Netflix viewers say ‘brilliant scene’ in terrifying House of Usher series will ‘stay with them forever’

The new series is from the same creator as The Haunting of Hill House

October means spooky season. Spooky season means Halloween. And for those who for some reason find joy in being scared, that means it’s time for horror films to thrive.

Actually, it’s not even just movies, it’s scary series too.

And recently released on Netflix, The Fall of the House of Usher has been branded a ‘masterpiece’ by horror fans.

It’s form Mike Flanagan, the same creator of masterpieces such as The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Haunting of Hill House, and Midnight Mass.

The Netflix synopsis of the eight-part series reads: “From Mike Flanagan, the creator of The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, a wicked horror series based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

“Ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher have built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege and power.

"But past secrets come to light when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman from their youth.”

And while fans are praising it for being ‘more violent and bloodier’ than Flanagan’s previous works, as well as even saying it’s ‘better than the last few seasons of American Horror Story, they’re not only raving over its horror elements.

In episode three, there is a whole dialogue about ‘lemons’. Yeah, bare with me.

It’s much deeper than you might expect for a horror series as the key character, Roderick Usher, says what you should actually do ‘when life hands you lemons’.

The character, played by Bruce Greenwood, says that ‘first you roll out a multi-media campaign to convince people lemons are incredibly scarce’.

For nearly two minutes, he then lays out just how this big lemon-centred business plan works including making them a ‘must-have accessory’, make ‘limited edition’ jewellery, do a deal with Apple, get a ‘Kardashian to suck a lemon wedge in a leaked sex tape’ and pack the ‘Capitol with lemon lobbyists’.

He also says there should be a ‘hashtag campaign’ and make it a saying among people, before getting a patent on the seeds.

Usher even says to get them to ‘look like tits’ and after all this he says: “Sit back, rake in the millions and then, when you’re done, and you’ve sold your lem-pire for a few billion dollars, then and only then, you make some f**king lemonade.”

Praising the scene on X, viewers called it ‘one of the best dialogues after ages’.

Another even wrote: “No lie… this lemon speech scene from The Fall of the House of Usher will probably stay with me forever. It’s that good of a scene. I’ll never think of lemonade the same again.”

And others called it ‘brilliant’.
