Loved the House of Usher? Here Are 7 Lesser-Known Shows to Watch Next
Let's get that spooky spirit going.
As Halloween approaches, Netflix is making sure we get the best scares possible with its new horrifying masterpiece The Fall of the House of Usher, out October 12.
The miniseries based on the works of the father of horror, Edgar Allan Poe, is everything you could want from a creepy gothic thriller and more. The only downside seems to be that it ends after eight episodes.
