Murder, madness and a guilty conscience drive this faithful adaptation of one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous tales of terror. Writer-director Scott Mansfield (1982's "Deadly Games") captures all the macabre menace in the timeless tale of a man driven mad when he kills his housemate, and the victim's heart refuses to stop beating. This word-for word adaptation is designed both to chill the audience and to help students in reading and American literature classes. Includes read-along story, more.
