAN do it, is that enough justification TO do it? He demands that people look at things which make them very uncomfortable --- & that has won for him the most virulent, warped criticism I have ever encountered for any author.
1:54 "Pluto"? There's a name I wasn't expecting to hear for a cat...but given the origins of the name I can't say I would have expected to hear it for a dog either. XD
I wish I could find the text version of this. It's a shorter version and this is why I like it. But I can't find this version as a text. If you do, please help me.

there will never be such a voice like his again!!!!!RIP
Maybe his ghost
Benedict Cumberbatch when he gets older maybe.
Vincent Price was the same Genius with hypnotical voice.
When you need some dark tales you can listen to them :)
Have you heard Nakata Jouji's voice?
"This is Christopher Lee wishing you a very good night."
(His subtle way of saying "Happy nightmares everyone".)
Against the power of time there can be no victory.
RIP

+Mel Jung my thoughts exactly

Can't get better than Christopher Lee reads Edgar Allan Poe
It’s cool when Christopher Lee reads gothic horror stories by Edgar Allan Poe.
This is why you should always be nice to cats. 🐱
This is such a gripping tale, made all the more creepy as read by Christopher Lee and supplied with such music and sound effects.
I'm surprised that nobody has ever made a movie out of this tale. It would be a better horror film than most which are made nowadays.
There are at least two different version one made around the sixties and an updated one in the two thousand something. Check them out.
None of them follow the plot of the story though
There are some movies about E. A. Poe’s Black Cat but in my opinion they suck.
@Nemois "There are some movies about E. A. Poe’s Black Cat but in my opinion they suck."
Your opinion sucks. The Black Cat starring Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff is 10/10 movie. It has little to nothing do with this story though.
@@mmestari That's why they suck, of course.
Oh, dear...about four and a half minutes into this thing, I had to stop it and go hug and kiss my roommate's cat. It just became too heart wrenching for a cat mom to hear. 😱😭
I agree! When he got to the hanging I said out lout "What in the actual F**?!" and stopped it.
@@professorronin9648 I know, right?!?! 😂😭
Blame Edgar Allen Poe. 😒
Yes, same!! Had to pause to breathe... @@professorronin9648

I never get tired of his voice or the stories!😌
I could listen to Sir Christopher Lee's voice no matter what he talks about, and never get tired of it.
Sir Christopher Lee, your legacy shall live on forever. You shall be missed
This is one of the most badass audiobooks i have ever heard in my life.
One of a kind he’s gone but he left us a vast body of work to enjoy for yrs to come so he’s still with us .
Thank you for bringing together two masters: Poe and Lee. Perfect together!!
My favorite novel and my favorite actor. What a great combination!
'The Black Cat' is a short story, not a novel.
I wonder if you actually read any of Poe's
Wow. Thank goodness I've experienced this poem in the middle of the afternoon...
Here's hoping it will not sit and fester in my mind before arising once more before slumber...
Mel 🍰🌻
Thank you for existing. Forever in my memory.
I have a black cat, But Mister Lee is here every day
Goosebumps in September, 2019!
I love Edgar Allen Poe! His Poetry is so DARK!
What a magical voice.
I have always loved the tales of Poe but hearing Sir Christopher Lee narate the tales is Heaven. RIP.
Voice of wonders, through his voice the words come alive. Rip 4 his voice & Poe's words ...
I love listening to or watching anything with Christopher Lee.
Did you know that he was the man who J.R.R. Tolkien wanted to play Gandalf?
True story.
What a pleasant bedtime story. Sweet dreams! Lol
Ah, I love his voice!
Wow, this is awesome! Christopher Lee narrates this so well -- I wish he had been in the movie with Peter Lorre & Vincent Price, too.
my heart goes to you, Sir.. may you rest in peace.. Sir Christopher Lee
Awesome story and awesome reading by the Count
Lee and Poe live through their arts forever in our hearts.❤❤
Our world was immeasurably enriched by his presence. Bless you Mr. Lee.
Rest in peace Christopher
This is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. Creepy and lovely and sad, all at the same time.
@C Mahoney nice of you to correct him but the insult is unnecessary.
Thank you so much for posting this.
Mr Lee’s voice add this dark distinctive feel to the story which makes it terrifying but brilliant at the same time.
It doesn't get any better than Christopher Lee narrating Edgar Allan Poe's work
It feels like Edgar Allan Poe wrote this poems for Christopher Lee, even that I know it is impossible. Thanks again for sharing. He was a great actor R.I.P. Sir Christopher Lee.
Oh yeah I am so in for bedtime stories by Christopher Lee RIP
Great story and great narrator!!!
He’s voice is scary, but I’m happy to be scared by it.
Also it’s 2 am in my country, pretty sure I’m gonna have nightmares after this audio
Fantastic work, Mr. Lee. Thank you.
R.I.P christopher lee!
Christopher Lee and Vincent Price where Amazing actors. Not to mention their exquisite, thundering voice.
Poe is the MASTER of horror! Which is why I have his portrait tattooed on my arm .🤘
*night blade
I know Christopher Lee died and we didn’t want him to but Edgar Allan Poe also died. Who is saying ‘we will miss you’ to the dude who died of alcohol poisoning? No one?

