Lenore Usher you deserved BETTER!!!!!

[@marklouis1890]

I was heartbroken when she died. Besides Juno and her mother Lenoir didn't deserve any of this. She was the only decent Usher besides Juno and her grandmother

[@ACinemafanatic]

@@marklouis1890the only innocent one she truly was the best one but it also goes to show how terrible Roderick is by having more and more kids. And Fredrick believed that his wife cheated which shows she didn’t since that’s the only grandchild of the usher family

[@marianne5055]

At least it was peaceful.

[@kaykay3481]

I was hoping she could have been skipped. So sad 😞

[@marklouis1890]

@kaykay3481 We all wanted her to be spared. Outside of Juneau and the grandmother she was one of the innocent people in the Usher family who wanted to do good and spoke out against some of the heinous crimes the family had committed over the years. However Roderick and Madeline didn't consider any of this when they were being offered the deal. They were motivated by greed. Roderick sealed per fate that day because she gets a part of the Usher bloodline. At least she had a peaceful death

[@PettyPumpkins]

SPEAK ON IT!!!

[@Whitney_Miller]

Son In Law is how I know her. Either way, she's been and always has been MOTHER.

[@acehearts3419]

I remember watching this show being absolutely terrified that Julius was going to die. Because in the short story, when the narrator tries to kill the second cat, his wife tries to intervene and he kills her and hides her body in the basement wall. I was so stressed that whole scene when Julius got home while Leo was losing it. Glad they deviated from the story in that aspect (but they had Verna in the wall to reference it). Also watching this made me realize just how many of Poe's short stories involve hiding bodies in walls and under floorboards and how many start with the narrator professing how sane they are (both Telltale Heart and The Black Cat start like this).

[@1nellychick]

Fun fact! Mike Flanagan is gonna do the Stephen King Carrie series on Amazon Prime. I’m so excited for it.

[@cullenarthur8879]

He's also going to do Stephen King's The Dark Tower. It's going to be a series, probably on Amazon Prime or something. If anyone can adapt The Dark Tower it's Mike Flanagan. He's a true Constant Reader.

[@FilmBuff54]

Of all the Usher children, I feel that Leo and Tamerlane were the most sympathetic. They were both terrible to their significant others, but Leo at least got upset when his siblings died, and Tammy was weird and neurotic but not evil. Samantha Sloyan is an amazing actor who is also in “Midnight Mass” where she did Emmy-worthy work.

[@PettyPumpkins]

After all was said and done with this show Samantha Sloyan is the one who stood out most for us. We haven’t seen Midnight Mass yet but we are already so excited for her performance!!

[@do.not.perceive.me.]

the way carla’s various accents for verna’s manifestations all bleed into each version shown to the family is probably one of my favorite little touches she’s ever put into a character. it really shines when she’s with camille in the rue morgue and with leo in the shelter; she makes it so smooth even though it adds to the weird not quite a human vibe you get from verna. also mary’s fucking bump was the hardest mountain to climb, they didn’t have to do her like that 💀

[@dlweiss]

I love that this show did so many ghastly "things you'd never considered" - since so many of those things come straight from Edgar Allan Poe's original stories (the blade pendulum, bricking someone up inside a wall while they beg for mercy, etc). The man had a DARK imagination!

[@PhDFl0pp]

Mike Flanagan the icon you are! Can’t wait to see what he does next

[@PettyPumpkins]

We’re sat for literally every single he does for the rest of his life!

[@lachellerivera5624]

I've suffered from insomnia. Not only can you not fall asleep, but during the day, you'll have micro naps where you doze off for a bit and then wake back up. It is a horrible feeling that had me lying in bed crying because I couldn't sleep. I had to be prescribed ambien so that I could finally sleep. What Tammy is experiencing is exactly what severe insomnia feels like. I was awake for two weeks before I finally saw a doctor about it. Mine was caused by chemo medication, but hers is being caused by extreme stress.

[@Painocus]

Favorite Poe story is probably William Wilson (the one Tammy's story is mainly based on, and her husband Bill is named after). My favorite Poe poem is The Conqueror Worm. Also since I already wrote this for somewhere else, here is a breakdown of the Poe references/adaptions, to the best of my ability and memory, if anyone is interested: Roderick is based on Roderick Usher from "The Fall of the House of Usher", Montresor from "The Cask of Amontillado" and the unnamed narrators from "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee". And maybe loosely on William Legrand from "The Gold-Bug". Annabel Lee (Roderick's first wife) is based on, well.. Annabel Lee from "Annabel Lee". Juno is loosely based on Jupiter from "The Gold-Bug". Madeline is based on Madeline Usher from "The Fall of the House of Usher", also on Montresor from "The Cask of Amontillado" and very loosely on the narrator of "Some Words with a Mummy". Auguste Dupin is based on C. Auguste Dupin from several of Poe's detective stories, including "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", and on the unnamed narrator of the "The Fall of the House of Usher". Rufus Griswold is based on Fortunato from "The Cask of Amontillado". Arthur Pym is based on "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket". Prospero/Perry is based on "The Masque of the Red Death"- Camille is based on Camille L'Espanaye and her mother from "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and probably loosely on the King from "Hop-Frog". Toby and Beth/Tina are probably loosely based on Hop-Frog and Trippetta from "Hop-Frog". Napoleon/Leo is based on "The Black Cat" and very loosely on Napoleon Buonaparte Froissart from "The Spectacles". (Julius is probably named after "The Journal of Julius Rodman", although I don't think he is very based on that story, except maybe in a very loose thematic sense.) Victorine is based on "The Tell-Tale Heart", the unnamed sailor from "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and very loosely on Monsieur Renelle and Julien Bossuet from "The Primature Burial", the husband and former lover respectively of the Victorine LaFourcade of that story, with Ali taking the Victorine role in the relationship dynamic. (Ali herself is named after Alessanda from "Politian"). Tamerlane/Tammy (despite her episode and company being named after "The Gold-Bug") is based on the titular characters of "William Wilson" (her plot) and "Tamerlane" (her relationship with Bill). Bill is named after William Wilson, but as I said, Tammy is the one who is based on him. Frederick is based on "The Pit and the Pendulum", the husband from "Morella" and Fredrick from "Metzengerstein". Morella is based on Morella, from, well, "Morella" and actually takes the narrative role of the protagonist from "The Pit and the Pendulum", while Frederick takes the role of the Spanish Inquisition. Leonore is based on Lenore from "The Raven", the daughter from "Morella" and takes the role of the French Army from "The Pit and the Pendulum". Verna is based on the Raven from "The Raven", Death from "The City in the Sea" and the shrouded figure at the end of "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", and to various extents takes the roles of the Red Death from "Masque of the Red Death", the 'ourang-outang' from "The Muders in the Rue Morgue", the replacement Pluto from "The Black Cat", the old man from "The Tell-Tale Heart" and William Willson's doppelgänger from "William Willson".

