It's a 1953 animated short film version of The Tell-Tale Heart. The moody animation and chilling sound really captures the mood of Poe's classic tale of terror. Watch it in the dark for an even better effect.

I suggest you check out Jules Dassin's earlier short film of the same story, as it's also very chillingly told, and its use of lighting is very noirish (or perhaps Val Lewton is a better example). The acting in particular stands out as being really offbeat, but it works in the short's favor -- I just remember it really caught my attention when I first saw it.
