The Fall of the House of Usher

0:02:24.090,0:02:28.980
"Would you have a car to [br]drive me to Usher's home tonight?"

0:05:16.000,0:05:21.500
In this derelict manor, Sir Roderick held his[br]wife Madeline in a strange prison, dominating

0:05:21.600,0:05:27.000
by his tyrannical nervousness.

0:07:43.000,0:07:50.500
"Oh, no! For all the gold of your Lordship I [br]will not make a step closer to my horse!"

0:07:56.000,0:08:01.500
The overwhelming melancholy surrounding[br]Usher seemed supernatural.

0:09:25.800,0:09:28.750
"The medicine"

0:10:00.500,0:10:08.250
The disease of Lady Madeline, wife of Roderick Usher,[br]had long baffled the skill of her physicians.

0:10:52.500,0:10:57.000
A curious heredity urged each Usher to [br]passionately devote himself to painting

0:10:57.100,0:11:01.500
a portrait of his wife.

0:11:12.800,0:11:16.200
"This is where she is alive!"

0:12:42.000,0:12:46.750
"Dear Roderick, you burn with fever!"

0:14:48.000,0:14:53.250
"His Grace is feeling tired and prays that [br]you excuse his absence from the table."

0:15:57.500,0:16:01.000
"This is where she is alive!"

0:16:48.750,0:16:53.750
The strange passion to paint[br]seizes Roderick again.

0:16:53.850,0:16:58.850
He thought only of being alone with[br]Madeline, his unique model.

0:16:58.950,0:17:04.000
How to dismiss the now unwelcome visitor?

0:18:12.500,0:18:18.000
Twisted as if by a storm, the family tree of [br]Usher threatened the last survivor of

0:18:18.100,0:18:23.500
the race, Roderick, with the most fatal genes.

0:19:21.800,0:19:27.650
"Your concern touches me, my only friend.[br]But take care of yourself as well.

0:19:27.750,0:19:33.500
A short walk will do you good before rest."

0:21:57.500,0:22:02.650
Roderick's brush was like a magic wand.[br]With each stroke the portrait became

0:22:02.750,0:22:07.000
more lively, but Madeline grew more pale.

0:22:07.100,0:22:15.500
The young woman seemed to give the painted [br]image the forces she had lost.

0:26:55.600,0:26:59.800
"In truth, it is life itself!"

0:28:02.000,0:28:09.000
Haunted by all the mysteries, Roderick had [br]long meditated the theories of Magnetism.

0:30:17.000,0:30:22.750
"I tell you, Doctor! She can't be dead!"

0:31:34.000,0:31:39.500
"She will not leave me![br]We bury her right here!"

0:33:50.000,0:33:55.000
"I forbid..... Do you hear, I [br]forbid you to nail it shut.."

0:42:27.000,0:42:34.000
Since the burial of Madeline, hours, days [br]passed in a frightening monotony,

0:42:34.100,0:42:37.750
in an overwhelming silence.

0:44:15.750,0:44:20.500
Every nerve tensed, Roderick seems [br]to watch some unknown sign.

0:44:20.600,0:44:24.000
The slightest noise exasperates him..........

0:47:35.250,0:47:39.750
Roderick dare not repeat this mad [br]force that suffocates him....

0:47:39.850,0:47:42.000
.....Madeline...

0:48:11.250,0:48:14.250
The night promised to be stormy [br]and charged with electricity.

0:48:39.000,0:48:46.000
"There is a two-fold Silence; one is[br]the corporate Silence; dread him not.

0:49:12.000,0:49:18.900
But should some urgent fate bring thee to[br]meet his shadow, nameless elf that haunteth

0:49:19.000,0:49:25.800
the lone regions where hath trod no foot[br]of man... commend thyself to God!"

0:51:59.750,0:52:03.000
"Do you hear him now?!"

0:52:53.500,0:52:59.750
"Roderick, you should not see this! Come[br]distract yourself instead with some reading."

0:53:30.750,0:53:37.500
"And Ethelred uplifted his mace outright,[br]and, with blows, made quickly room in the

0:53:37.600,0:53:44.250
plankings of the door for his gauntleted[br]hand; and now pulling therewith sturdily,

0:53:44.350,0:53:47.750
he so cracked, and ripped...

0:55:08.000,0:55:13.500
"And Ethelred threw his mace, and struck [br]upon the head of the dragon, which

0:55:13.600,0:55:19.250
fell before him, and gave up his pesty[br]breath, with a shriek so horrid and harsh,

0:55:19.350,0:55:22.000
and withal so piercing..."

0:55:38.750,0:55:45.250
"And the brave champion now approached [br]valorously over the silver pavement of

0:55:45.350,0:55:51.750
the castle to where the shield was upon the[br]wall, which in sooth, tarried not for his

0:55:51.850,0:55:58.000
full coming, but fell down at his feet with[br]a mighty great and terrible..."

0:58:41.000,0:58:44.750
"We've buried her alive in the tomb!"

1:02:53.750,1:02:57.000
