The Tell-Tale Heart background

The Tell-Tale Heart

A deranged individual recounts the chilling account of a brutal killing, and the eerie, relentless drumming that tormented him in its aftermath.

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.
