Halloween Spooktacular 2017 - Inner Sanctum Mysteries: 'The Tell-Tale Heart'

Edgar Allan Poe

Read by Boris Karloff

(5 stars; 2 reviews)

Today we'll give a listen to two great talents of the macabre: Edgar Allan Poe and Boris Karloff. In real life, he was a wonderful human being, but few actors have portrayed evil or diabolical characters any better than Boris Karloff.

He was such a fan favorite on Inner Sanctum Mysteries that the actor ended up starring in fifteen episodes during the show's first season. Once we mix in the classic Poe story The Tell-Tale Heart, you know we've got a must-listen, so kick back and enjoy the episode as it originally aired on August 3rd, 1941.
