The Fall of the House of Usher is a new horror limited series on Netflix by Mike Flanagan, but it’s not as simple as an adaptation of the eponymous short story. The show is inspired by many of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories and poems. Fans of Mike Flanagan’s previous horror work likely won’t be surprised by this melding of stories or the show’s modern setting either, as Flanagan tends to take popular horror stories and remix them for fresh takes on old favorites.There hasn’t been a lot of press coverage involving writers or actors for Usher due to the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but Netflix has still released a few trailers and posters. For anyone hoping to get a head start on the hints, clues, and Easter eggs that are sure to be peppered throughout Usher, they need to look no further than these promotional materials. Of course, much like Flanagan’s previous works like The Haunting of Hill House, the best Easter eggs and keys are the ones hidden in plain sight.The Fall of the House of Usher looks to be a much more blatant take on horror than previously seen in Flanagan’s Netflix shows, but it still promises to have all the hallmarks of Flanagan’s particular brand of horror. Whether or not viewers like his takes on horror classics, there’s no denying that Flanagan has an eye for detail that he uses to layer his work with symbolism, hidden meanings, and meditations on complex issues. The Haunting of Hill House, which caught the online community by storm in 2018, wasn’t a particularly faithful adaptation of the 1959 novel by Shirley Jackson of the same name, but it was a beautifully crafted rumination on grief and generational trauma, wrapped in a modern twist on the gothic horror aesthetic.RELATED: Netflix Drops Trailer for Mike Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher
