It's not THAT old. I think it's made in the 70s. I think it's probably low budget, which is why it has "eerie" quality. Movies with, say, Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn are older.
@@eunicestone6532Also because there were no copyright laws in those days. He became the most famous poet in the USA when The Raven was published but he didn’t revive any royalties from its success. He was genius. He was also haunted by his own personal demons.
Pretty good adaptation. At least in my opinion. I've seen several---the first was Roger Corman's classic 1960 version starring Vincent Price. Gothic horror is one of my favorite genres. Unfortunately, it's a rather lost cinematic art, most likely because there's no longer any audience for it among young people. Thanks for posting this !
The background music is so scaring that it gives chills and a feeling of intense gloom. Usher's face looks feeling less yet with so much pain of losing his sister. Overall nice story
Pretty amazing how they came from this one to the one from 1960! Awesome story, awesome films both of them. Personally i like the one with Vincent Price more.
It would be great to have a modern movie for the fall of the house of usher. It would be difficult to improve upon the performance of Vincent Price, but there is probably someone who could do a good rendition of Usher.
I remember being forced to read stuff like this when I was in 9th grade or something like that. I had just left 8th grade, going into 9th and I was forced to basically read stories by Edgar AllAn Poe for Summer reading 📖 & so during the Summer I was forced to read called “18 best stories by Edgar AllAn Poe.” I remember resenting it and not fulling understanding why I was required to read something so creepy and scary & I despised the book 📚📖. Now I am up late in the middle of the night purposely looking up Egdar AllAn Poe stuff. What in the world 🗺 happened with me?
You grew up! I too remember that list of books I had to read during the summer, thinking I’d be required to write a book report for homework after my first day back to school. Never happened...
Sad you feel that way! I'd have loved to study more Poe in school as a child. I'd have seen it as a sort of break... as I did when we studied some of his poems.
This is an adaptation which is rather nearer the original story than other versions. Although the plot is truncated, the sense of Gothic gloom and horror still comes across chillingly well. I'm unsure whether the location is meant to be In England or in USA in the film. In Poe's tale, it could have been either. Wherever it was, it doesn't detract from being such an effective story / film.
These two men had been friends in boyhood yet that Rodrick had a twin sister was unknown to his friend? Odd. And with such acute hearing giving Rodrick pain one would think the door hinges would be oiled. The squealing is a tad cliché for spooky productions.
soslothful Roderick kept Madeline a secret, since she herself didnt like the outdoors and socializing. In those days boyhood friends would have not mentioned family, especially if in boarding school
@@soslothful Love that! LOL The original text actually says that even though they were close friends, he knew very little of his friend, so I guess that explains why he didn't really know about the twin.
Hi, who could tell me about this version of E. A. Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' ?! "The Basil Copper's The Fall of the House of Usher" from 1950 ?! By the way the band 'In the Nursery' has scored this gem! This version has now been professionally transferred to digital format and features a music score by In the Nursery (ITN), as originally intended by Copper. The edited version on this DVD runs for around twenty-six minutes. Maybe someone is able to upload Basil Copper's 1950 version!! cheers, Gregxx....🦇
I was feeling very unsure because my mum must be very moody in that morning promptly when I listened to the sound of this old movie: Fall of the House of Usher. 😔😢😢😢😢😢😢I'm afraid my mum is very moody and extremely cynical in her grumpy silence!😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
I have ever seen an incredible expressing movie about a story , who is like me watching the fall of the house of Usher movie because of his literature session 😂🙄?!?
If Rodrick suspected Madeline might still be alive, why did he not leave the casket opened? It appeared his friend bolted the lid on, which would make escape a tad difficult.
Oh, how fascinating! Not only one thing, I'm going to draw this autobiographical comic story to prevent myself to subdue the Singapore for removing me to the lonelier island and move out of the Planet Earth! 🌍🌏🌎🇸🇬 So that, I will be expecting to draw a majestic clock before!
Yes, there is a movie with Vincent Price. You can purchase it on amazon. It is very eerie. I also watched Vincent Price read “The Raven”. It was very powerful
So what disorder was Poe describing ? I Understand Poe wrote much of what was current in John Hopkins Hosp's patients during his time there ,he was compelled to write the Raven , while in Baltimore, MD. Now, with the invention of DSM there is surely some name for the main character's symptoms.
Whenever, I would plan about this autobiographical comic story to influence the short story creation of Edgar Allan Poe possibly, the game called The Little Nightmares, the game called In Nightmare, seemingly yet unlikely Rule of Rose (2006) and the temporary game called Stray.
DR Groce It is NOW, and that's down to me!!! When I posted my comment a month ago it had the common error of spelling it ALLEN, but it has now been corrected. It's amazing how often people get it wrong - Kim Newman wrote a short story on the topic. LMAO.
@@MistersandyrobertsonAllan is his adopted last name. I think he added the middle surname because of the fondness of his step Dad - (something) Allan. Lol
@@russellolenick5642 Actually, Poe and his stepfather John Allan fought like cat and dog so there was no love between them. He wouldn't have had any choice as an adopted child about the name being added.
Crazy women are often great in... well, I'll just say they're more into it, more energetic and creative... things like that. Just HAD to mention that. I had no choice. Haha, sorry.
Ambient Meditations I love it!! I can attest to that; definitely some truth to the quote! I'm not familiar with the name but he sounds fun! I may have to look him up.
What a terrible adaption. There's just something about movies from the 70s that are godawful. The film serves its purpose though. There are better adaptions out there. This is how you film a short story on no budget. But even college adaptions are better than this. I apologize to those that enjoy this adaption.
HateHater Can't recall director, but it's 1949. It's on TH-cam if you search House of Usher it's the one uploaded by dudes called The Archivists. Not sure if this is the incomplete bootleg or the complete one that emerged on UK DVD awhile ago. It's pretty dire but interesting. There's details about it in the book Netherwood about the guest house where it was filmed.
Poe was a genius. Happy Birthday, Edgar. Sleep in peace
This movie terrified my grandma when she was a teen! It's nice to know I have a chance to see what scared her, thanks to digitizations of old movies!
the fact that this film is so old made it way more creepy and was actually 10x better than just reading it
It's not THAT old. I think it's made in the 70s. I think it's probably low budget, which is why it has "eerie" quality. Movies with, say, Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn are older.
@@eezee5744 danggg not the 1800’s 😂🤣😭
was too hard to read lol
@@LOONYDUDES listen to it on audiobooks
The fact the film was so old that it made it creepier than the century older story? Lol ok
Great shame the man " Edgar Allan Poe" died in poverty . Great writer
All because of alcoholism and addiction.
America has never respected her great writers...Hawthorne, Poe, Melville.....
@@eunicestone6532Also because there were no copyright laws in those days. He became the most famous poet in the USA when The Raven was published but he didn’t revive any royalties from its success. He was genius. He was also haunted by his own personal demons.
That was great. Love those old movies.
I saw The Fall of the House of Usher starring Vincent Price and read Poe’s original story at age 10. It terrified me for years afterward.

