The cartoon reimagines Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale of a deranged boarder who must kill his landlord due to the landlord's "evil eye". The killer's presence is conveyed through creative use of light and shadow, evoking a sense of impending doom. The distinctive art style was inspired by Eugene Berman, a renowned scenic and ballet designer.
