We started reading The Masquerade of the Red Death yesterday in English class, and the teacher was constantly making mistakes, misreading words, and adding words. Today, he did not enforce at all to read the rest because it was the last day before the break.
But I opened to it and read it through. Although many words were confusing, the ideas portrayed in it was insanely gratifying. I even went as far as to check the glossary and find a poem by him also on the book.
But on topic: My first introduction to him was in watching the show Time Squad back in 2001. I had actually completely forgotten the name and such of the show, but I put in "Edgar Allan Poe Cartoon Network" in Google and up it came. I wish to see that episode again, but... it's basically missing. Youtube doesn't seem to have it, and no where has realistic downloads of it.
Help?
Edit: Here's an animation somebody made to accompany a reading of a poem done in the episode. The contrast to the real Poe is hilarious:
