Everybody knows that Poe's stories are at best deeply ambivalent about the supernatural and generally refuse it altogether because nothing is scarier than the decay of the human body and the gnawing fear there is no afterlife, but what Mike Flanagan presupposes is... what if we crossed Succession with Final Destination and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (why, for the love of all that is good and holy would you mix the opioid epidemic into this?), tossed in a few crappy ghosts and called it The Fall of the House of Usher?
