About "The Fall of the House of Usher"
“In this classic tale of the horrible and grotesque, Poe wrote of disease, the fear of death and premature burial—perhaps confessing his own terror of going mad and of being buried alive. Records show 18 premature burials in Baltimore's Westminster Cemetery, where Poe is entombed. One of these premature burials forms the background for Tim Kelly's chilling dramatization of this classic tale of horror and suspense. Roderick Usher, once a happy young man about to be married, and his beautiful sister Madelaine have become victims to the gloom and poisonous atmosphere of the decaying old mansion in which they live. When Madelaine appears near death, the doctor warns Usher not to bury her until he is certain that she is dead. The ensuing horror grips every viewer in its icy chill.”
