Mirths and Monsters halloween presents the tell tale heart

In this spooky-ish episode it was meant to be The black cat by Edgar Allen Poe but my own black cat, Rey, read it and was horrified! So, we compromised and went with the tell tale heart.

Rey does chip in during the reading, it's the tell tale heart but you've never heard it like this.

Happy halloween!
