What makes this the best version on youtube ironically theirs no animation the still Grimm faces of predator & prey. triumphant & the doomed is absolutely absorbed by u & i the viewer. It also teached a very real lesson not only can evil win but it can incredibly & totally win. Let that sink in & be deeply contemplated in secret. MORBIDLY DELICIOUS
@@m00nr1vr Not to mention when Fortunato tried to play it off as a joke and the Narrator was like "yeah no you are gonna die here". Fucking bone chilling.
It's implying Fortunato is trying to sound smart without knowing what he's talking about. That'd be like saying "He couldn't tell a donut from a pastry!"
I'm so glad I found this! We watched this in 8th grade English, but the VHS was so crappy and the tracking on the television was probably way off. So a room full of 13 year olds couldn't understand anything they were saying except someone yelling "AMONTILLADO" every so often. The substitute got frustrated that no one could answer any questions that he made us watch the whole video over again. I crack up every time I think about it.
These Edgar Allen Poe animations from my high school years were really neat. (although the "Telltale Heart" one was made quite awhile before I was born....) I was totally insane for Poe. I don't know why. In schools we had to read and memorize Poe in K-5. . Interesting. Californian public schools....
It also reminds me a little bit of scene in "The Vanishing" where the murderer tries yelling at the top of his lungs to out shout his wife and daughters....and next day he asks his closest neighbor in the Parisian countryside if he heard any screaming and shouting, to which the neighbor said no, of course..... th-cam.com/video/Vd7ckPG_3DA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uZbJvNDk1_LuoiHv&t=2124
I'm 86 now, but when I was a t secondary school in Edinburgh, we had an amazing English teacher. His name, Mr Hendry. The school, Norton Park. Right beside Hibernian Football ground. If you were well ahead with your studies, Mr Hendry would read the class a story instead of work. He was gifted, could talk multiple voices. One of the stories he told us was this tale by "Poe". Brings back fond memories.❤❤❤❤❤
In my class- it would have been about 1999, we watched this on a filmstrip projector. It may have been this version. The audiotape would beep and then someone would manually turn the film to the next picture. This may have been it, but I've been trying to find that version forever.
@@thomasdunn16 It is a passing observation on a rather unrealistic moment, not a comment on the original story, this rendition or Gothic literature as a whole. Your ending quip is snappy!
Since the corks might have been very difficult to open it would make sense they'd resort to breaking the necks in desperation. Especially Fortunato since he was already inebriated.

some of these newer animations just can't convey the morbidness of this story.
I haven't seen this in years. The illustrations towards the end are pretty terrifying.
Music and sound effects help a lot.
I looked it up and niter is salt peter. I still can't figure out why there is salt peter in the catacombs. Does anyone know?
Especially the screaming faces
The discordant music the still illustrations. My god!!!...doom!
rewatching it again, i never truly realized how terrifyingly morbid it is.
Being buried alive where no one can hear you. This is one of the reasons why I believe death is not the worse thing you can get.

@@garygreen3638 NO FR ITS SO FUCKING CREEPY
@@m00nr1vr IKR?! All this time I was watching it, I was like "you dont have to be a dick about it damn"
But amontillado is a type of sherry. Is he saying that Luchesi can't tell Amontillado from sherry in general?

@@PankoBreadcrumbs Yes, I agree.
@@PankoBreadcrumbsBad example.
disturbing nightmare fuel, i wonder how many kids were traumatized in English class by this. Its wonderful
The only thing that should traumatize u is watching the Kardashian's being Kardashian's

Congratulations you have succeeded on giving me a good night sleep! Thank you very much!

Top10 anime betrayal
LOL
The thumbnail is like a horror film. Honestly this illustration is so creepy !
8th grade english was a godsend. It introduced me to poe
Everything about this is perfect. It's the most ideal representation of Poe's work
i watched this for English and i am very disturbed
I've been looking for this version for a long time. I showed my classes this one years ago. It was so long ago it was on VHS.
Stephen Aguilar y are you showing kids this scary ass shit
Do you remember if it was released on its own tape? Or has it been taped off of television?
@Matthew Booher Can I tell you I found it on eBay! Released by an encyclopedia company! Would’ve loved you as my teacher!
One of my college English/Literature professors showed this un class, too. It was chilling then and still is now.

Do they show this to 13 year olds? That must be traumatising!

The best dramatization of that great story I've ever seen.
Take this as a lesson to be very careful whom you are disrespectful to.
The scariest part is fortunato may have never actually disrespected him. Montressor might just be crazy...
Yep, I definitely don’t regret watching this after dark!
I remember watching this in 8th grade literature all the way back in 2007

I don’t know why but this scared me 😭but it’s good at the Same time
well, it's based off a edgar allan poe book so......
Wtf is wrong with Edgar Allen Poe
@ella: He's dead.
@@robdykejr Indeed
He's a gift to literature. That's who he was.
What, you don't like good story telling?
he was a master of drama at that time
Fortunato got the Covid
Pussies like you ruin classics. Covid would've been laughed at at this time. Real people back then didn't hide in their fuckin homes from a cold.
I haven’t seen this in years. Thank you for uploading!
This version is great. Thanks for sharing

What a magnificent version. Thank you for uploading.
This was released in 1979, not 1978. Read the Roman numerals.
Kinda slaps ngl
Wow this is amazing!
Why does montrisour look like markiplyer
I watched this about a week ago, and I can't stop thinking about it. I really like the performance, I couldn't tell it was just one guy at first.
I make my own wine. Fortunato was an asshole.
does anyone know the music in the video?
Who came from ms.cowell?

This is what happens when u dont pay attention. But in fortunado defense timed were different
Is Vincent Price the narrator?
sounds like an orson welles impersonator
If you read the credits, it's Patrick O'Hara
The characters look scary.
This slaps on mute
Mrs Paul where you @
Terrifying

If the vaults were the resting place of a rich family why would there be uninterred skeletons everywhere ?
They drank from wine bottles opned by breaking the neck? This seems very unlikely.
That’s your comment on this great example of gothic literature? You’re a deep thinker.
