Probably the best adaptation by RMT of a Poe story. Certainly the most faithful. In fact the opening monologue is directly lifted from the opening passage.

Another great use of sound effects, especially the howling wind-- it just chills you to the bone, especially, as already alluded to, during the sequence describing the premature burial of the mother.

And, Arnold Moss does an oustanding job of conveying a man on the brink of madness. What a fantastic voice!

This could easily be one of RMT's top ten!
