Pit and Pendulum, The

This is a good version of the famous story. "Suspense" had already made this story twice before - once on January 12, 1943 and again on November 28, 1947. Later, "Suspense" did the story one more time on June 7, 1959.

Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness. In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict, particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy. However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
