Happy Halloween from Wool-Shift-Dust! In this special episode Elysia is joined by her real-life horror-loving sister, Ashley, to break down the Netflix horror special The Fall of the House of Usher. We go deep into the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe to dig up all the dirt Mike Flanagan use to sculpt this excellent adaptation – expect information and insight laced with silliness and some spooky sound effects, touching on all the important topics from which Poe story episode 6 is really based on to all the juicy gossip about Poe's biggest romances and rivalries.

Later this season we'll be discussing: the novel Dune, Jodorowsky's Dune, Dune 1984 & video games, Dune 2000 (Syfy), Villeneuve's: Dune pt. 1, a preview of Dune pt. 2, analysis of Dune pt. 2, the novel Dune Messiah, and the Children of Dune Syfy adaptation.
