Netflix has finally released some first photos and also an Autumn start date for their small screen television series adaptation of THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER which will, based on Edgar Allan Poe's famous work, be contemporary it seems not period set as we were hoping before. The eight episode adaptation will start streaming October 12th ahead of the Halloween holidays!  Hopefully we will get a trailer soon as well but for now you can check out the first images from the series unveiled today by the streamer.

 

  SHE IS COMING FOR THEM ALL

 the story of the eight episode series, described as an epic tale of greed, horror and tragedy, follows ruthless siblings Roderick (Bruce Greenwood) and Madeline Usher (Carla Gugino), who have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power.
