When Auguste asked Roderick if Madeline was really dead, my brain instantly went like “that’s The Fall of the House of Usher we know and love”

the virgin H. P. Lovecraft comparing a black guy to an animal in his gay necromancer story when being violently racist wasn’t even plot-relevant vs. the Chad Edgar Allen Poe, in his gay detective story eighty years earlier, having Dupin specifically state that the orangutan’s screeches weren’t any African or Asian language in what could otherwise have been the world’s easiest racist allegory

I mean Murders in the Rue Morgue is a very influential Poe with some much discussed troubling racial overtones, and Lugosi brings along a few more for good measure. But this is a perfectly “Universal Monsters” version of the material, and Lugosi is actually quite good despite it all.

In case no one has suggested him yet, your poll would be incomplete without C. Auguste Dupin, the OG fictional detective

I'm considering a post-poll Honorary Mention bracket for personally my favorite submissions instead of the most popular...

C:/ Auguste Dupin

A delusional compsci professor feels he is constantly being watched and threatened, and writes a program to tell him from where the threat comes, with horrific results.

Roderick: And then she died.

Dupin: Cool story, how'd you know about the parts you weren't there for?

When Auguste said, “Good bye, Roderick. I’m going home to my husband, my kids, their kids. I’m the richest man in the world, do you know that?”

It’s a big slap to Roderick

(SPOILERS for The Fall of the House of Usher)

My one minor critique about the Fall of the House of Usher is really just a big pet peeve of mine that I've seen in other stories: the entire narrative is Roderick confessing to Auggie about everything that has happened, going through all sorts of crimes and how each person has died, But then after everything, Auggie just decides not to do anything with the recording??? We went through this huge story and the answers to so many issues die with the Ushers?

Not taking it to evidence to exhume Griswold, not closing other various cold cases that the confessions may have solved, not sharing it to the world to give everyone else effected by the Ushers a sense of justice, not giving any of the spouses or significant others connected to the family a sense of closure of what the hell happened, and most importantly and ....most heinously... not telling Morrie about why her innocent hero of a daughter is dead.

I get the intended conclusion is that Auggie is finally at peace and saw justice served, but isn't the story a lot bigger than just him? At the very least, I like to think he told Morrie, Jules, and Bill off screen. What's the point of recording the story if it's not going to go anywhere? Like he couldn't in good conscience just leave a dead body buried underneath Fortunato? They could've just had Auggie accidentally leave the recording in the house when it got destroyed or like to see if before he made it out and made the split decision to leave it - giving at least some sort of dramatic satisfaction to his choice.

Maybe I'm missing something, lemme know if anyone has any other thoughts.

In the first episodes of TFOTHOU, we see these two images of Roderick, who he was before becoming a billionaire and who he was decades after. And in the last two episodes we realize that there was no bastardization arc, there was no descent into the abyss, these two images of Roderick Usher are the same fucking person.

Roderick, in his pre-ceo days and while he was married to Annabel, seems to be this meek and loving family man. But no, we see who he is underneath all that, when he threw Auggie under the bus after they formed a close friendship, and when he didn’t even hesitate to condemn not just his future descendants, but also his two living children to death for wealth and power.

Money didn’t corrupt Roderick. He was always Like That.
