Prof DM turning literature classics into TTRPG style film is amazing.

[@luismartinez6421]

Some of us are here for that exact reason 😁

[@NocturnalPeacock]

This is freaking amazing Prof! Awesome work!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thank you.

[@wargame2n3p]

I love watching Dungeon Craft "reruns" - perfect to paint minis to!

[@BarbarosaAlexander]

And to make UDTs to.

[@HarrisonTheGrey]

This was great! The low res actually works for the creepy vibe. Perfect for Halloween. I commend your hard work in making this! Love the narration and sound design.

[@Xhilong]

My thoughts exactly.

[@BarbarosaAlexander]

I second and third this.

[@StephenKretsinger]

Telltale heart has always been my favorite Edgar Allan Poe story. Thanks for making this adaptation.

[@pneumarian]

Nice adaptation! I read my girls "The Raven" the other day in honor of Poe's passing, so I was especially thrilled by the portrait of a raven above the old man's bed. 🦄

[@davespray6644]

I LOVE the "Old Man" and ALL Dungeon Craft Videos!!

[@turkeygod6665]

I can definitely see why you're an english teacher. As someone who wasn't ever really familiar with tell tale heart, this was great. Only remembered the floorboard scene, forgot everything else. The natural lighting was fantastic too, really helped sell the moody feeling.

[@trouqe]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos. This was also one of my favorite video of your earlier days.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for watching all these years.

[@andrewstraight2961]

Amazing! Chilling and eerie… so good!

[@BiggerinRealLife]

I don't even know what the video is about but I saw that title and am here for it.

[@jacobhope6164]

This 28 mm production of The Tell Tale Heart is awesome! Thanks for the flashback Professor. I missed this one.

[@derrickcorreia4826]

That was super impressive. You can see the effort paid off.

[@carpma11]

Tremendous! Those are some wildly specific miniatures you've got there. I'm a bit jealous.

[@Teschmacher]

Poe is an eternal favorite of mine - I'd love to see your presentation of the Pit and the Pendulum!

[@soultron4238]

The BEST thumbnail ever!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks!

[@WhatIsOntheComicRack]

Did someone say Edgar Allen Poe?!? My mom read stories to me when I was younger by Edgar Allen Poe and they are some of my fondest memories. It is so funny how you can put in a lot of time and effort into something and it gets so little views and then you can throw something together in an hour and it gets more views. I have heard musical artists say the same thing when asked, "You had to know this was going to be a hit." and they say, "I have no clue what will or will not be a hit. I just make a song throw it out there and see what happens."

[@calebwidogussy452]

This was actually awesome. I loved this story from the first time I read it. Poe is so great

[@cberg2731]

One of my favorite stories by him.

[@gutterkrawl153]

These are TRUE works of art.

[@jierdareisa4313]

I love ALL Dungeon Craft videos!!!! ❤

[@jacobhope6164]

The Pit and the Pendulum would be a great addition to your productions!

[@bretts7072]

I love how you turn classic stories into RPG modules! MacDeath is still one of the favorite one shots I've run!

[@Hellshade68]

It's amazing how much a few minis and terrain does to add to the immersion of storytelling, isn't it? Works just as well at your table too!

[@Senzueffect]

Been a minute since we had a story episode. Thank you!

[@rbtalley3]

I have watched you for years. Sometimes because of algorithms I completely miss episods like this.

[@KHfanz]

This is absolutely incredible!! I fully understand not doing more, but I would love to see them!!

[@cconnelly7010]

As others have said, this has always been my favorite story from Poe - just fantastic to see it laid out like this as a bit of "miniature theater". Perfect for the season, too!

[@ad3673]

I loved this! Glad you re-released it!

[@simmonslucas]

Edgar Algorithm Poe!

[@Directrix_Gazer]

Amazing work. Can't believe I missed this when it first came out.

[@johnjones6115]

Dramatic reenactments of Classic D&D Modules would be amazing.

[@JonathanGroppenbacher]

This has become an annual Halloween classic in our house. RIght up there with Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

[@jacobhope6164]

"That Frankenstine video is awesome, and the Professor sneaks in lecture materal contrasting the cinematic and literary material while we're just kicked back enjoying the show!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *Would definately watch again. *Extremely likely to recommend to others.

