| | The Poe Decoder - "The Fall of the House of Usher" |
 | | "The Fall of the House of Usher," which first appeared in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine in September, 1839, and was reprinted in Poe's books of 1840 and 1845, is a detailed, symbolic account of the derangement and dissipation of an individual's personality. | | | Every detail of this story, from the opening description of the dank tarn and the dark rooms of the house to the unearthly storm which accompanies Madeline's return from the tomb, helps to convey the terror that overwhelms and finally destroys the fragile mind of Roderick Usher. | | | The story begins on one "...dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year...." From the very beginning, the reader, as a result of Poe's imagery, is aware of a sense of death and decay. |

| | He bleached his hair a pale blonde for the role and shaved off his trademark mustache; as a result, his first appearance is a real surprise. | | | Few people's smiles come through in their voices more than Roger Corman's, and he's clearly smiling a lot as he talks us through the making of the film, his ideas about it, how he balances shocks and romance, the pacing, the editing, the performances. | | | Instead, it's about the hold the past has upon us, the shuddersome power of evil within -- or, more accurately, the fear of evil within. |

| | Poe, "Fall of House of Usher" |
| | She makes this argument through demonstrating the relation between what happens in “The Fall of the House of Usher” and a reference to a painting by Fuseli. | | | I was, perhaps, the more forcibly impressed with it, as he gave it, because, in the under or mystic current of its meaning, I fancied that I perceived, and for the first time, a full consciousness on the part of Usher, of the tottering of his lofty reason upon her throne. | | | During this time, Poe delivered lectures on American poetry, published thirty-six tales including "William Wilson," "The Masque of the Red Death," and "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and also released a collection of stories in 1840 entitled Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (Peoples 74). |

| | DVD Verdict Review - The Fall Of The House Of Usher |
| | Corman is affable and very easy to listen to, and has quite a bit of information to share about AIP, his filmmaking methods, and the making of The Fall of the House of Usher itself. | | | Then again, maybe I’m just looking at it through modern eyes, as used as I am to rapid contemporary storytelling. | | | It may be light on features, but we can be glad MGM gave us an anamorphic transfer and the excellent Roger Corman commentary. |

| | Nothing in the original tale, the script, or the performances suggested such a relationship to me. However, an unspoken incestuous desire upon Roderick's part is a plausible explanation for his opposition to Madeline's marriage and his insistence that she remain in the house with him. | | | Scripted by famed horror/fantasy/sci-fi writer Richard Matheson, who also worked on the later Corman/Poe/AIP films like Pit and the Pendulum (1961), Tales of Terror (1962), and The Raven (1963), The Fall of the House of Usher marked new ground for AIP and Corman. | | | But he notices that the house is crumbling, cracking and shaking as if it wants to fall apart---as if the house itself is tired of bearing the curse. |

| | Roderick was the product of inbreeding which had caused him to lead a rather unhealthy life. | | | The Usher House seems so fragile that it seems its instability will cause it to fall(59). | | | According to Magill in the book Masterpieces of World Literature, since the Usher family had left only a direct line of descendants, the family and the house had become as one, the House of Usher(291). |

| | The House of Usher |
| | Without a doubt the weirdest adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe tale in recent memory, this lurid production features a raging, leering Oliver Reed as Roderick Usher, who treats his nephew (Rufus Swart) and the man's bride-to-be (Romy Windsor) to some genuine family hospitality by raping her and burying him alive. | | | This film is not only an abomination to the memory of the great author, but a sick joke by comparison with Roger Corman's excellent 1960 adaptation. | | | It seems Roderick intends to sire a child with the poor girl in order to continue the Usher bloodline -- apparently oblivious to the fact that her marriage to his nephew would have accomplished the same thing. |

| | Then, in the same order in which it had come, the procession returned to the palace, where a splendid funeral repast had been prepared. | | | By dint of all these sacrifices the young king made peace with his neighbours, and could set on foot the enterprise that Ludavico Sforza had proposed. | | | Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, if they had not assisted at the fall of the house of Anjou, had at any rate helped the Aragon party with men and money. |
