The first in the series of director Roger Corman’s Edgar Allen Poe films sets a high bar for gothic horror adaptations. It stars the legendary Vincent Price as Roderick Usher, with a screenplay penned by Richard Matheson. The story is more faithful to the source material than Mike Flanagan’s version, but there are still some significant changes. It’s time for a classic in this former Patreon-exclusive!

Jan de Bont’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s novel bears little resemblance to the source material, much less the 1963 Robert Wise film, but with all the talent that worked on the movie it should have still been a success. Stephen King and Steven Spielberg both pitched in, but for whatever reason they couldn’t save the movie from critical disappointment. Stars Catherine Zeta Jones, Owen Wilson, Liam Neeson, and Lili Taylor are all there, too, but can they elevate the movie above cheap thrills? Enjoy this former Patreon-exclusive episode!
