00:00:11.034 --> 00:00:17.218
The Fall of the House of Usher

00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:28.980
"Would you have a car to 
drive me to Usher's home tonight?"

00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:21.500
In this derelict manor, Sir Roderick held his
wife Madeline in a strange prison, dominating

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.000
by his tyrannical nervousness.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:50.500
"Oh, no! For all the gold of your Lordship I 
will not make a step closer to my horse!"

00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.500
The overwhelming melancholy surrounding
Usher seemed supernatural.

00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:28.750
"The medicine"

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:08.250
The disease of Lady Madeline, wife of Roderick Usher,
had long baffled the skill of her physicians.

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:57.000
A curious heredity urged each Usher to 
passionately devote himself to painting

00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:01.500
a portrait of his wife.

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:16.200
"This is where she is alive!"

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.750
"Dear Roderick, you burn with fever!"

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:53.250
"His Grace is feeling tired and prays that 
you excuse his absence from the table."

00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:01.000
"This is where she is alive!"

00:16:48.750 --> 00:16:53.750
The strange passion to paint
seizes Roderick again.

00:16:53.850 --> 00:16:58.850
He thought only of being alone with
Madeline, his unique model.

00:16:58.950 --> 00:17:04.000
How to dismiss the now unwelcome visitor?

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:18.000
Twisted as if by a storm, the family tree of 
Usher threatened the last survivor of

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:23.500
the race, Roderick, with the most fatal genes.

00:19:21.800 --> 00:19:27.650
"Your concern touches me, my only friend.
But take care of yourself as well.

00:19:27.750 --> 00:19:33.500
A short walk will do you good before rest."

00:21:57.500 --> 00:22:02.650
Roderick's brush was like a magic wand.
With each stroke the portrait became

00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:07.000
more lively, but Madeline grew more pale.

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:15.500
The young woman seemed to give the painted 
image the forces she had lost.

00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:59.800
"In truth, it is life itself!"

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:09.000
Haunted by all the mysteries, Roderick had 
long meditated the theories of Magnetism.

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.750
"I tell you, Doctor! She can't be dead!"

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:39.500
"She will not leave me!
We bury her right here!"

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:55.000
"I forbid..... Do you hear, I 
forbid you to nail it shut.."

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:34.000
Since the burial of Madeline, hours, days 
passed in a frightening monotony,

00:42:34.100 --> 00:42:37.750
in an overwhelming silence.

00:44:15.750 --> 00:44:20.500
Every nerve tensed, Roderick seems 
to watch some unknown sign.

00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:24.000
The slightest noise exasperates him..........

00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:39.750
Roderick dare not repeat this mad 
force that suffocates him....

00:47:39.850 --> 00:47:42.000
.....Madeline...

00:48:11.250 --> 00:48:14.250
The night promised to be stormy 
and charged with electricity.

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:46.000
"There is a two-fold Silence; one is
the corporate Silence; dread him not.

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:18.900
But should some urgent fate bring thee to
meet his shadow, nameless elf that haunteth

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:25.800
the lone regions where hath trod no foot
of man... commend thyself to God!"

00:51:59.750 --> 00:52:03.000
"Do you hear him now?!"

00:52:53.500 --> 00:52:59.750
"Roderick, you should not see this! Come
distract yourself instead with some reading."

00:53:30.750 --> 00:53:37.500
"And Ethelred uplifted his mace outright,
and, with blows, made quickly room in the

00:53:37.600 --> 00:53:44.250
plankings of the door for his gauntleted
hand; and now pulling therewith sturdily,

00:53:44.350 --> 00:53:47.750
he so cracked, and ripped...

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:13.500
"And Ethelred threw his mace, and struck 
upon the head of the dragon, which

00:55:13.600 --> 00:55:19.250
fell before him, and gave up his pesty
breath, with a shriek so horrid and harsh,

00:55:19.350 --> 00:55:22.000
and withal so piercing..."

00:55:38.750 --> 00:55:45.250
"And the brave champion now approached 
valorously over the silver pavement of

00:55:45.350 --> 00:55:51.750
the castle to where the shield was upon the
wall, which in sooth, tarried not for his

00:55:51.850 --> 00:55:58.000
full coming, but fell down at his feet with
a mighty great and terrible..."

00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:44.750
"We've buried her alive in the tomb!"

01:02:53.750 --> 01:02:57.000
THE END
