JEFF NILES PRESENTS, Eps 3 and 4.

Due to the shortness of episode 3, which is a recitation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven", we're attaching it to the front of episode 4, which is a dramatization of wee Eddie's story "The Pit and the Pendulum". An eerie double-feature for you, from our dear departed pal Jeff Niles. Trust us, Jeff was alive when he made these, but he'd appreciate the thought.

"The Raven" recited by Viktor Aurelius

"The Pit and the Pendulum" is a gruesome and evocative tale of torture and psychological horror at the hands of the Spanish Inquisition, filled with nightmarish imagery and heart-stopping suspense.

Starring: Peter Heimsoth, Jeff Niles, and Vikor Aurelius
