 Edgar Allan Poe - The Tell Tale Heart with subtitles (Read by Christopher Lee)

The story begins with the anonymous narrator who wants to prove his
sanity to the readers. He lived in the same building as an old man with a
"vulture eye." As the story progresses, the reader learns that the narrator
has been bothered by the old man's eye, which is a piercing blue color,
with a white film on it. The tension builds as the narrator describes how
he has taken hold of his obsession, and plans to kill the old man to get rid
of the gaze. Each night, the narrator enters the old man's room while he sleeps, intending to kill him.
He cannot do it when the man is asleep, because his eyes are closed and he looks calm. One night,
the narrator crawls and scares the old man, who screams. As the narrator looks into the eye, he
finally gathers the strength to get rid of the eye and smothers the old man with his mattress. The
narrator meticulously hides the body under the floorboards.

Soon after, the police arrive because a neighbor heard a scream. The
narrator covers up the incident by saying that the old man is out of town
and that the scream came from him. As the police look around, the
narrator begins to hear a peculiar tick; he quickly goes insane when the
sound grows fiercer in his mind. For the narrator, he believes that he is
hearing the old man's heartbeat, which eventually leads him to confess
in a moment of madness.
