Let's take a closer look at who's who in the doomed bloodline of The Fall of the House of Usher.
The Fall of the House of Usher, directed by reigning horror king Mike Flanagan, has debuted on Netflix just in time for spooky season. The 10-episode miniseries, heavily inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's expansive body of work, tells the tale of the downfall of the Usher family, billionaire heirs to the fictional Fortunato Pharmaceuticals. Think Succession, but with much, much more gore.
As teenagers, Roderick and Madeline watch as their mother falls sick with vascular dementia, leaving her in excruciating pain and experiencing hallucinations. Due to her extreme faith, which she forces upon her children, she refuses to take any medication for her disease, leaving her children to watch her suffer and wither away. In one of the show's most terrifying scenes, Roderick and Madeline witness their mother's gruesome death.
The Four Usher Bastards: Victorine, Leo, Camille, and Perry Roderick's other four children are the products of one-night stands and brief affairs. Scarred from his own father's unwillingness to claim him and Madeline, Roderick makes it a priority to bring all of his children into the Usher household and under the protection of the Usher name and money. The oldest of his illegitimate children is Victorine LaFourcade , who joined the Usher family sometime in early adulthood.