I wouldn’t be so sure. Gothic horror is seeing something of a renaissance these days. Check out The Witch, Haunting of Hill House, and The Babadook
Roderick Usher, has been self- isolating for decades...
Was he a vampire!!!
Nope...but he and his sister were born by inbreeding
@@fosterdoll5249 How did you arrive at this idea?
Fascinating replies.....Indeed...
He was inbred. Probably suffered from hemophilia or polyporia. Blood disease caused by inbreeding. Like the Hasbergs.
The background music is so scaring that it gives chills and a feeling of intense gloom. Usher's face looks feeling less yet with so much pain of losing his sister. Overall nice story
Adaptatioin from 1976. Director is Guerdon Trueblood. Stars Clifford Dodd, Michael MacRae, Logan Ramsey, and Tara Leigh.
Clifford David was his name, I believe?
Oh, how interesting! I listened to the sound of Edgar Allan Poe typed movie called The Fall of the House of Usher.

I have bad news for you lol.
This is the third version of the story I have seen, not a bad attempt at all.
I love how there were gay subtexts in some of Poe's stories, like this one.
Ah, I was calmed by the sound of Edgar Allan Poe: House of Usher!
when are a depressed vampire who going through grief

Im so glad I picked this one to watch! I chose correctly
I think it's England. The lake is referred to as a tarn, which to me suggests the Lake District in NW England.
My man was a Boston boy
@@silverwhistle Poe calls it a tarn in the story.
thank you for the vedeo it helps to analys this story 😊😊
For what class?
@@pressmin i study in morroco i have this story to analyse , and thank you 🤗
Ah, what the Edgar Allan Poe movie!
The actor playing Usher looks like Liberace.
And his performance was a bit of a Glissando !
Could be why Usher sired no children....Indeed....very good observation......
That explains all the candles
Great
The music kills me xD
Ah, that is why Edgar Allan Poe wrote these short stories of horror.
Brilliant sdaptation....This should have neen a major movie with the same cast not. '.Big Names'...
It was sad

You'll have to ask Mr. Poe about that. He wrote it that way.
@@jeanbush8791 I did. He just replied, "Nevermore."
@@soslothful Love that! LOL The original text actually says that even though they were close friends, he knew very little of his friend, so I guess that explains why he didn't really know about the twin.

This Roderick Usher is styled like Liberace, especially the hair.
I thought he was Liberace for a moment. Did Liberace do any acting? He was perfect for all the gothic plays.
If Rodrick suspected Madeline might still be alive, why did he not leave the casket opened? It appeared his friend bolted the lid on, which would make escape a tad difficult.
Fr😂😂
She was pissed about having to break out of the coffin
I know what u mean bro. I imagined of a major Hollywood made House of Usher movie with Mark Hamill playing Roderick Usher.
My brain hurts

Yes, there is a movie with Vincent Price. You can purchase it on amazon. It is very eerie. I also watched Vincent Price read “The Raven”. It was very powerful
What year was this produced?
Why does Rodrick looks like Elvis Presley ???
I think he looks like Liberace wearing some of Elvis' collars.
1976
8:08 He was describing depression, right?
Lol
Whoa. Aulaumaut! 😶

I don't think it's a real sickness. The nature of Rodrick's illness is clearly supernatural.
Sensory Processing Disorder
when was this filmed?
That wasn't half bad. 😊
Is waddawick a Elvis impersonator
Liked Vincent price version.bettet
vincent price's voice?
not bad
Any idea what year this was made ? 🤔
@Logan Zbyszinski 1976!
@20:50 wait what? That's not how that went x"D
Can you elaborate on that ?
@@jamaldasauce9040 In the story Rodrick's friend didn't even know that his sister was his twin until he saw her face up close in the casket.
What year is this from?
1976 I believe
The sister is hot.
A male character finally escapes from the House of Usher.
