The Tell-Tale Heart


The Tell-Tale Heart, the 1843 short story by Edgar Allan Poe, plot focuses on a murderer whose increasing guilt leads him to believe he can hear his victim's heart still beating beneath the floorboards where he buried him. Seen through the eyes of the nameless narrator, the surrealistic images in the film help convey his descent into madness.

This 1953 American animated short film directed by Ted Parmelee and narrated by James Mason. The screenplay by Bill Scott and Fred Grable. 

Paul Julian served as both designer and color artist for film, and Pat Matthews was the principal animator.
