The showing of the Watson & Webber 1928 avant garde interpretation and the 1949/50 Hastings-filmed version (partly filmed in the Netherwood guesthouse with Aleister Crowley in attendance) directed by George Ivan Barnett and introduced via short film by his son Adrian went very well on Sunday. The first short film was greatly enhanced by Maria Christofi's atmospheric accompaniment with singing bowls and percussion. I hope to do some more similar events over this year.
Thank you to Katie Spooner and the rest of the staff at the Electric Palace.
Mansion of Gloom that includes a long section on The Fall of the House of Usher on film can be purchased here.
