Amazing work!
"The Tell-Tale Heart" has always been one of my favorite Edgar Allan Poe stories (followed by "The Black Cat" ) and this pic definitely does it justice. I love the dark tones, the texture on the floorboards and how the vulture-eye of the old man seems to illuminate his crypt below. Fantastic

The Evil Dead. Followed by Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. They are awesome and you should go out and buy copies of each right now. It was also adapted into an off-broadway musical ("Evil Dead: The Musical") which was also amazingly awesome.

That's pretty sweet, I must say.
Have you ever heard the album "Tales of Mystery & Imagination: Edgar Allan Poe" by the Alan Parsons Project? It's a GREAT album, especially if you're into Poe.
Here's the link to listen to "The Tell Tale Heart" over on YouTube: [link]
Also, check out the special features on the first Hellboy DVD: If you search you can find an old cartoon short of The Tell-Tale Heart, narrated by James Mason. It's pretty awesome and the animation very creepy.
Or you could just watch it here: [link]

Dave that's awesome! Never really seen you do anything like this before, it's got a very different (and more serious) feel from your regular stuff. It's cool to see a different atmosphere come through now and then.