Death had to take all of them but the pain was optional, she gave all of them the chance to do the right thing before the end but none of them took it The only one who got a peaceful ending was the granddaughter, the innocent in the Usher family who’s only mistake was to be born in this cursed family… her fate was chosen decades before her birth

@ Creepshow is generally kinda cheesy tho it depends on what actors are in the episode. There’s some really good ones, including the one I mentioned! And damn, you’re fine, sir!

[@cullenarthur8879]

​@@AJRed96yeah, it's the story where the monster follows the woman (Juno) to the other woman's home. It was a good one. It's symbolic of people bringing their own problems and baggage into other people's lives.

My favorite Poe piece has always been "Annabelle Lee" but "The Raven" is a close second. I love the binges and Mike's Flanaeverse is just epic. Midnight Mass, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manner, Midnight Club (for the younger crowd), Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game, and "Before I Wake" It is hard to go wrong with Mike Flanagan.

[@CrownlessKing88]

I love that you can see “Verna” walking off at the last second when Tamerlane checks on the bodyguard thinking he was talking to someone, bc he was. He just didn’t remember.

Verna is an anagram for Raven. Clever little detail.

[@PettyPumpkins]

We realized this literally 5 minutes after turning off the camera and we felt so dumb we didn’t realize it earlier!!

[@zac_94]

The timing of their reaction to this series dropping is immaculate 💊

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Verna is an anagram for Raven, and Ravens are considered death omens or manifestations of Death itself. Also the representation of several goddesses - such as The Morrigan, the celtic goddess of Fate. Also, bricking someone behind a wall is ftom A Cask of Amontillado by Poe. Right down to the jester suit. The name of the man bricked behind the wall? Fortunado. The original story of The Fall of the House of Usher involved a narrator visiting an old friend, fallen ill who is the last of his family whose twin sister 'died' but was actually buried alive. She broke out, scared him to death, the entire house cracks and collapses as well. Way more incesty vibes about the whole family though. Auguste Dupin was Poe's detective character, from Murders of the Rue Morgue, who went on to inspire Sherlock Holmes. There are SO many more references - like, EVERYTHING was a Poe reference, its crazy. Names, locations, etc.

[@CrownlessKing88]

Their mom and the guy she was the secretary to and had kids with is Mr and Mrs Dudley from Haunting of Hill House.

[@LucasIsAVampire]

“You’re more than that Bill” “Yeah, arms” 😂😂😂 you’re not wrong about that

[@elliecat44]

luuuuuv a flanagan series

[@FilmBuff54]

If you are interested in the original Poe stories, the great British actor Basil Rathbone recorded many Poe stories, including the Black Cat. He is probably most famous for playing Sherlock Holmes in the 1930s, and he has a marvelous voice. KZbin has many of his recordings. You might also check out the Poe movies that were done by Roger Corman, usually with Vincent Price in the lead. The best of these is The Masque of the Red Death.

[@PettyPumpkins]

Thank you!!! 🥰🥰

[@foof76]

Not me spending my Friday night watching this entire binge fest! 😂 I'm so happy you guys finally got to see this and I'm THRILLED you're starting a Flanathon! If you like Willa in this, I still vote for you guys watching her with Kyle Gallner in Strange Darling.

[@jlerrickson]

Midnight Mass is still my favorite, but it seems pretty clear that Poe is Flanagan's spirit animal. This show is just perfect, and it was nice to see you both have a good time with it. Final consolation: unlike in the original story, Pluto didn't die.

[@cullenarthur8879]

Poe and King are definitely Flanagan's biggest influences. Mike Flanagan is a true Stephen King fan. He's one of the only directors I trust adapting Kings work. I can't wait until he finally finishes The Dark Tower.

[@WitchyShelbs]

Mary McDonnell does eat up this role but she has played the lead many times!

Some places to start with Poe: The Raven, The Conqueror Worm, Masque of the Red Death, Ligeia, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, The Oval Portrait. There are so many more, but these are some of my absolute favorites.
