Tell Tale Heart Animation (Thinking Animation Blog)

angie@thinkinganimation.com — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:59:28 GMT

The Tell-Tale Heart is a wonderful animated short film of 1953 based on Edgar Allan Poe short-story. The story told by a mad man has a dark visual with a perfect work of narration by James Mason. It is a UPA Production and was the first cartoon to be X-rated (adults only) in Great Britain under the British Board of Film Censors classification system. Really great - you have to see it....

The Legacy of Grip the Ankle-Biter (Needcoffee.com)

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:51:42 GMT

Well, I've got another reason to visit Philadelphia: I want to meet Grip, Charles Dickens' raven that wound up inspiring Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. No, he's not still kicking--he's rather stuffed. And Curious Expeditions sought him out at the Rare Book Department: This was not the first raven Dickens had owned as a [...]

`To Exalt the Present and the Real' (Anecdotal Evidence)

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:16:00 GMT

In November 1845, a decade before he published Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman wrote an article for Edgar Allan Poe's Broadway Journal about the Cheney Family Singers. They were the children of a Vermont preacher and specialized in what Whitman called “heart singing,” not “art singing.” The ballads they sang were sentimental and topical -- “The Soldier's Farewell” and “My Mother's Bible.”...

I did not get laid. We did not even see the Edgar Allan Poe performance, which was called "Edgar Allan Poe Comes Alive!", by the way. Like he was Peter Frampton or something. The information about the show in the flyer was misleading. It listed the start time as 7PM, but that was when the doors opened. The show didn't start until 8PM. We were at the theater by 6:30 wondering...

I've never been to Baltimore except to change planes, but I'm ready to go after reading Laura Lippman's In a Strange City , a mystery with the Poe Toaster at its center. For more than fifty years, a visitor leaves three roses and a half-bottle of cognac at Poe's grave; he (or she) comes in the wee hours of the morning on Poe's birthday (January 19th). Lippman takes this tradition and runs with it,...
