[UPDATE: I'm not accepting video responses to this video. Sorry folks.]A reading of the poem by Robert W. Service (Jan. 16, 1874 - Sept. 11, 1958).Most people reading this poem treat it as lightweight fare, a funny parody of a horror story. Service probably intended it that way.But for my own amusement, and as a gesture towards Halloween, I've attempted to reinterpret the poem as genuine horror. It wasn't easy! The climactic stanza is hilarious, not scary. I'll rely on you folks to tell me if I succeeded.Once again, folks who like their poems read as though they were songs, adhering tightly to their rhythmic structure, will be disappointed. I don't read poems that way very often.Text of the full poem is here: http://www.robertwservice.com/... Halloween, folks. :-)

This is the way stories/poems should be told. I will play this for my 16 y/o

Pretty good, I gave it 4 stars. I thought the ending was a little weak, when Sam addresses the speaker. But maybe that's just your interpretation. I've been working on a song version.

A cozy but lonely winter cabin tale! Just great.

Urgelt:You asked if you succeeded. As you can see from over 4000 ratings and almost 2500 comments, YES. My only suggestion would be to "break character" for the hilarious climactic stanza and try for a laugh. (Also the pill bottles in the background were distracting.)I loved the emotion, sincerity and sound effects. I'm glad you didn't read it as if it were a song.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