[@invisibledooley]

Thanks for this, I somehow didn't see the original. I think the Masque of the Red Death could make a cool module.

[@silo_fx3182]

That was terrific! Thank you for the re-visit. Totally worth it.

[@b0therme]

This is the first time I've seen this. It's wonderful! I will be rewatching this a lot in hopes of encouraging PDM to find a pit to go with that pendulum!

[@TheFatalT]

One of the first scary stories I ever heard as a youngster and it terrified me. Before I discovered Stephen King, Poe haunted the dark shadows and still gives me the chills….

[@RPG_Bliss]

I backed Pirate Borg! I learned about it on your channel and have wanted it it since then. The KS was a perfect entry point for me ! Arggggg!

[@StatsScott]

What a cool concept / execution. Not sure how I missed this in your backlog but I’m glad you re-released it.

[@bhorrthunderhoof4925]

You are crazy! But that is why I admire you. Crazy and persistent. Way to go.

[@Judas_Iscariote]

We need more from this kind of content! Perhaps, modules would be a great choice. Thanks proffessor

[@francescocasto6672]

That was a work of art indeed ! Awesome.

[@solidussnate6348]

I watched the old one and thought it was cool. I could tell you put some work into it, but I didn't realize HOW MUCH! Thanks for bringing that back. ❤

[@danielrowan4716]

Professor - I discovered Poe when I was 11/12. His horror is so visceral it really creeps me out. Small wonder I’d pick up HPL and friends, and King later. This video was delightfully low tech, and I think that’s a big part of its charm.

[@ItsDeffoScott]

This was so interesting, thanks for the behind the scenes detail.

[@joshualinley4417]

I'm one of the few who saw the original vid years ago, and I adore it. I know it's a lot of work, as you say, but I would very much love to see another like it. Good to review some old school Dungeoncraft!

[@davewire87]

That was great. I thought you might be revealing a game scenario based on the works of Poe like your Frankenstein and MacDeath adventures and was totally unprepared to watch an entire retelling of the Tell-Tale Heart done with miniatures. What a great video for spooky season.

[@stephencollins1740]

Thanks for making this. I'll show it to my grade 8s this year!

[@lordofdorknessdm3085]

That was super cool. I don't think I had previously run across it, so thanks so much for bringing attention to it. Kudos, and I'd definitely be interested in similar content in the future.

[@joepartlow]

Vincent Price recorded The Tell-Tale Heart that sent chills up and down my spine at he age of 15. 16 hour days in a hot attic? Talk about suffering for your art!

[@CausticCatastrophe]

PDM, you always go all out with these, thanks for being a highlight of my day!

[@1776huckleberry]

Dungeon Craft is the only channel on youtube that does these types of videos and it is some of my favorite content. The art and atmosphere just scratches a really unique itch for miniature painting/dark story themes. I know I sound like a paid actor but I will get a patreon sub and always cheer this content. I'm only disappointed it didn't get as much traction as it deserved!

[@tHiSfUgGgiNdUdE]

I love all dungeon craft videos!

[@robertsvensson8251]

I remember a long time ago when I watched a "paint-on-glass" animated adaptation of Moby Dick, which sparked an interest for reading and classic literature. This gave me the same sort of feeling. Excellent work, you should be proud!

[@petemcsorley]

I love this, and the hand painting and crafting of the set and minis is what separates this from digital videos, your narrative is perfect for the mood presented

[@travisbaggett2813]

I love all Dungeon Craft videos!

[@dbf1dware]

This was fantastic! It's about the story and the presentation NOT the special effects. I think it worked VERY WELL. Thank you, sir!

[@satturnine7320]

UNDERRATED!!! People who don’t get this have no HEART!

[@Definetly_not_a_BOT]

It was so nostalgic to watching again, thank you professor ! When I clicked on it I thought you had made a new adaptation.

[@chadstowell37]

PDM "Dungeon Craft" is the best thing on KZbin.

[@razorboy251]

My second favourite Poe story (Cask of Amontillado being my favourite!). Great execution of the story in miniature form!

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

For the love of God, Montressor!

[@razorboy251]

@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 Yes, for the love of God.

