Scenes of The fall of the House of Usher that I'm a little bit obsessed with :
Obviously. The one where Madeline and Verna kiss (nobody is surprised) because it's less than 1 minute long, it's never mentionned afterwards and yet it makes every scene they have together much more interesting (+ 2 girlkissers confirmed, that's a win !).
When Roderick watches corpses rain from the sky ??? That was so powerful wtf it carried a sense of sheer dread and anguish that I can't stop thinking about.
Tamerlane's death. Idk why it stuck with me so much, aside from the fact that it was Samantha Sloyan, it was beautifully filmed, and the fucking spasm at the end !!!! It was so fucking pathetic and sad, Tammy my sweet little girlfailure !
Victorine's whole going crazy thing. I love the Tell-Tale Heart but making it about lesbians ??? Oh mike the man that you are !!
The acid rain. Obviously. And when Verna kisses the melted body and there's a bit of flesh that sticks to her.... this was disgusting I want more !
When Roderick is alone with the Raven after finding out Lenore died. Very powerful + great climax and use of the poem !
The conversation between Juno and Tammy, it was one of the rare actually sweet scenes of the show, i'm glad Juno made it out alive !! And ruth codd's comedic talent is absolutely priceless !!
When Roderick tells Auggie to turn around because his dead mother is standing behind him. I laughed so hard. I feel like this was a meta-reference to Flanagan's habit of having ghosts just standing there in the background and never interacting with the characters and I absolutely LOST IT when she turned around like "nevermind".
Feel free to add your fav scenes because I probably forgot some of them !!
I know I know she married into it, but thought it was worth mentioning her story arc was amazing to me. Whether you can jive with the happy wrap up of an ending or not, watching her get a backbone... priceless.
Long live Juno and her accent... let's be real here. I'll sit in that empty tomb of a house and talk to you 🙂
“it’s just a scene from a tv show, it can’t hurt you.”
the scene:
when I tell you this is exactly the moment where I broke down and cried actual tears. right when the camera panned towards her friends being there with her, tears were literally flooding down my face
Actually, I was in this awful car accident. I was shattered. Inside. More than three dozen fractures. They just whipped off the old leg and your granddad happened to be visiting the hospital on business, and I guess they wanted him to come see me because I was on this dosage of Ligodone that no one had ever been on before.

1x02 - The Masque of the Red Death
I genuinely love how Mike Flanagan writes Ruth's disability into her characters. Both Juno and Anya being amputees are important to the characters and are reasons they're in their respective situations. But her disability isn't used in like a tragedy porn/inspiration porn kind of way, and I appreciate the fuck out of that
