The author Edgar Allan Poe created a beautiful writing piece called “Tell Tale Heart”, which included literal elements such as mood, tone, and point of view. The story included a tremulous mood for the reader to be able to feel the excitement of the story. According to the text “Tell Tale Heart”, it states “And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror.” This illustrates that the details of the story create a terrifying atmosphere. When the author describes that an old house with complete silence and nobody awake, it shows that nobody is there to protect you. Anything could jump up and harm you in any sort of way, so it’s terrifying for the reader to be in that situation.

It was the first house I have ever been in that wasn't in the city. So it seemed natural that I was scared the first night. The first day of moving two thousand miles across the country into my new home. The house itself was welcoming and had a different feeling to it. In a small town located somewhere in New Mexico. The house was built in the early eighteen hundreds by spanish explorers. I had never known what would occur in the time we lived there. Back when the house was built, it was used as a hospital for soldiers, a funeral home, and a morgue. Being so young at the time,I had not really understood what that had to do with the new house.

The house didn’t even look that creepy it just looked like an ordinary house. But the thing that looked the creepiest was the dead end street they lived on it was all wooded and looked like a scene off a scary movie it was pitch black and you could hear all sorts of noises coming from the woods. My mom’s friend’s house was one of the last houses on the dead end street. There’s and the one across the street. Then the rest of the street was left and all the woods. It was scary I helped unload the car and ran inside. My cousin was trying to be all tough and not act scared. So we went

Have you ever yelled at the tv while watching a horror movie? There are some rules for surviving a horror movie. The first rule is to think before you do things.

The video “Stephen King on Childhood” changed the way I look at things. He claims, “the things that really scare us are the things that are going on just outside the spotlight that you can’t quite see” (“Stephen King on Childhood”).

“The Tell-Tale Heart” begins with an unnamed narrator stating that he is nervous, but not mad, “True! - Nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been - and am; but why will you say that I am mad?” (3) This narrator describes that he stealthily goes to an old man’s apartment every night at midnight for seven days straight and watches the man sleep. Throughout his experiences in the apartment, he grows a strong agitation revolving around one of the man’s eyes, an evil eye. The shining gleam of light from the narrator's lantern continuously struck this vulture eye and the narrator could take no more. Upon the eighth night, the unnamed narrator took a different approach to his secret actions. He spent an entire hour opening the door, little by little, without startling the innocent old man. As the narrator’s thumb knocked the tin fastening of his lantern, the old man sprung up from his bed crying
