The Tell-Tale Heart

I enjoyed the third video the most, because it was really comical. Video number one and number two were both designed to frighten people, but the third video was meant to make people laugh. I really liked how that video was able to make a terrifying story seem funny. Because of how the puppet expressed itself, the story suddenly seemed very light. In addition to that, because the puppet spoke so quickly, it didn't give you enough time to think about the frightening aspects too thoroughly. The third video was my favorite one, because it was really amusing.

The first video gives so much information about the story, that it makes you think you've already read it. It starts out at the beginning, and then quickly, but thoroughly works its way to the end of the story. With a dark feel and good music to accompany it, it captures the creepy feel of the poem. Even though the second video also gave some information about the story, it started when the old man had already been killed. So, someone who hadn't read the poem before wouldn't know why or how the madman killed his victim. The first video would definitely give a reader the most information about the real story.
