Man! I'm really creeped out! A few days ago a friend sent me these links to some Poe tales. I finally got around to reading them (all by myself in the middle of the night and you know how easily I get creeped out)
-->"Hop Frog" was always a good one IMO, about a jester getting revenge on his
King.
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/hopfrgb.htm -->"The Pit and The Pendulum". I think you can relate this one to 2251 and
SHM of pendulums =), it was a good story (maybe cause I'm french?) :P
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/pitpdmc.htm -->"The Sphinx". This is the shortest one and the spider one on the mountain!
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/sphinxc.htm -->"The Telltale Heart". Ya probably seen this one on Simpsons
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/theartc.htm -->"The Black Cat". Buried alive in a wall (not the castle one) but still
cool :)
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/blcata.htm -->"The Cask of Amontillado". The castle burial one ;-)
http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/poe/works/cask_amo.html The black cat one is the one that truely frightened me, although reading the other ones first probably got my mind in the perfect mood for it. Man! There's no way I'm going to fall asleep now... or even turn off the light to try...
