Like the other Poe adaptations I\'ve heard on RMT this one was loosely adapted. But with Poe it\'s hard not to, as so many of his stories were on the order of hallucinations. (If you like something closer to the original, check out The Graveyard 761108, which is based on a Guy de Maupassant tale). Nonetheless I really enjoyed this episode because of the strength of the characterizations. In fact this adaptation had more dimensions than the original tale, so even though I knew Fortinado was going to get his in the end, the other plot twists made it interesting. The music was especially good too in this episode. I will have to check out the rest of the Poe adaptations which began the year 1975 for the series.<br>
