 Roger Corman did it twice. Price was in the first one. Netflix has a
series 'The Fall of the House of Usher' very loosely based on Poe's
stories.

Yeah : I read 'the  pit and the pendulum' at a pretty young age and had nightmares afterwards. Think the same volume had the masque and the fall of the house of usher in it too...

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”
