Edgar Allan Poe - The Pit and the Pendulum with subtitles (Read by Christopher Lee)

[@pce0]

The poem is fantastic, but Lee's voice take it to another level.

[@rogueprince1341]

Christopher Lee has the perfect voice to read Poes works. It's just creepy enough it fits perfectly.

[@Kfabiano10]

He could read a pancake recipe and I would not be able to turn it off.

[@styingweird9052]

😂😂😂 yes

[@waynedurning8717]

I tried your little experiment. Now the smell of maple syrup sends me screaming. At Denny’s last week I dove from my booth straight through the plate glass window.

[@aaronpoems7755]

Christopher Lee was the perfect person to narrate Poe. Now they are both legends in death.

[@libellle]

'unclosed' my eyes I'm definitely going to use that in my next exam lol But he seriously has the best voice to narrate these stories

[@melaniemunro6696]

Lol I repeated the line as soon as it was said I love it

[@mangojuic3e]

he could narrate dora it d still be scary what a legend thanks for uploading

[@catherinecrawford2289]

I'm the Map, I'm the Map, said he, The Map!

[@bikechainimmortalis6923]

Dangit; this would have been fantastic before he died

[@WolfMaiden11]

Sir Christopher Lee makes a simple narrative interesting and compelling; no matter how frightening it sounds, you still feel bound to listen to his voice that gives the story life, and you want to know how the latter will end....

[@sfperalta]

Just riveting! The gradual accompaniment of music to Lee's sonorous voice contributed to the sense of horror felt by the narrator. What an excellent work and performance!

[@jameson8682]

Nobody expects General LaSalle

[@samanthadenise3907]

What a Royal piece of art! I could listen to this story 25/8♥ And Christopher Lee makes just that much better Its indredulous how i cant stop loving this

[@Mr_Pickles913]

i think this was one of the best night stories i've ever heard, 10/10 would listen to agien thanks buddy, i subbed

[@Mojo_Mamba]

upon rehearing this story, it is VERY differently than what I remember from 6th grade English class...

[@lolaartemis]

Everything Poe is very different than I remember from school.

[@trufflesquadgaming9378]

Oh my gosh it's scary enough without the awesome narration by christopher lee

[@karmasamsara8567]

It is not complete, yet the voice and the intonation fit perfectly. Still one of my favorite Poe's stories!

[@TheSymphisis]

Once again, thank you for this. Amazing work!

[@nilianny]

love the voice💛

[@LoveitOrHateit-podcast]

Excellent reading.

[@jameslyman5793]

Nice stuff to fall asleep to. Although a warning: You may have some nasty dreams.

[@turtleanton6539]

Simply Supreme

[@deeasztalos2520]

Oh that voice!

[@taphorphicexonyct]

I was always confused by the description of the room, is it a small room with a pit in the middle and he is suspended on such a hammock on the pit with the pendulum above him or what?

[@faranlucavi1673]

He describes a large room, with absolutely no light. He stumbles around several yards until he finds the wall. He walks a fee more yards and falls, with most of his head hanging over a deep pit. He drinks drugged water and passes out. After he wakes, he's tied to a wooden table in a dimly lit room. The bladed pendulum is slowly swinging and descending, he can do nothing but watch.

[@taphorphicexonyct]

Faran Lucavi I see, I thought the room was smaller than it is and so i was confused as to how they would fit the pit and the pendulum and the wooden frame he was strapped to all in one place, thanks I hadn’t considered that idea

[@3DInnovations70]

What version is this? It’s not what my book says

[@councilmanbanks6528]

Same

[@peccaryproductions]

The description says its been edited to fit the narration

[@severiano1265]

RIP Legend

[@vonHannersdorf]

He is (sadly, was) Saruman of many voices!

[@maninblack6575]

The scariest part for me, was wondering what sort of mind depraved of all human intellect and knowledgeable forethought. Did drag from the very pit of Satans rectum and then added that music over the narration!

[@arandomvillager488]

Thank you count.

Is this the whole thing? Other audio options were much longer

[@karmasamsara8567]

It is not: the original story is much longer: poestories.com/read/pit

[@marcuswilson1494]

This story embodies no entertainment, for a good night. This story, as the others from Poe, fathoms the deepest recesses in the intrinsic Evil of the World, which his genius unveiled.

[@abdelmessaoudi5648]

Th type of lines is not clear.please write normal letters. Thank you.

[@StoryArtsConcepts]

They aren’t that hard to read and also there’s audio so what does it matter?

[@tinkiewinkiie]
