  • "Story of the last member of the Usher family who is obsessed by generations of evil as he prepares to meet his death."
  • ""'The Fall of the House of Usher' was the first of director Roger Corman's eight highly acclaimed adaptations of the works of horror master, Edgar Allan Poe, and is considered one of the great classic horror films of all time. In this eerie tale of bloodlines and madness, a young suitor (Mark Damon) comes to the family home of his bride-to-be, Madeline Usher (Myran Fahey). Immediately, he senses that all is not as it should be within the walls of the family home. He is greeted by Madeline's bizarre, somewhat sinister brother, Roderick (Vincent Price), who is convinced that the Usher blood is tainted with evil. Roderick will stop at nothing to keep Madeline from continuing the Usher lineage -- even if it means burying her alive. But can he keep Madeline from coming back for revenge? Faithfully capturing the terrifying nuances and chilling drama of Poe's original story, 'The Fall of the House of Usher' is a masterpiece of suspense.""
