Trailer for Arrow Video’s release of Corman’s classic The Fall of the House of Usher, starring Vincent Price

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Earlier this month we hit you with the crazy cool news that Arrow Video would be giving Roger Corman's classic THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER the special treatment, releasing the Vincent Price-starring film on UK Blu-Ray and Steelbook on August 26, and today we have a trailer for the release as well as all of the info you need to know (as well as how to get your grubby little paws on it!). Read on!

When Philip Winthrop (Mark Damon) visits his fiancée Madeline Usher (Myrna Fahey) in her crumbling family mansion, her brother Roderick (Price) tries to talk him out of the wedding, explaining that the Usher family is cursed and that extending its bloodline will prolong the agony. Madeline wants to elope with Philip, but neither of them can predict what ruthless lengths Roderick will go to in order to keep them apart.

Richard Matheson's intelligent, literate script is enhanced by Floyd Crosby's stylish widescreen cinematography, but it's Vincent Price's anguished conviction in one of his signature roles that makes the film so chillingly memorable over half a century on.
