Episode 0057 "The Fall of the House of Usher"
Original Story by Edgar Allen Poe Adapted by George Lowther
Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
The classic horror tale by Edgar Allan Poe tells the story of a heir driven insane by the ancient house of Usher, which he believes to be sentient. The ultimate macabre phantasmagoria winds with him burying his cataleptic sister alive.
Horror that makes the flesh crawl as with maggots. Terror that turns the brain to jelly.These mark the work of Edgar Allan Poe. For nearly a century and a half readers have wondered at the mad creations of his fevered brain even as their blood ran cold with fear as shall yours. Please God help us.
I must warn you that there lies ahead for you a tale so gruesome that when it ends you will know beyond doubt that never in your life before have you experienced such revulsion. Are you prepared for this? Come then to a certain room where a man named Gabriel Mannering sits writing in his diary.
Starring: Kevin McCarthy, Marian Seldes, Robert Dryden, Arnold Moss