[@GhashIronhand]

I can't imagine how much work went into this! Wonderful as always and hoping these time we get to see more!

[@RonaldLivingston-n2d]

Robert E Howard H.P Lovecraft ,Poe and Tolkein. Can't go wrong entegrating these writers into RPG ! Good job very 🎨 more please❤

[@Porphyrogenitus1]

The 13-year-old DM's version was a story where the PCs as detectives find the culprit of a murder due to the criminal's uncontrollable flatulence.

[@sylvarogre5469]

A work of passion. Bellissimo!

[@thejit8976]

I saw your original video and I thought it was incredibly well done. It's cool to know more about how it was done. Thanks Professor.

[@oneanotherstudios]

That was excellent! Even my teens stopped what they were doing and came into the room to watch!

[@michaelbenoit1086]

Doing the dishes while I listen. I just came to hear the Professor read Poe.

[@sherizaahd]

Tell-Tale Heart was a great video! I liked the behind the scenes stuff too.

[@BryanSpellman]

Nicely done. LOVE Poe, LOVE PDM, LOVE the productions

[@araji198]

THIS. IS. SIMPLY, AMAZING.

[@andrewlustfield6079]

This was fantastic! I love when you do minis and crafting. I know that doesn't get as many clicks, which is unfortunate because there's so much joy in that aspect of the hobby to be had.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Yup.

[@marydeyoung7501]

It's one of my very favorite Poe stories. I can remember having the story read to my elementary grade school class by one of the teachers, which started my love for Edgar Allen Poe. Try doing 'Hop-Frog' sometime.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for the visit! Please share! (and Hog Frog is a personal favorite)

[@paulhufton-howe5818]

Wow that was great. More more encore.❤

[@mikebevibevi]

This was freakin awesome!!! Reminds me of watching Thomas the train

[@88Grabarz]

Never seen this before or heard the original. This is amazing, Prof!!! Thank you for making and advertising this vid!

[@SpiritWolf1966]

I enjoy all of Dungeon Craft videos 🎉🎉😅

[@thealaskanpiper]

One on my absolute favorite from Poe's works. Great job!

[@David-su4is]

"When will professor DM make another Edgar Allen Poe video?" I asked myself. "Never more." Spoke the raven; "Never more".

[@vietfatboy]

That was amazing, the set, the narration, everything was perfect.

[@EcthelionOTF]

This was beautiful!! Incredible work and glad you reposted it

[@burningwp]

This is masterful. That eye was haunting.

[@brendensmith-rs3el]

Love all these videos. I've been rewatching the older videos so this is great. Now let's get this thing to 100k + !

[@Grimjier]

Always a classic, your efforts probably provide the first time many have heard it and will set them to literature of a kind they might enjoy the rest of their lives, so well done!

[@petereldergill2942]

That was... fantastic! Gunna share it with a bunch of friends! Thanks for reposting this!

[@PrepWork]

This. Was. AWESOME! You really got the creepy vibe through with those minis. If you make more of this, I'm definetly watching.

[@neil_chazin]

The Lower rest enhanced this, so creepy, good work Prof DM!

[@moes80]

This is awesome! You should definitely make more of these.

[@LordTallis]

Impressive. I was honestly never a fan of this story but I loved this video. Makes me want to go back and read it again. Definitely want to see more of these!

[@DaVeO52]

That's cool! Well done. I know what it means to get sucked into a project. You must have had a blast. And yes, I'd love a Pit and the Pendulum adaptation.

[@DUNGEONCRAFT1]

Thanks for the visit! Please share!

[@jorgepedrofernandes]

Loved the video. Thank you for your hard work on making it.

[@TheFartleberry]

Great stuff, thanks for the repost, not sure I would have stumbled upon it otherwise!

[@SanJacintoArtGuild]

Delightfully done! Thank you for sharing

[@rickytimmons5294]

So good. Loved it the first time, and I love it still.

[@Epona_Rhi]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for bringing it into the algorithm again :-) I would love a sequel!

[@brentnorton1602]

Great re-taleing for the spooky season. Love the set pieces.

[@OopzyDayzy]

Pit and the Pendulum is one of my FAVORITES by Poe. i also love Cask of Amontillado. i didnt follow you way back, but i feel like i missed out now! this was a great watch!