A bientôt, Sir Christopher..
from your second home: Italy
Thank you
This was the first Edgar Allen Poe story I ever read.
Truly one of the greatest narration voices of all time. This is by far Poe’s scariest story in my view.
I can so much imagine Christopher Lee's face uttering the words and the expression on his face.
This is absolutely perfect for going to sleep.
Excellent reading. Perfect!
What a voice! Ideal for such a reading!
rip count duku.
MeBareBear *Dooku ** Christopher Lee
he visits my dreams. he lives on
Lol, he visits my dreams too. We have spent some good, albeit creepy times together! I usually end up rolling around in broken glass and slipping in my own blood every time i try to stand back up again though. And all i can think about is what a terrible house guest i am being.
All my dreams are fuhcking sad cause reality is not better at all
@@budahbaba7856 you know, after reading your comment, I think there might be a bit of Poe in you. *shivers*
I was not expecting the poem to be this long becuz ive never read it before

I think they should check your neighbor's cellar :)

I have had many of black cats.
Well I think it's a reaĺly good narration.
I just sent this link to almost everyone on my cell phone contact list.
Be fair to all, I say.
If any y'all see this, well. Smell ya later.
Listening to it right now Jaron
The nine have left Mnas Morgul...
this guy needs to go to anger management therapy
I’m listening to this with my cat sleeping next to me, on the floor.
Where do you find all these great recordings?
Well, thats why you shouldnt hang cats I guess....
Great reading though, Lee had the best voice for this kinda stuff.
I have a black cat and he's the sweetest little kitty around
Beware its dark soul!!!!!!!!!!!
This story was the 2nd story in the movie, Tales Of Terror and it was more of a funny story rather than scary. I had always thought the nightmare scene where Vincent Price had played catch with Peter Lorrie's disembodied head was so funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You see kids, this is why if you have questionable sanity, you don't become an alcoholic
why didn't you add the poem itself on the video?
The music though-
PETA is gonna be pissed when they hear this.
poe made some messed up stuff.
Heh, but the story does give an explanation of the consequences of being (or becoming) an alcoholic
Wow this is graphic for the 1840s
Victorians weren't really prudish as people think.
@@adamcadle7078 Americans were more vulgar, Victorian norms took longer to infect the US
I wish there was music credit
What happened to the rest of these? I can’t find them anymore.
I'm sad :(
The Simpsons should do a treehouse of horrors episode based on this story.
Poe loved his cat, a tortoiseshell named Catarina. He used to send her his love in letters he wrote home when travelling on business. She lay on Mrs. Poe to keep her warm when she was dying, as they were poor & only had Poe's cape to put over her. His stories demand that you confront evil & explore controversial moral issues, in order to understand & --- if necessary --- combat them. He points out in this story that the mutilation of the cat might even divide the narrator from the mercy of God. In an era when animal welfare organizations were just coming into being, his attitude was very farsighted & broad-minded. But then, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar looks at the ethical issues of keeping a dying man on life support, just out of scientific curiosity. He asks, just because we CAN do it, is that enough justification TO do it? He demands that people look at things which make them very uncomfortable --- & that has won for him the most virulent, warped criticism I have ever encountered for any author.
1:54 "Pluto"? There's a name I wasn't expecting to hear for a cat...but given the origins of the name I can't say I would have expected to hear it for a dog either. XD
What was with Poe and walling stuff up?
What is the music at the beginning of the video 0:09
I wish I could find the text version of this. It's a shorter version and this is why I like it. But I can't find this version as a text. If you do, please help me.
Omg what a creepy story.! 😳
Do you know the song at the beginning?
Welp, some poets get locked down, some don't...
"Offered her personal violence". What does that mean? Genuine question.
