"The Tell-Tale Heart" from 1960 is a loose adaptation of the 1843 short story by Edgar Allan Poe. A man becomes obsessed with his neighbor, Betty, and goes on a few dates with her while covertly spying on her through her bedroom window. Edgar introduces Betty to a friend of his, Carl, and Betty and Carl consummate their relationship in full view from Edgar's window. Edgar takes out his jealousy on Carl and is driven mad by his guilt. Mike and Amber review this worthy effort that takes Poe's work and expands upon it to bring a new perspective. Plus, Mike shares his original character based on this movie that is created for use in tabletop role playing games.
