The Fall of the House of Usher (short silent film)


Ignore the Spanish subtitles, they don't last long! I think this is a really wonderful modernist effort. I particularly like the black-gloved servant, the weird imagery surrounding the coffin, and the way the fall itself is handled. But it's all good! As in weird...

That's excellent.
I've seen the longer 1929 version but not this one.

'Schalken the Painter' by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

A reading by yours truly of one of the all-time classics. I hope you enjoy it!  I'm told my voice sends people to sleep so maybe try it ...
