7. THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM What are you most afraid of? Heights? Spiders? Public speaking? Tells a story of a man who is sentenced to death and tortured by the Spanish Inquisition. This is an important story because it appeals to our five senses and creates horror without the aid of the supernatural. It’s also important to note that this is the FIRST torture horror story, created long before the Saw films. There is something in this story that is unique in the horror world: a real look at the meaning and consequences of the terrors described. By telling his story from the perspective of the victim, Poe is letting us see how those events play out in such a person’s mind. He is putting us in the victim’s shoes, helping us visualize and experience torture psychologically. Poe allows us to feel the thrill and come to terms with why we feel it; he wants us to be as much a captive as his narrator.
