One of my most anticipated releases of 2023 has been Mike Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher. Based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe, and with a tremendous cast bringing this story to life, the series will premiere one month from now on October 12th and we have a look at the brand-new trailer.
“From Mike Flanagan, the creator of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, a wicked horror series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power. But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”
